confidence football good half last picture team
We should have confidence because we are a good football team on offense. We've scored some points, particularly in the last half of the season. . . .We're going to look at the big picture going into this game.
best games great quite teams
That was quite a while ago. But it's a great memory, one of the best games I've ever been part of, one of the best teams I've ever been part of.
care everybody focused forgetting giants good hopefully looks switched team teams themselves watching work worry
I think everybody looks at that, and we were doing that for a while. But I think what's important is that we just worry about ourselves, and hopefully things will take care of themselves and will work out. But I think we've really switched gears, this team has, I know offensively, forgetting what the other teams like the Giants and Dallas, who they all play, watching the scoreboards. We're really more focused on ourselves, which I think is a good thing.
lost sick team
I am sick that we lost the game. There is only one team after this is all over that isn't frustrated.
available ball guy hard plays teams underneath
Most teams will not give you the plays downfield, ... particularly when you've got a guy like Santana, who has made big plays. You've got to be patient, and you've got to take what's available to you with the underneath stuff. So it's about being patient, but sometimes that's really hard to do, because you want to get that ball downfield.
against feeling games good halfway hard overall played pleased position team tough won
We're not in any position to make any proclamations because we're only halfway through. All we can say is we're pleased with where we're at, 5-3. It could be better; it could be worse. You are what you are and we're a 5-3 team halfway through. Probably the overall feeling is that we feel pretty good about ourselves. We've been in tough games and won them. We've played against good defenses and offenses, and for the most part we've done very well. But it's hard to say at this point.
advantage ball giving hurt mistakes offense playoff realize situation smart team three
The offense that makes the most mistakes, that's the team that's going to lose. They had three turnovers, we only had one and it didn't hurt us. In a playoff situation like that, you realize that that is the most important (factor) - being smart with the ball and not giving it to them, because if you do, they're going to take advantage of it.
bring football good played team
We played a good football team on the road, in the playoffs, and you've got to bring your A game. You've got to be at your best. If you don't, then you're going to lose.
confidence gives last perhaps played points score team time
They're a better team than the last time we played them. Having been able to score those points (35) last time perhaps gives us some confidence going into their place.
asked coach familiar felt great last man playoffs season seem team week
He'd been to the playoffs before. I was asked last week what I thought this season has felt like for Coach Gibbs. I would think it must seem very familiar to a man with all those playoff wins. He's a great coach who understands how to get his team to play.
close difficult disservice game last move team thinking
If you play long enough in this league, you're going to have some real close ones, difficult ones to overcome, but you've got to move on. If you don't, you're doing your team a disservice by thinking about the last game and not about the upcoming game.
team winning men
Hed been to the playoffs before. I was asked last week what I thought this season has felt like for Coach Gibbs. I would think it must seem very familiar to a man with all those playoff wins. Hes a great coach who understands how to get his team to play.
character five football says shot stuck team thankful win
You win five in a row, it says a lot about our football team and our character and how we stuck together. We have come a long way in a year. I am real thankful, thankful for another shot at this thing.
ball convert downs hands needed third
We just needed to keep the ball in our hands and convert those third downs and get some points. But we just didn't do it.
