believed disrespect football knew people played portrayed sixth team
We never played the disrespect angle. We knew what it was. It wasn't disrespect. It was us being the sixth seed, so it wasn't disrespect. No one believed we could do it but us. We didn't feel disrespected, we just knew we were a better football team than people portrayed us to be.
believed bring home time
Here we go, Pittsburgh! We set out a long time ago to bring this back home to Pittsburgh. You all believed in us, believed we could get it done. This is ours, but this is also yours. Every one of you.
believe biggest laying maybe monday night ready rivalry
Maybe they're just laying low. But you'd better believe when Monday night comes they're going to be ready. This is the biggest rivalry in our division, and they'll be ready and we'll be ready.
ask believe believes block everybody gets job party shame skate spoke sure
You ask us to tell you something, and when we kind of skate around the truth, that's accepted. But when we tell you what we believe to be the truth, I think we've been criticized. So it's a shame that he spoke out on what he believes and he's being criticized. What Stevens said is what he believes. Their job is to make sure it's not a big block party after the game. Our job is to make sure everybody gets a ticket.
believe football good kick prepare seattle
Don't believe that. Seattle has got a good football team. If we don't prepare and we don't get ready, they are going to kick our butts.
beat believe everybody felt guys locker room supposed
Everybody is supposed to beat us. We really jelled and felt that we could get it done. Only the guys in the locker room believe that, and that was enough.
believe committed detroit everybody great ownership people
It's a great city. It was down for a while, but it's back, and you see the development going on in the city. There's a sense of ownership in the city. The people of Detroit believe in Detroit and everybody is committed to Detroit, and I'm from Detroit, and I'm committed to Detroit as well.
believe guys imagine last until
When I did that, it was like 'I can't believe I did this'. I didn't think about it until the guys said, 'Can you imagine this being your last one?' I was like, 'Yeah, that would have been bad'.
believed bring city happy home thankful time
We set out a long time ago to bring this back home to Pittsburgh. You all believed in us, believed we could get it done. I'm just so thankful for everything that this city has been able to give me. I'm just so happy we were able to give this city the one for the thumb.
against believe came coaches easier execute expects feels game great nobody picking pressure
No question, I think it's a lot easier when there's no expectations. We know what that feels like to have that pressure on you and we came out and said, 'Hey, it's us against everybody.' Nobody expects us to win, nobody is picking us to win, and that's fine. As long as we believe it and the coaches give us a great game plan, we'll execute it and come out on top.
bad based believes criticism criticize critics-and-criticism easy guy joey past porter shows speaks throughout
Joey Porter is getting criticism based on what he (has) said throughout the playoffs. I think it's easy to criticize him because of what he said in the past. But it's not like things he said in the past weren't true. The guy speaks off the cuff; he shows you what he believes and what he thinks. That's not a bad thing.
believe city
I believe in this city and its future.
ask bad believes guy shame shows skate speaks spoke
The guy speaks off the cuff and shows you what he believes and what he thinks. That's not such a bad thing. You all ask us to tell you something, and when we kind of skate around the truth, that's accepted. But when we tell you what we believe to be the truth, we get criticized. It's a shame he spoke out on what he believes in and is being criticized.
block everybody gets job party sure
What Stevens said is true; their job is to make sure it's not a big block party after the game. Our job is to make sure everybody gets a ticket.
