ball empty excellent execution game knew last leaves lose phases played reason talented team three time turned
I think any time you lose a game like today, it leaves you with an empty feeling. We played a talented team and there is a reason why that team was 15-1 last year. We knew going in that it was going to take excellent execution on our part in all three phases of our team. Unfortunately we did not get that, we turned the ball over early.

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.

I'm proud of the way our team played today. We are coming off of three heartbreaking last-second losses in a row and we needed this win. We've gotten better and we have become stronger because we've handled the disappointment of those losses the right way.

I'm very discouraged about the way we played tonight. We came in with the right intentions, but our execution didn't match up with our intentions.

I'm very disappointed in the way we played tonight. The thing I was most disappointed in was basically the fundamentals of our team.

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.
philosophy similar work
When you look at backgrounds, I think we've got very similar philosophies. That always makes it easier, too, if you know the person you're going to work for, you know what their philosophy is.
We've got to be able to run. It's not a secret. They want to attack. They want to get us on our heels. We know what we have to do.

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.
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.
