We just got outplayed. They made great adjustments and we didn't do very well adjusting ourselves.
We just got outplayed, ... They made great adjustments and we didn't do very well adjusting ourselves.
I think he should get a lot of credit. He's the one that is able to put the ball in our hands. He comes up with different ways to really get the ball to us, and I think he does a great job of doing it.
I'm sure Bill said, 'If we stop the run, we have a great chance to win the game because they don't have their All-Pro tight end,'
I don't think about the playoff loss anymore. I think about the team we had, the fun we had together the whole season. We had a great time.
It's not so much a disappointment, ... I've had a great run at it.
It's not much of a disappointment. I've had a great run at it. I'm happy with being tied with Lenny. Any day, I'll take that. Like I said, everything must come to an end and I've had a great run. I'm certainly not disappointed at all.
It's just like when you're gaining a lot of yards - it just happens. A guy like Chuck Muncie, everybody knows what kind of player he was. It's great to be in the same category.
It was just another gutsy performance by our leader. He spread the ball around and made a lot of great throws. He was clutch as always.
I believe a lot of players that start to think about money - 'Oh my goodness; I'm up for a new contract' - they don't have a great season because they're thinking about all these different things. Do your business on the field, and everything takes care of itself.
They made some great adjustments in the second half. We obviously didn't do a good enough job in finishing.
Their offense is really in gear where they can score points. And it's hard to run the ball against the defense. They've got a great secondary with the young corners and an All-Pro in Champ (Bailey). I just think they have all the tools to make it.
We saw that they were stacking the box to stop the fullback, ... We saw that no one was going out on me when we run the sweep. We decided to pitch it out there and it was wide open.
I've said it before, but I guess nobody really took notice before. It's just a goal that I have.
