bad continue fly football game home lose talent
Conversely, when you lose a football game and you fly home and look at it, it's not as bad as you thought it was. We know we aren't there yet. But we all feel we have the talent here to continue to get better.
backward game hit
We scaled things down as the game went on because (quarterback) Trent (Green) was getting hit back there. We went backward in what we could call.
anybody best feelings game multiple
We just did not play well ... just multiple things, multiple wounds. Best thing about the game is that I don't think we got anybody injured. We got some feelings hurt, but I don't thing anybody got injured.
affect bother game pressure saying
The pressure of a game doesn't really . . . I'm not saying it doesn't bother him -- it doesn't affect him negatively,
behind downs euphoric experience gain game kinds limit playing presents proves rushing team totally week
I don't think one game proves anything other than we're going in the right direction. It's a very euphoric experience to play well and limit a team to no first downs rushing and those kinds of things. But that's behind us. We're playing a totally different kind of team this week that presents different kinds of problems.... Doing it once in a while isn't the way you gain credibility. You have to do it often.
almost chains fine game isaac move style
I don't know when Johnnie Morton hasn't been a No. 1. He's started almost every game he's ever played. Now, he's not Isaac Bruce, in that style of receiver. But he's a fine receiver, and you can move the chains with him. He'll make some big plays.
chance concerned games history last odds past playing shows team until win won
We're not concerned about the playoffs. Right now our concern is playing well Saturday. That's all that matters. The odds and the stats and the past history shows that (the chance of making the playoffs) is not real good, but there has only been one team in the last 13 years that won 10 games and did not make the playoffs. We have a chance to win 10, but you can't do that until you win No. 9. For us, it's all about Saturday.
beat games offensive productive slow
We've had some very productive offensive games in Denver, ... but we've never been able to really slow them down enough to beat 'em. So we know what we have to do.
early games lost pay start stuff takes win winning
It's so early in the season. They're going to win some games like they lost tonight, and once they start winning those, they'll probably win some more. All the stuff they've done will pay off for them; sometimes it just takes a little time.
division game hard home single within
It's hard to single out one game as more important especially within the division, ... This is an important game for us because it's a home game - it's a division game.
bothering game harder natural
It was bothering him a little bit. And on that turf in there it's harder than being on the natural grass. It was precautionary and it wasn't game day.
accept best football frame game good guys liked picked send team
They couldn't have picked a better team to send down there and play well ? that's the way we're approaching it. We'll go down there and play our best football game of the year. The guys are in a good frame of mind. They accept it. We would have liked it to be a different way, but we have no choice.
broke defensive far football game games giving gone harder last reflection row team tribute week work york
We didn't work any harder or any different. As we said all along, that one game that we broke down last week was a tribute to the New York Giants, but that was not us when you've gone 20 games in a row without giving up a 100-yard rusher. The 20 was a lot better reflection than the one as far as the kind of defensive football team you are.
defensive football games good played prove seems teams
To me, there seems to be more good defensive football teams right now. I can't prove it, but it seems that way. . . . And there are more games being played on defense.
