It's something that we talked about and worked on extensively this last week, and obviously we still have some work to do there. One of the important things is we've got to be in third-and-shorter yard situations.
Everyone knows Bill challenged this team to get to 5-3 at the bye. It's a team with strong character that will respond when challenged.
They came in here and got themselves back on track a little bit,
They call the plays and I try to just find the guy who's open,
They made an effort to stop Jason today. We tried a couple of times to get him the ball and they had two and three guys on him. But we had to get some other guys involved.
It seems like we're a little reactive right now. We need to be more proactive in our approach.
Then to start out 0-2, and to get injured, and then not be able to get back on the field, all of those things. ... But I have to say that I had gone through in my mind and had envisioned this scenario being the case for the past week, because that's what you have to prepare for. But to have that happen, and to be kneeling on the ball at the end of the game and to be going to the Super Bowl, it's just a little overwhelming.
A lot of throws I make to him feel weird to me. It feels like I'm throwing to the wrong place, but it's actually the right place for him because it's up high and he can snatch it.
It's great to get back here, back home.
Crazy things can happen, ... There are a lot of talented players in this league and if you don't take advantage of your opportunities and put a team away when you have a chance, you always leave them some opportunity to beat you. That's what happened.
You don't get another chance to make a first impression, everybody knows that, ... That is important. But at the same time, the process for me is going to be one where on a day-to-day basis, I'm going to have to show a willingness to work hard. I'm going to have to be here for the team.
There were really two things that factored into my decision. One of them was Bill obviously, and then the other one was looking at the talent that was here.

You play this game to play, ... It feels that much sweeter when you are on the field. ... To have that situation play out the way it did, it's an emotional high.
