bowl super
You don't get to the Super Bowl by accident. It's not just by chance, and we didn't just get lucky.
best trying week
It's a play we were working on all week long. I was just trying my best not to fumble the football.
anxious guys movies nicely point sleeping sort taking travel watching
It's the way it's always been when we travel. It's sort of light. Guys are watching movies. We travel nicely on Mr. Allen's plane. Guys are sleeping and guys are taking it easy. Nobody's really anxious at this point about what we're about to be a part of. It's sort of the same old, same old.
balanced defend football gets great guys hard news nine offense passing stop tries washington win
They're going to try to stop Shaun? Wow, news flash. I feel like we have a balanced enough offense that if Shaun gets 50 yards, if that's all he's got, we can still win the football game. If Washington comes out and tries to put eight, nine guys in the box, then we're going to have a great day passing the football. It's going to be incredible. I think it's going to be hard for them to defend us.

That's the biggest game that this organization has ever been in and he came through with flying colors. If there were any questions about his toughness, they should have been answered then.

That's OK. I've been blessed. The chips have fallen my way.
focused knew mike past penalties plays starts
We knew what we had to get done. We knew the things that had plagued us in the past were turnovers, penalties and not making the plays when we had the opportunity. We were a lot more focused today. That starts with Mike and Matt.
biggest clue game magnitude maybe might perennial road super
We have no real clue of the magnitude of this win. Maybe years down the road when the Seahawks are perennial contenders for the Super Bowl, it might not be such a big deal, but right now, this is the biggest game ever in this organization's history.
benefit contract efforts focus helped stuff talks worry
I think not having to worry about contract talks and all that stuff has helped him because he can really focus all of his efforts on coaching. Obviously, you see the benefit it's had for our team.

I realize it's part of the deal. We're still earning our respect. That's fine. It doesn't come easily.
attention close detailed paying talks type
He's very much a hands-on type of coach. He's very detailed and talks a lot about paying close attention to detail every day in practice.
ability few gotten history knack players rare zone
His ability to get into the end zone is what impresses me most. He has a rare knack for that. Few players in history have gotten into the end zone as much as he does.
anyone game line means saturday suggest win
How could anyone even suggest that? This game still means a lot to us. It's not like we're going to line up Saturday and feel like it has no meaning. We want to win this game. We need to win this game.
deserves deserving impressive mind sure
He sure deserves it. He's had a very impressive year. In my mind, no one has been more deserving of MVP.
