Wow, this is amazing. You guys make us go out and play with passion in our hearts each and every Sunday.
against bowl chance game great guys healthy learn super win
We're still a great team. It's one loss. We didn't play particularly well but still had a chance to win the game against the Super Bowl champions. We've got to learn from it and get better, and get a lot of guys healthy and come back and make this 13-game run.
ball ben great guy guys heck job rarely saved speed tackle
I thought it was over when we had the ball at the 2-yard line. Didn't you? Of course, I thought it was over. Everyone did. Then a guy who very rarely fumbles fumbled, and Ben did a heck of a job to tackle the guy. He saved our year. It was a great play. When you're in your goal-line offense, you have all big guys out there and the only guy with any speed is the quarterback.
becoming guy last leader looking pick prepared
Last year, everything was new to him, so he was just winging it. Now he's prepared himself, he's having fun, he's becoming a leader out there. He's a very situational guy. Third-and-short, he's looking for the guy to pick up the first down. I don't know what he was, completion-wise, but he was pretty good.
belonged bowl compared guys list super
Those guys made spectacular catches in the Super Bowl. I wanted to be compared to those guys. I never thought I belonged on the list because they had Super bowl rings. You can put me on the list now.

We have a lot of faith in him. He's earned it with his play. He's proven again and again that he's a guy who can make plays.
field fight guy harder joking respect time
We have a guy that when it's time to play around, he's joking with the players. But when it's time for business, to get on that field and get better, he's all about business. We respect that. It makes you want to go out and fight even harder for the guy.
based dream four guys opportunity super true win
You are based on what you do in the Super Bowl. Those guys had the opportunity to win four Super Bowls, and getting this opportunity is a dream come true for me.
beat believe care coaching execute felt game guys job locker maybe plan staff
We have a lot of confidence. Maybe the world doesn't believe that we can go out and win, but to beat the No. 1 and No. 2 and No. 3 seeds, you've got to have confidence. We felt like with the guys and coaching staff that we have in this locker room, we could get the job done. We've just got to go out and execute our game plan and make plays, and everything will take care of itself.
believe ben far guys starts takes
The quarterback starts everything off. If the quarterback has confidence, the other 10 guys around in him believe in him. We'll go as far as Ben takes us.
ball confidence guys job passing plays running spread three time trying
The ball is getting spread around, and everybody's happy. We're still trying to find our identity. We're still a running team, but, when it's time to make plays in the passing game, we've got confidence all three of our guys can go out there and get the job done.
against along appreciate city fans guys produce saw sit
The fans here know football. They know the guys who produce and give it all they've got, and they appreciate it. To sit there and say the city had it out against him, I don't really go along with that. I saw a lot of No. 80 (Burress) jerseys in the stands.
catch guys run
You guys are going to catch him eventually, so he can't run from you. For him, it can be overwhelming, but it's overwhelming for me to look at all you guys. This is what it's all about.
adversity behind calming great guys handling job jokes
We've had to come from behind and he's done that. He's done a great job of handling adversity, calming guys down, making little jokes in the huddle. That's just the way he is.
