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.
Why this would happen to us? I don't know. We've had three tough losses and a total of five tough losses. I wouldn't want a different group to coach. These are the guys I like. It's up to us, and we're going to see what's going to happen down the road.
Certainly I'm treating this as starting all over again and seeing if we can develop a winner in Washington. It's a tough league. We'll see what happens.
I was starting all over. It's a tough road up here and last year, for whatever reason, I probably deserved it (the criticism).
You hate to see him go through something like this, ... and we have to go through it, so it's a tough deal. But I think we've just got to deal with it. His injury this time, they said if last year was a 10, this year is a 2. It's not nearly as bad.
You can tell he's very comfortable with himself. I don't think he second-guesses things, which a lot of us would when we're going through in a tough situation.
Trying to win five straight is a tough deal up here. Our backs have been against the wall for five weeks.
For all of us, the collective bargaining agreement is a big deal. We've seen everything in this league - strikes, free agency and salary caps. For some teams in the league, it's going to be tougher. We'll be one of the teams that it will be tough on.
I've got to tell you, for a little old guy fighting his guts out, we really like him. We've got some tough decisions there to make, and certainly he stood up.
That's about three of the toughest losses I've been through, ... This is going to be a real test for us. We'll see what we're made of here.
It's great at least to be at 4-2, ... That part is fun. You get to play games that count now. We're entering a tough stretch here. It starts with the Giants.
It's a situation where it's tough for Tom and tough for us, ... We think the world of him.
It was a tough deal for us for him to get hurt. So what we're going to try to do is make the best decision.
It will allow me to focus on things where I can help the football team. It's tough when you're in meetings and the coaches are waiting on you. I can already see that we're farther down the road on some things by doing what we're doing.
