It shows what we can be when we get out of our own way. The last couple weeks, we made some mistakes that put us in some close games and when that happens, you're going to lose some of them.
We feel like we missed out on an opportunity here. We made a lot of mistakes in the ballgame that really hurt us in the end.

It's a great challenge for us, and if we make some of the mistakes that we made the last couple of weeks, then we're going to have a lot of trouble. We're going to have to execute very well against that defence.
We're going to show up and play the game anyway.
The only time you see a game like that is in college.
Really what they played was a similar style of defense to what they played last year when they went on the run. They gave up some yards here and there, but they tightened up when we got into scoring territory.
I will tell you this that everybody that plays against Lawyer is aware of where he is and aware of his ability to make big plays. As far as his speed, his aggressiveness, his physical style, I haven't seen a falloff at all.
Some of those, to me, are the best plays I've made because my natural inclination as a competitor is to make plays all the time.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of the victims of Hurricane Katrina. All Americans have an obligation to help these people rebuild their lives. I know the Dallas Cowboys have enjoyed a very strong, long-standing relationship with The Salvation Army, and as a member of the Cowboys' family I wanted to join in that support.
We never thought we'd see this happen to our team. I didn't think that this team was capable of losing a game like that.
That was the plan. The way our defense was playing, we wanted to keep the pressure on them.
That was probably my No. 2 reason for coming here, outside the talent that was around, ... I know Bill, I believe in him as a coach. I believe in the way he approaches things.
Jason Witten is a special talent. He's as good as Ben Coates (was) when I played with him in his younger years.
