balance cases chance chipping determination determined four looking number outcome plays position talent three trying turn win
When I was playing, it was 10 or 12 plays that determined the outcome of a game. Now, because of the balance of talent in the league, it's come down to three or four plays a game. All you're looking for is to be in a position where you have a chance to win at the end. We haven't been able to do that, in a number of cases but we just keep chipping at it, trying to find a way to turn that corner.
catch four great last point putting responding team time
What they've done is remarkable. But at what point in time do you keep responding when you have to keep putting in new players? They've done it wonderfully over the last four years, but there comes a time where it has to catch up with you, even with a team as great as this one.
against compete opportunity special
When we get the opportunity to compete against each other, there's something special in that.
against critical field giving goal kicked lead talked three week yards
The critical thing in my view, when you look at the whole thing is, we kicked the field goal to take the lead and they go 62 yards for a touchdown in three plays. We talked all week about giving up big plays. You can't do it against any team, particularly against Pittsburgh.

We still could have shut them out and won by four.

We'll make a decision on Sunday whether he'll be active or not.
We'll know more about them after Wednesday's practice.
follow front guys hard nights prepare unorthodox
They (the Giants) do a lot of unorthodox things with their front seven. It is hard to follow and hard to prepare for, and I think it was just one of those nights when our guys made the right guesses.
al coming gold good league middle nice plus seen williams wilson
Al Wilson to me is as good a middle linebacker as I've seen in this league in a long time. I think Ian Gold coming back for them has been a big plus for them, and D.J. Williams has done a nice job.
explained family priority
As I've explained to him, his first priority is to his family.
breaking fingers point pushes stick
You've only got 10 fingers to stick in the dike. Is there a breaking point that pushes you over the edge? . . . Where's the limit?
albeit game gets himself opportunity player prepare sure unilateral
You're damned if you do, damned if you don't. You need to make sure that each player gets an opportunity to prepare himself for the game tempo, albeit (in) preseason. So you end up making arbitrary, unilateral decisions.
ball good however outside ways
They are pretty good outside defensively. We need to find ways to get him the ball however we can, and that was just one of the ways.
