It's interesting that three teams have (off weeks) to prepare for us now, but byes can be funny things. I've been in situations where we came off one and played terrible. I've also been in others where we came off one and just kept rolling. We have great momentum now. We just want to keep it going.
I've got big plans for (today). I'm going over to the facility, talking with the coaches a little bit, talking a little football. It's just a time to get to know each other. It's wild. I'm having fun with the whole process, but it's a little stressful at the same time.
We had a saying that the fun stops at one.
We did the 1972 Dolphins a big favor. But why? Two weeks ago, the 2005 Dolphins handed us a home defeat, which might end up costing us a spot in the playoffs. It would have been sweet revenge on the Dolphins had we lost to the Colts. With all this talk of whether or not the Colts should have rested their starters, wouldn't it have been funny if we had rested ours? That would have been hilarious.
He seems to be a fan favorite, and he's fun to watch. Hopefully we'll see him scurrying down the field on special teams and when he's called on in the offense.
took a moment to kind of just stare at the sky and think about the past seven months.
We talked about it all week, how this could be the game that we throw it 50 times, and I think we almost did,
We went into a couple of sports equipment stores and asked if they had heard of Darren Bennett, ... They all said he's great; he made it to America.
We felt our defense had done its part, and it was time for us to do ours and put the game away.
It was tough to know that was the end of our chances to make it into the playoffs. To come home and get to spend time with family, I think that got everyone's mind off it a short period of time and allowed everyone to take a deep breath and see what can we accomplish this last game.
The whole team has tried to do too much. That's what happens sometimes when you have success. You feel like you just need to do better than better. At times, better is good enough to win. I think you can try too hard.
Sometimes you get in those situations, you try to do too much, try to say, 'I'm the guy who has to make every play and it's my responsibility to do everything,' which it's not,
Everybody was yelling 'we love you Flutie,' and 'you should be the starter.' They're yelling everything, ... They love the guy there. They were yelling stuff at him about when he was the starter back in the '80s, saying 'they never should have let you go.'
At the start of the season, our goal was to win a championship. We were expecting to be in the playoffs, so that wasn't even a goal.
