I still might have hoped that Green Bay was 1-4 and we might have been 4-1, but that's not the case. Both teams are scrounging for a victory.
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.
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.
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.
We're going to check our mail, hopefully we don't get anything, because if we do, it's not going to be good,
You never hope to have an incident like that pull you together, but I think our team did get closer, tighter. But Chicago came in and whipped our tails anyway,
I'm going to call all those guys and hopefully give them some encouragement.
You know one thing, he's definitely had a lot of experience. Playing in a Super Bowl, playing in the league so many years, he knows how to deal with crowd noise and he knows the offense. He knows all the reads. I just hope he can go out there and lead us to a win.
We have to figure out how to blow teams out when we have them on the ropes.
It would be nice. I think if it came in a better season, it would be a little more enjoyable, but it would still be a nice personal accomplishment. Records are made to be broken, so we'll see.
It was tough for me to hold back some emotion when I saw it on the bottom of the screen. I talked to him, and he says he's going to come back stronger. That's the type of attitude that he has.
I've been shocked from the get-go with this team,
The whole season was emotionally trying. We went through so many ups and downs, on such a roller coaster. It was a season that had a lot of scenarios, good things and bad things. But the end result is we had a winning record, and that's a positive.
(Roman) is healthy and playing a lot faster and more aggressive than he was last year, ... I've had a chance to see the other young kid, Collins, a little bit. He looks like he's going to be a good player for them. He wears the same number as LeRoy Butler (No. 36) and is kind of similar to LeRoy as far as build.
