care chunks eat hard plays taken team work
Big plays like that are hard to overcome. One play to eat up that kind of yardage is tough. For us to be the kind of team we want to be we can't give up yardage in big chunks like that. We'll go back and work on that and get it taken care of.
focusing hard ready talked team
I've always talked to my team about focusing on the things you can control. So I got this team ready to play as hard as they could today.
anytime awful begins difference four games hard prove statistics win
It all begins with the takeaway/giveaway. Anytime you go four games and don't get a takeaway and you're minus-8, it really doesn't make a whole lot of difference what else you do. Statistics prove that it's awful hard to win when you don't get a takeaway.

We aren't happy where we are. We have to do a better job in the base fundamentals of the game. We have to work hard to keep our poise and to execute under pressure.

It's hard to think of anybody in the league that's quite like him right now.
awful efficient game hard negative offensive sloppy
I think there's an awful lot for us to learn. We were not sharp. We were too sloppy at times with the turnovers and penalties. It's hard to have an efficient offensive game if you have that many negative plays.

Our guys played hard until the end again. They did a good job of handling a lot of adverse situations. It's been an extremely difficult season for all of us.
anybody field guy hard league quite team tremendous
He's been a tremendous contributor to that Colts team this year. He's a guy that you always know is on the field because he's got the kind of explosiveness to make plays. So it's hard to think of anybody in the league that's quite like him right now.
cannot care great job taking turn
We have to do a better job of taking care of the ball. We know the Steelers do a great job of it and they do not turn it over much. We cannot turn it over.
anticipate coach football head heart job soul understand win work
I understand the job as the head football coach is to win games. But when you put your heart and soul into something and it doesn't work the way you want it or anticipate it to, it's disappointing.

Quite frankly, I'm glad we have a bye week this week. It gives us a chance to do a lot of self evaluation. We have got to find some way to bounce back.

We had our opportunities and were close on a few, but we didn't make the plays it takes to beat a good football team.
best defense defensive games last liked played pressure today
The thing I liked about our defense today is that we were able to get pressure on the quarterback. Our defense has improved. In the last two games we've played our best defensive games.
basically character check far gut penalties
The thing I was the most disappointed in (Sunday) was basically the fundamentals of our team. Our tackling, our blocking, there were far too many penalties right now, it's a gut check and a character check for our team.
