ballgame kept played terrible
I think more than anything, I feel terrible for our defense, because we let them down today. I went up to them and apologized. There was nothing else to I could say except, 'I'm sorry.' They played hard, and they kept us in the ballgame all day, and offensively we let them down.
care extremely good nice played system terrific
I don't care what system you are in, it is nice to have him. Marcus was terrific tonight. Very intense, played extremely well and had some good catches for us.
bad happening last line mistakes nobody played playing problem wrong
Nobody played well. The problem when you're playing quarterback ... even if things go wrong around you, you're the last line of defense, and my mistakes compounded what was already happening yesterday. It was just an all-around bad day for everybody.
played
They played it well. That's the play we had on.
anybody becomes beginning best bounce confidence few game perfect played ready season start statement talked team time took week worried
I think this becomes a confidence game more than anything, ... I'm not worried about making a statement to anybody but ourselves. This team is ready to get some confidence, and I think that's the best way to put it. I talked at the beginning of the season about getting a few breaks, making a few plays, getting on a roll, and this is a perfect week to start that, especially after we played Chicago, where we took one in the jaw. It's time to bounce back.
correctly games mistakes turned
Everything went wrong, ... We made mistakes on things that we have been doing correctly all season. It turned into one of those games where we just couldn't do anything right.
decisions good hour relationship talking today
We didn't make any ground-breaking decisions in an hour and a half. We've been talking off and on for a while now. We've got a good relationship like that. So nothing was said today that hasn't been said already. We're just going to have to wait.

anybody came everybody finger locker nobody point room
Blunt. He was the same way everybody was. He came in. He said, 'We all got beat, and nobody in this locker room can point a finger at anybody else.' And that's what everybody in the room believed.
hear
Tell me how I'd hear about it? ... Don't know. Don't want to know. Doesn't matter.
behind far five games left playing pride reality
There's five games left in the season. I don't know how far we're behind the Bears, but the reality is we're probably playing for pride now.
ability best biggest catch chance defender fastest hesitant last natural position proved roy speed throw tough year
There's nothing that Roy doesn't do well. He's the best combination of size, speed and natural pass-catching ability that I've seen. He's not our fastest receiver, and he's not our biggest receiver. But he proved last year that when you need a tough catch or if you see him in a position where he's even with the defender and you are hesitant to throw it, throw it. Give him a chance and he'll catch it.
matt president
That would make Lions' president Matt Millen look like a genius. For once in his life.
fought guys hoped kept proud shows ugly
I was proud to be with a lot of those guys in the huddle because they fought through it, and that shows character. It was an ugly season, and it wasn't what we had hoped for and not what we expected. But guys in that huddle kept playing, and I was proud of that.
