ahead biggest manageable second stay talk third time
The thing we talk about all the time is first and second down is huge, stay ahead of the chains. Don't be third-and-8, third-and-10; be third-and-4 or less. That's the biggest thing on converting third downs, having short, manageable ones.
dictate played
We just played bad. When you get down like that, defenses can dictate what they want to do.
continuous sustained
We never got continuous drives. We never sustained anything. It's frustrating to know that we didn't do what we know we can do.
few normally played sharp
I don't think we necessarily played bad. But we weren't as sharp offensively as we'd like to be. We didn't get a few things done that we normally get done.
great impressed integrity
I was so impressed with what he said and the integrity he had. I thought he made some great comments.
game sure
We need to make sure we know who to block. I'm sure they're going to be one of the better defenses we play all year. So I'm excited. A big AFC game at their place, nationally televised. ... No excuses.
beat defense felt giving knew ours
We knew we just had to put one touchdown on the board, so we felt very comfortable where were at. With the defense giving you as many turnovers as ours did, you can't beat it.
attention care goal none seed stuff talk undefeated
The attention for us going undefeated is in the media. None of us talk about it. I said it all year: Our goal is to be the No. 1 seed in the AFC. All of that other stuff will take care of itself.
early ourselves plugging separate
It's early in the season. There's a lot of things that can happen. We need to just keep plugging away and just try to separate ourselves from the pack.
coach extremely handle ourselves sad wants
It's an extremely sad day and an extremely sad time. We want to handle ourselves in the way Coach wants us to.
difference field people speaks sunday talk
What we're doing on the field speaks for itself, it doesn't make any difference what people say. You have to come out on Sunday and do it then. ... We don't have to talk about it, we just go out and play.
came needed offense standards time tony turbulent
We were in a kind of turbulent time when he came here. Tony set standards for controlling the ball, for what we needed to do on offense and defense, and how we should play every game.
beat splitting stadium
You never like to get beat at home. Splitting at each team's stadium is not the way to do it.
bodies effect hard hope sure
You play as hard as you can now and you hope for the best. I'm sure what we do to our bodies is going to have an effect on us in the end.
