football game messing thoughts win winning
We're not messing around. We want to win every game from here on out. We have to or else we go home. I'll tell you what, we do have our thoughts in the right place, though, and that's winning. We're a winning football team, that's what we do.
ahead far
We don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves.
ahead create definitely lose stay
There are a lot of things at stake. They're undefeated. If we lose this game, we'll get behind, and that's something you don't want to create in your division. You definitely want to stay ahead of the game.
chance definitely feels game good home stay worry
When you get a chance to play a game like this at home, you definitely want that opportunity. It feels good to be able to stay at home and not worry about travel.
expect
He was all over the place. That's what we expect of him, and he can do it every week.
adjustment game lose time
The only adjustment I have to make is being in game shape. When you take this time off, you lose a little of that game-time conditioning.
blows knows respect whistle
I respect his game, but he knows when the whistle blows we'll go at each other's throats.
course
Over the course of time, I could feel it getting tighter and tighter,
afraid ball cross goal hoping knew
I was afraid that it went out of the end zone, but I really wasn't sure. All I knew was that he got me right before I got to the pylon, so I was hoping the ball didn't cross the goal line.
difference last special time
I think we have all our people, that's the difference this time around. If we have all of our players, which we didn't in the last two playoffs, we can do special things.
responding sports tough
I think we're tough when we do things like that. We were responding to some things they like to do. We're active.
both looking plays run teams
I think both teams can do other things and make plays doing something else. But when you get down to it, both offenses want to run it. And when they run it, they're not looking for just first downs, they're looking to take charge.
emphasis everybody looking
I think all the emphasis has made it even more valuable, ... Everybody is looking for those players.
maybe recovery shocked
I was a little shocked with the recovery I made so fast. I didn't think I'd be able to do anything today. I thought maybe tomorrow, but not today.
