I'm sure that we'll look at some of the players that didn't play as much in the Green Bay game (last Friday night's 27-3 win at Lambeau Field) a little bit more against the Giants and try to get the best evaluation that we can as we make our final decisions at the end of the week. I'm sure that the players who didn't play as much against Green Bay will play more than the ones who did play quite a bit against Green Bay. Let's put it that way.
I'm proud of the team. The players played hard and I thought they played well and made the plays they needed to make to win the game.
We didn't make the plays we need to win. There's not much more to say. It's hard to win when you give the ball away.
You get two kicks blocked in a game, your odds of winning go down significantly. So, that's an area we have to get straightened out.
The toughest task now is, 'How are you going to top this?' Because we're going to win another one.
Do you think we're going to win many games playing like this? ... This won't be good enough. It wasn't good enough today and it won't be good enough against anybody else either.
Do you think we're going to win any more games playing like this? We can't play like this. We have to play better. We have to coach better. This won't be good enough . . . against anyone we play.
Do you think we're going to win any more games playing like this? ... We can't play like this.
I don't care what happened last week, last year, last month, what the overall record between the two teams was going back to 1947 or whenever they started playing each other, or who wins when the wind is blowing in from the north. I pay attention to what the matchups are for each individual game.
It's hard to win when you give the ball away.
I think all of the players on the team understand that they are going to be called on to do certain things, and for us to win and be successful, they need to do it, whatever it is,
We had a chance to look at a lot of our younger players. We are in a much shorter window now than you would be if you opened a week from Sunday.
Statistically, we're fighting an uphill battle when we're on the negative turnover ratio and winning games, especially on the road, ... That's not normally the correlation. ... Right now, we're in a little bit of a dry spell.
We need to play better. What else is there (to say)? We aren't going to win many games playing like this.
