I think we take a long hard look at ourselves, and it certainly starts with me. ... It seemed like we were kind of all of us together on it.
I think all you can ask for is to have a chance at the end of the year. A lot of great cars still have a chance and we've got to earn it every week.
I think any of us, including Coach Parcells, would say that it's players that win games. You have to have great players.
I think as much as anything it's their character. They keep fighting, and it's paid off for us.
I think it was one of the prettiest plays I've ever seen,
We'll continue to talk about that all week,
When I told (my wife) Pat (that I was coming back), she said you're going to ruin your good name. After the first year, we're halfway there.
We're all working hard to try to improve it in any way in the league and particularly officiating is a big deal, ... I think we've got very professional people there, and they work hard at it and we need to be a part of helping them and not working against them.
We're counting on Sean being here. We had a good talk about it today. We're both on the same page.
You always have a burning desire to do well, ... It wouldn't matter if it was the first year, second year, third year.
We certainly accomplished a lot this year. We were 6-10 last year, and the facts speak for themselves this year. We got a lot of good things done.
We had a miserable first year (6-10 in 2004), and that's real hard on you. So you go in the second year knowing you've got to make something happen. Being able to get 10 wins, that helps a lot. It gives the whole organization confidence. If we hadn't gotten into the playoffs, it would've been a real downer. Getting in the playoffs was somewhat of a turning point for us.
We had two long drives there that we didn't finish well in the second half, our guys felt like defensively, ... We gave up four big plays, which resulted in a lot of yardage there.
You and I are the players, God's our head coach, and we're all playing the biggest game of all.
