believe best bottom create distinct fans hard league line passionate positive sports winner
I believe (the NFL) is the best sports league in the world and it has the most passionate fans. Every place is a little distinct in their passion and when you lose, they're going to let you know. The bottom line for us is working as hard as you can, working together, and working to create a winner again. We do that and the fans will be passionate in a positive way.
bring fans fulfill great obligation passionate promise team tradition winning
The only thing I'll promise to do is everything I can to fulfill my obligation to bring a winning team back to Buffalo. There's a great winning tradition here, we know the fans are very passionate and it's something we're very passionate about.

We are just trying to see if we can jump start and get a win somehow.
bring power promise team winning
The only thing I will promise is that I will do everything in my power to bring a winning team back to Buffalo.
against great wall wins
In our business, it comes out in wins and losses. And if you win, it was a great decision. And if you don't win, it was not a great decision. And we know that our back is against the wall to win.
background believer creatively fact run steve throw variety ways win
I like Steve because I like his background. I like the variety of ways he's coached. I'm a big believer in the fact you've got to do it all to win in our league. You've got to be able to throw it creatively but you've got to be able to run it. He's had a background in both.
available chart contribute depth limited numbers players special teams
It was a numbers thing. Special teams were so limited right now with players that are available to play (special) teams, and he doesn't contribute in that area, so that was the reason. It wasn't really for anything he hadn't done. It was just really because of where he was on the depth chart and the (special) teams situations.
bit bring changing higher hopefully level push somebody start surface thinking three
We wanted a three-man push there, thinking that the three of them would bring the level of play up of all of them a little bit higher and then one of them will surface (as the starter). At some point, we'll have to start changing the reps, because somebody hopefully will take the job. It'll be interesting.
game grows player thrives
(Bettis) is the kind of player that the game needs, the game thrives on, and the game grows around.
difference felt hindrance lost meeting problem talking team
I've never felt like it was a hindrance as a coach, I've never felt like it was a problem with a player. Never felt like it made any difference in a meeting. I've never felt like I lost a team in a meeting talking to them.
feeling strong whatever worked
I've always had a strong feeling that they just want to win. For whatever reason, it hasn't worked out for them.
bless bruce football god heck jim jobs kelly player position team whether
Every position is competitive. Whether you have Jim Kelly or Bruce Smith, if there is a better player that can take those jobs from those guys, then God bless us, we've got a heck of a football team in the making.
choices definitely good gotta maybe players terms
You gotta get lucky, in some terms. You gotta get on some players who maybe don't think they're that good and they play a lot better than they are. You gotta get on it in terms of injury, and then you have to make the right choices personnel-wise. The ones you think are going to be players, they all gotta be players and they gotta play up to it, so it's possible, definitely possible.
We have to look out for each other. We're all we got.
