On offense, we were sloppy a little bit... couldn't take care of the ball, and had some penalties. You don't get to win many of 'em doing those things.
It's a lot easier to lose than it is to win. It's easier, but it's not more comfortable.
I'm glad we were able to win this last one. I saw some good things tonight, ... It's just preseason, but we ran the ball good. I'm happy about that, and the first-team offense was pretty sharp.
No matter how much you've won, no matter how many games, no matter how many championships, no matter how many Super Bowls, you're not winning now, so you stink.
I was fighting every windmill, especially when I was in college.
Individuals play the game, but teams win championships.
Resourceful coaches strive to have more ways to win than the other team.
There is winning and there is misery.
Part of buying the groceries is having a philosophy and trying to stick to it as best you can, knowing that occasionally you may make an exception. But, you do so knowing you're attempting to do it for a certain reason and you have to be very careful not to try to make too many exceptions, because then you wind up as a franchise with a team full of exceptions, which is not what you want.
You lose with potential. You win with performance.
You can easily separate 'team guys' from 'me guys' by how they accept coaching. The guys that accept it are about winning
Losers assemble in small groups & complain, winners assemble as a team & find ways to win.
Even when you're successful, even when you win the game, about an hour after the game, you have a litany of things that you now deal with that are problematic... So the times that you are happy are minute compared to the time that you're dealing with problems.
I think we proved we can take a punch and still win in the end. You take 'em any way you can.
