We think that right now we got a core group of players that are extremely hard working. Now, how good we're going to be, how many games we're going to win? That remains to be seen.
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.
That was a tough assignment there. That kind of tells you the reason why people fight so hard for home-field advantage. That was a tough environment today, and that's the way it's supposed to be.
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 fought hard all day and kept slugging. I was proud of our guys because they've got great heart. They found a way to win the ballgame.

I am going to take a long, hard look at when we think we should start up.
Carlos is better. His range of motion improved. He pushed it hard yesterday, but we'll just have to see.
My impression is that he's very accurate. I think he's going to be a guy that can really roam with the football. He's going to make plays with his feet. I think he has a sense of what the pocket is. He'll slide. He's going to be hard to sack because he's so big. We've seen a lot out of him. Now he needs to play.
We always want to get him in the game plan. We always want to get him the ball. Last week against Dallas, he only had three catches, but they were all big. He was one of the keys to us offensively and we try to work hard to get him the ball.
It's kind of hard to put your finger on it. We weren't as productive as we wanted to be.
It's kind of hard to put your finger on it. There are a lot of things that you could sit here and make excuses about or something.
You try to go within reason, ... and to make sure you're doing smart things. And you take a long, hard look at a game like this and say, 'Okay, what can we do to improve ourselves?' But I think we need to stay aggressive, and I think we all want to be aggressive.
That is my responsibility. Obviously, I think we want to be more productive than what we were in the playoffs. That will be one of the things we look hard at. Offensively, how can we do a better job?
