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.
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.
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.
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.
team winning play
All I can do is go out there and play hard and try and help my team win, and that's what I'm going to keep doing.
winning want ugly
You can call it ugly if you want, but I'd call it a win.
chance defense order ourselves win
We didn't tackle. We didn't get in our gaps. Our defense is predicated on getting in our gaps. In order to give ourselves a chance to win games, we can't do that.
ball beat ended learned playoff remember run stop time turned win
I don't want to go through that again. We got beat up in that game. We couldn't stop the run, we couldn't run the ball, and we turned the ball over. I don't want to remember that game, it ended so badly. We weren't the same for a long time after that. We learned that we've got to play a lot better to win playoff games.
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.
ball chance nice rolling
It would be nice to give us a chance to get the ball rolling and get a little confidence.
gotten looks mean prove talk team until
Things have gotten better on defence. It looks like our whole team has gotten better. We just have to go out there and do it on Sundays. We can talk all we want, but until we go out there and prove it, it doesn't mean anything.
downs plays third
Our third downs were terrible. We have to make more plays on third down. We have to get better.
We don't give up a lot of yards, just too many big plays.
biggest coaches guys hard league nice players recognized saw talent
We've got some good, young talent on this team, and it's nice to see they got recognized for their play, because they're not the biggest names. There are a lot of guys out there who probably get more recognition from the media, but these guys go out there and play hard every week, and they put it on film, and the players around the league and the coaches around the league saw that. That's why they're going.
