against backs everybody found game last lose losses option players row three took tough wall week win
We'd had three tough losses in a row and everybody was down. I think our players said to themselves: 'Our backs are up against the wall and we've got no other option other than just to win, and if we lose another game we're probably out.' So they kind of took it as this last stand, and it was that way every week . . .somehow we found a way to win those last five.
five game guys looking lost seemed straight talked time tough trying understand win
Looking back to 5-6, we talked at that time that if we lost another game we'd be out. Trying to win five straight is a tough deal, but our guys seemed to understand what it would take. We went back to the basics.

I think he's a courageous guy. We need to get everything else on offense working together. All of us working together, including myself. I think he can make plays to win games for us.

I think we've got a ton to play for. Each one of these games is kind of precious to us. We need to get back on the winning track. Everyone can count the numbers. We've got five wins; we've got five games left.

I think any of us, including Coach Parcells, would say that it's players that win games. You have to have great players.

When are we going to start getting it done? I don't know. I know we're here for the long haul. So, at some point, we've got to start getting it done if we're going to win football games.

balls bind either explain five football four hands ratio side week whatever win
Every week we've had four or five opportunities to get balls in our hands and we have not been able to, for whatever reason, to either get the fumble or get the interception, ... I don't know how to explain it. But it's put us in a real bind because you're not going to play on that side of the giveaway and takeaway ratio and win many football games.
business chasing concentration deal dealing drama football full handling myriad people players problems unhappy whatever wind wrong
Whatever your business is, we all have a drama going on in our own lives. We're all unhappy about something. You have sickness, marital problems, a myriad of things going wrong in everybody's life. You have to deal with those things right away. You have to get their full concentration on football. I'd like to be able to communicate even more with my players when things aren't going bad, but it's just like everything else in life. The problems take over, and you wind up chasing the problems. I'd say handling people is the most important thing you do as a coach. Dealing with people, really, is all football is.
areas ball corrected fix focus games improvement regular turning until win
It's a real concern, ... It's a problem. We've got to get it corrected because you won't win games up here turning the ball over and I'd still say those are two areas where we have not showed the kind of improvement I'd like -- turning the ball over and penalties. So it's something for a real focus from now until game time. In the regular season, we've got to try to find something to fix it.
