biggest caught emotion fact finality games guys kept understand
The biggest thing is not to overreact and to keep responding. Our guys just kept responding. You can't get caught up in the emotion and the finality that these games can bring. The fact this team's been there before, I think, they really understand that mindset.
certainly few games last
They certainly will look at his last few games where he probably didn't play as well as he did earlier,
bit football games guys lined national playoff seemed veteran won
It probably seemed a bit of a luxury. But there's a lot to be said for having veteran guys who have lined up and won games in the National Football League, who have won playoff games.
forward fun games good looking ourselves ready
It's kind of good to get back to football. I think that is what we are all kind of looking forward to now. The fun and games are over with now, and it's getting ourselves ready to play the game.
against ahead ball best games guy run seized willie
I think Willie is a guy who has seized an opportunity. For the first two games he got over 100 yards. We didn't really run the ball that well against New England, but Willie is a guy who has a lot going for him and the best is still ahead of him.
appreciate came dealing games help knowing prepare standpoint types
It has been a help from the standpoint of knowing how to prepare for these types of games, being in important games and dealing with adversity. I think it is important to appreciate where you are and know where you came from.
coming few games losing lost next remember
I don't remember losing too many games coming off the bye. Of course, we've lost that next game a few times.
games play may
We know about the Detroit offense with Calvin Johnson, the best receiver in the game. If this defense continues to play at this pace, they may have something to say about the NFC North.
ahead choice forward games guys looking losing path situation three tough
The circumstances are such that we don't have a choice. We were put in that situation by losing three games in a row. We know the path that is ahead of us. It's a tough journey, but the guys are looking forward to it.
early games good prove
The first two games have been a good start, but we have to prove we can do it consistently. Right now it's too early to make any judgments.
against caliber cannot dwell football game learn move obviously ruin
In hindsight, obviously you wouldn't want to do that in a game like this. Against this caliber of a football team, you cannot ruin opportunities like that. He understands that. I just told him to let it go, learn from it, and let's move on. Don't dwell on it.
chance diego easily fact left picked playing san says team year
In Denver, they had a chance to win. I think this team could very easily be 4-0, ... I think that says a lot about the fact that they've really picked up where they left off a year ago. I don't feel like we're playing like we did a year ago, but I think San Diego is.
consider fact guys reflective special teammates themselves
In my 14 years, I don't think we've ever had so many guys get votes. As I told the team, it was very reflective of what they thought of their teammates and the fact that they really do consider themselves a team. That is pretty special to get that many guys with two or more votes.
ability course deal good happen job plays respond teams trying weather within
In any big game, a lot of it comes down to an ability to weather storms, to be able to respond to situations. We did a good job down there but we didn't do a very good job up here. It comes down to making plays and trying to be opportunistic and deal with circumstances that happen within the course of a game. With these two teams it's going to come down to execution.
