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.
We feel like we have to win because of the situation we're in. I still feel like we're in a position where we control our own destiny. If we win each of these next three games, we're in.
We've gone on the road and won at two very difficult places. We've got another hostile environment this week, but we know that we can win wherever we play if we execute and do the things we need to do.
I don't think we're in a situation at all where anybody's overreacting here. I mean, obviously 2-3 is not where we thought we'd be at this point in the season, especially since I feel like we have a really good team and I feel like we're better than we were last year, ... But I think our attitude is and the way we look at it is, if we win this game we're sitting at 3-3, which is exactly where we were sitting at this time last year.
I felt like we had the opportunity to do something special. I got the feeling that these guys really wanted me here. I think we've got a tremendous opportunity to win, and win very quickly. I know this town is craving a winner and we're going to get one.
When we had gone 0-2 and a lot of people doubted our confidence, and to come out and have win like this where everybody performed so well is just what we needed.
I expect to win out there.
I know I can go out there and play much better than I did yesterday. But to come out with a win is key.
When you wake up, think about winning the day. Don't worry about a week or a month from now -- just think about one day at a time.
I love the Cowboys in the early 90s. That was their heyday, winning all those Super bowls. Troy Aikman was a person I looked up to.
Think about winning the day... if you are worried about the mountain in the distance, you might trip over the molehill right in front of you.
We believed we were going to go there and win, keep our playoff hopes alive. Of course, everybody's talking about the streak being broken and everything else. But really, for us, that was just another team in our path and another game we had to win in order to go on and achieve the goals we set at the beginning of the year.
Definitely, it's best for both of us. Obviously, I'm not surprised by anything that happens any more. I've made it known I want to be here and, hopefully, that will happen. I'd like to say if it were up to me, they'd sign me long term and I'd be the guy here for my whole career. . . . You win football games and everything takes care of itself.
I think it's pretty obvious by the one offer they gave me and their reluctance to move beyond that point. Maybe I'd have the opportunity to stay there and win my job back once again. But since I kind of know where everybody stands in the organization and the people who are making the decisions, I don't think so.
