We controlled what we could today by pulling out a huge victory. We're still going to try to win the last two and see if we get invited when it's over. That's all we can do.

We're very disappointed, but we are going to look at and see what we can do to improve for this week.

We will play everybody that is healthy enough to play. Our starters will start, our starters will play, because we have one objective, and that is to get to 10-6.

We finished things off today and picked up a big win. We battled and found a way. I couldn't be more proud of our men.
believe best diego early reference running san seen threw year
Early on, while here in San Diego my first year or so, I used to reference him as one of the best I have ever seen. A year ago when (he was) injured, I threw the caveat away and said I believe he is the best running back I have ever seen in professional football.
absolutely believe best diego driven early given pride reference running san seen success threw wants year
Early on while here in San Diego . . . I used to reference him as one of the best I have ever seen. A year ago, when (he was) injured, I threw away that caveat, and said I believe he is the best running back I have ever seen in professional football. The best part about it, given all the success he has had, he is absolutely driven by one thing and that is a pride that he wants to be the best.
adversity counted difficult eight faced injury problem starters step time year
Every time they've been faced with the kind of adversity that injury brings, they've managed to step up. It had to be difficult for them. I counted eight new starters that they didn't have a year ago. That's a problem for anyone.

We're talking about another 12 points if you're able to score touchdowns instead of field goals.

We cannot be complacent with playing good but not winning games.
battle coming knew lived overall performance pleased
We knew coming in this was going to be a battle and it lived up to that...I was pleased with the overall performance of the team.
combat five job pass run send six staff stuff tough ways
What they do is stuff the run on first down and get you in 2nd-and-long. Then you try to pass and they'll send five or six guys. They can really put you in some tough spots. It's our job as a staff to come up with ways to combat it.
division football goal might national playing split team understand year
We're playing a division opponent, a team we split with a year ago. I understand those that might say, 'Well, you know, play Philip,' and all, but that's not the way the National Football League, in my view, is set up. Our goal is to get our 10th victory.
ability came everybody football plays terrific
Everybody got their money's worth. It was a terrific football game. It came down to our ability to make some plays in the end.
