doubted earn good great people playoffs respect win
We had to win in the playoffs to earn respect and we didn't do that. So all of the people who doubted us, I guess, were right. We may be a good team, but we're not a great team.
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.
bright crap feels good guess hurt side team
It feels like crap right now. Disappointing. But I guess you could look at the bright side and say we're a young team and all that good stuff. It's going to hurt for a while.

We have to stop thinking we're a good defense and start stepping up and do it. Two plays killed us. No excuses.

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.

The No. 1 thing is you have to be able to protect the quarterback, ... If we put pressure on him and stop the run, we'll put ourselves in some good situations.

It was a great hit. The refs didn't call a penalty, so it was a good play.
call chance given good great healthy nice opportunity ourselves playoff problem rest sweep time
It's a good problem to have, if you call it a problem. And it is not a problem. Any time you have a chance to get an off week, it's a good thing. We have given ourselves a good opportunity to rest some guys. It would be nice to sweep our division. It would be great to get 12 wins, but so would having everyone healthy for a playoff game.
good tradition
We know about the tradition here and all that good stuff. We've just got to make plays. That's what it comes down to. We know there's a lot of good defenses here in the past, and we feel like we're one of those teams.
defense flew fun good
Today, our defense flew around and had a good time. It was fun out there.
anytime except good matters obviously people players realize realizing
People are realizing we have some good players here. Anytime you lose, nothing really matters except winning. ... People realize that when you win, you obviously have some good players on your team.
decision easy good knew livelihood loves mess sure terms trying walk
He's been trying to come to terms with it for a long time. I think he knew a while back he was going to do this. I'm sure it's not easy for him -- it's what he's done his whole life, it's what he loves to do -- but he's making the right decision when it comes to your livelihood and being able to walk and all that good stuff. Don't mess with your neck.
