bad definitely dramatic frustrated game games hard leaves lose lost nfl opportunity specific taste time win
There's no specific play that lost the game. Any time you lose and you lose in the dramatic way like we lost, and we had an opportunity to win, you're frustrated about just losing, period. It's hard enough to win a game in the NFL every Sunday, but the games you feel like you should definitely win, it just leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
business cash few love open opportunity smart window worry
I would love to be back. It's not about me all the time. But, then again, you do have to worry about yourself because this is a business in which you get few opportunities. The window of opportunity isn't open very long for you to cash in. You've got to be smart about it.

build changed dominant foundation game motivate since
Sometimes, it does, but it can motivate you. That was a different day, a different era. The game has changed 10 times to one since they played, but with them being as dominant as they were, they give you a foundation you want to build off of.
game time
We had to win, so we went out and did it. But it has to be about one game at a time from here on in.
best business clean egos everybody game hard next nobody peaked playing practicing taking team thinks wants
We haven't peaked yet, because we're still making mistakes. We still have things to clean up. The thing about this team is everybody wants to keep on getting better. Nobody around here thinks they're playing their best football. We don't have egos like that. We're going to get back to practicing hard and go about the business of taking this next one like we've done the whole way: One game at a time.
acts class easily entire field guys hammer makeup maniacs smiles sunday
He's a different guy, but if you look at our team, we have a lot of guys who are class acts off the field but who are maniacs on the field. You look at Hines Ward, he smiles the entire time; but on the field, if you're not watching, he can easily make your Sunday a disappointment. Jerome Bettis is a yes-sir, no-sir guy, but on the field he can hammer you, too. That's just the makeup of our team.
