bowl brought coming either error fix game judgment knowing player plays super team weighed worry
When it comes to a game as big as a Super Bowl and plays can go either way, you never want to have that happen. But that's something that you have to live with, as a player or a coach, knowing that it is going to be weighed on a person's judgment. That's why they brought in replay, to try to take away some of the error in judgment by the referees. But you can't go back and fix everything. You really want to make more plays than the other team so you don't have to worry about the referees coming into play.
came chance win
I'm shocked. When I came here, I thought we'd have a chance to win a championship, and right now it doesn't look like we have a chance at all.
help hopefully notice stuff tendency watching whether
You know I can't tell you that. It's a lot of things (the Packers) have a tendency to do. Stuff that you can really notice from watching film but also little things that I've seen. Whether it's players, whether it's schemes, just little stuff. Hopefully we can use it to help us out.
assumed bay bit both green hoped might predicted records starving teams trying win
I would have assumed or predicted that the records would have been a little bit different going into this game. I still might have hoped that Green Bay was 1-4, but I would have hoped we were 4-1. But that's not the case. Both teams are starving for a victory. That's all we're trying to concentrate on now, trying to win a game.
help hopefully slim stuff tried
I have about 20 pages, actually. But I tried to consolidate it and slim it down a little bit. Hopefully some of the stuff we can use to help us win.
honest
I can't even remember, to be honest with you.
against attitude character chemistry kept shows strong team
We just kept fighting, and that shows the strong character and chemistry that this team has, ... We had the attitude of, 'It's us against the world.'
common early executing matter needed start talented
When you have talented players, it's a matter of time. You're going to start to play well. Early in the season, we didn't have everyone executing what they needed to do. We didn't have a common cord, doing things as one. We have that now.
credit deserve guys throwing
When you have Brett Favre throwing you the ball, you aren't going to get the credit you deserve. No question, those guys deserve more credit.
add depth dominating pieces run super top youth
We've got youth and we've got experience, so we've got all the ingredients to be a top defense. I think we have things in place now to make a run at the Super Bowl. You always want to add depth and some playmakers, but I think we have the pieces in place to be a dominating defense.
confused far proper supposed
We're not in the proper spots, and sometimes we're confused as far as what we're doing. It's on the players. You have to know where you're supposed to be.
hurting level sure unless
This time, I wanted to make sure I didn't come back unless I was able to play to a level where I wasn't going to be hurting the team,
aggressive convert dropping far underneath
We need to get back to being more aggressive as far as challenging receivers and their routes. A lot of times, what we're doing underneath allows them to convert on third-and-6 or third-and-7 because we're dropping back 9 yards. We need to get a little more aggressive.
gotten ourselves
We were distraught. But we have never gotten down on ourselves as a team.
