everybody matter matters stories time win
It's about poise. It doesn't matter if it's your first time in or if you've been there before, it only matters what you do once you get there. Everybody has different stories about how they got in and what they did once they got there, but all that matters is you win now and you keep going.
itself perception pittsburgh role sees struggling team underdog
I know the perception is that we're struggling and Pittsburgh is peaking. That's where the underdog role comes from. But I don't think this team sees itself as an underdog.

It's very rare for someone to be so short (priced),
few game pocket running throw took tried trying worry
It took the running game out. They still tried to run a few drives. Once we got up 14-0 and 21-0, we really didn't worry about the run game. It was just trying to keep Culpepper in the pocket and make him throw from there.
confidence game good home last played three
We need to go play well and get our confidence back. It'll be good in the sense that we have another game to play (before the playoffs). We haven't played well at home in the last three games.

Sacks are good - if you're up for your contract. You get turnovers, that's big. That's not saying we don't want sacks, but I'd rather have not lost a game than have a bunch of sacks.
boys everybody glamour hot interview league rides saying talk
That's how this league is. Everybody rides the hot team. We were one of the glamour boys in the league, and everybody wanted to talk about us and interview us. But now they're saying we're not that good. That's fine.
beat blew fast four game good people starts talk won
We beat those same teams, and we blew them out. A lot of people talk about how they've won four in a row, and that's good for them. But we beat those teams, too. I don't think that has anything to do with the playoffs. It's about who starts fast in this game and who makes the plays.

For example, if you want to add a solar system to your home, first invest in good insulation, efficient lighting, appliances and windows. That reduces the overall electrical use before you install a solar-electric system.
biggest changing dealt economy economy-and-economics rapidly
It is the most complex, biggest and most rapidly changing economy that I have dealt with.

It wasn't some huge game plan. You try to get turnovers. We just wanted to make tackles and not let Culpepper scramble.
