game goal healthy number people super teammates though win
Even though you're not in the game, you still like to win and see your teammates do well, so it was a little frustrating. But at the same time, we got out of this game healthy with the people we need to get to the Super Bowl, and that's the number one goal we wanted to take into the playoffs.
anyone beaten games gives knows playoffs room win
No one gives us respect. They do, but kind of begrudgingly. But we haven't beaten anyone in the playoffs yet, and we need to win playoff games to get respect. Everyone in the room knows that.
found game lose time
We were in the game the whole time and found a way to lose in the end.
best game overlooked three
We're not the Giants. If they overlooked us, didn't play their best game, whatever. We didn't play our best game either. They scored three points, so we didn't play our best game. They scored on us; they shouldn't have.
chance couple found game gave good lose plays showing start time
We have to play better. If we think we're a good defense, we better start showing it. We didn't make plays when we had to. We gave up a couple of big plays. We had a chance to win the game. We were in the game the whole time and found a way to lose at the end.

We haven't won any games in the playoffs yet. If we can win, I'll definitely be happy to be compared to them.
anyone beaten games playoffs regular win won
We haven't beaten anyone in the playoffs yet, and that's what we have to do. We've won a lot of big games in the regular season, but we need to win playoff games to get respect.
gaps happened miss quite
We've just got to be more disciplined. If we get out of our gaps and miss tackles, we're going to get gashed. That happened quite a bit.
flying running
We kind of got after him a little bit. We were flying to the ball, running our gaps.
approach chance good remember special
I don't remember much from that season, it's so long ago. We know we have a good chance to do something special here and that's the way we're going to approach it.
ball created direction ground seems zone
We think it's possible. We get a lot of takeaways. The ball seems like it's bounced in our direction right now. We've got to get those balls. We haven't created a lot of fumbles so far. We've got to get the ball on the ground and try to get in the end zone that way.
best defense extra year
We've had an extra year in the system. I don't see why we can't be the best defense in the league.
coming ended guys last next
We were young last time, too, and we ended up being 4-12 the next year. I'd like to think we'll be better next year. We have a lot of guys coming back. ... We're optimistic, but I'm not going to look at that right now.
ended remember season
I don't even remember that season because it ended badly.
