It's more of a little bit of a change in what the medical people feel is the quickest road to recovery.
It just didn't feel like the right thing to do. We considered all our options and decided not to tag anybody.
It?s always good to make those yards when you need them, like in short yardage and goal line situations or like that third quarter (against the Jets) when you're going into the wind. You want to try to control the clock a little bit. Those are important yards, too. I think we can do a better job in running the ball than we did. I hope we can.
They played well, ... They played a good football game. They played better then we did. They deserved to win. They outplayed us. They outcoached us. They outperformed us.
They're ahead of everybody by two or three touchdowns. Being able to withstand the onslaught in the first quarter, the first half, whatever it is, it sure is going to be important. . . . They get off to a fast start and they keep it rolling and they just run out the clock in the second half.
They're one of the hottest teams in the league. They're always a difficult team to play, no matter where you play them.
They haven't given up many long drives. They're not in the red area very much. They're not at the goal line very much. They usually get them stopped before people get down there against them. They don't give up many points. They're good.
There's a lot of love between us -- me, Charlie, Romeo. We've been together with the Giants, the Patriots, the Jets and the Patriots again. For it to be able to end this way ... the only word I can think of is 'special.'
It was certainly a positive having him out there. I'm sure he'll play a little bit better the next time. It was his first time out all year. He's got a little bit of catching up to do, but he still gave us a good lift and performed well.
It was good to be able to run the ball and run the ball with consistency, control the clock. Those are things you have to do at this time of year.
It was special and I knew that at that time. I told the owner (Modell) that several times too, when he had some questions about how the coaching was going.
It was a tough game. We've got a lot of work to do, in all areas. There's just things we need to do better and I to do better.
It was a tough game to coach. I was having a heart attack out there.
It was a terrific game, came down to the last play,
