bring energy fans feels good joy release sure
There has been such a release of joy and energy from this city. It sure feels good to bring these fans what they wanted.
alone dwell last
You can't dwell on those things. We can't dwell on last week, let alone last year.
bunch execute guys sure
We had a bunch of guys out there who weren't really sure what they were doing (last season). We've got a bunch of guys out there right now that are much more responsible to their assignments, and that's why we were able to go out there and execute when we had to.
facing game guys intensity picks twice
It picks up. You're facing these guys twice a year. They know you, and you know them, so the intensity is there. It's a game we've got to win.
deep playoffs
That's something we lacked in years past. (We) let down a little bit. I don't think we're doing that right now, and if you want to go deep into the playoffs you can't do it.
arguably best game receiver shut smith steve
Steve Smith is arguably the best receiver in the game right now, and we just shut him down completely.

coach good great hope instant lends love number offense
It lends instant credibility to the Lions. I think he can do a number of good things for their offense and I hope he does it. I love coach Martz. He'll do great things for Detroit.
We really don't know what it's all about. We haven't experienced it, the letdowns and heartbreaks.
chance cut given guys number signed stars teams
We have a number of guys who have been cut by other teams we signed off the street. Guys who were not given a chance in other organizations to play. These guys come in and have been stars for us.
chance cut decided given guys number picked powers starters talent team teams whatever
We have a number of guys on this team that have been cut by other teams that really we picked up off the street, guys that weren't given a chance in other organizations to play, for whatever reason. The powers that be decided they didn't have the talent to play at this level, and these guys have come in and been starters for us.
football games lead offense win
When we have a 21-point lead at halftime, those are football games we have to win on defense. Our offense can go out there and go three-and-out every series, but defensively we should still go out there and be able to win those football games.
bigger blew deal games goes lost number people won
We blew a number of games we should have won defensively. It all goes back to that first game when we lost and people like to make a bigger deal out of it than it was.
