close couple failed games home last offensive side stadium ways weeks win
We have not done the things on the offensive side particularly the last couple of weeks that you need to be able to do. Normally, we find ways to win at home (they were 4-4 at Qualcomm Stadium this season), we find ways to win close games ---- and we have failed to do that this season.

I would assume the number of games and carries he might get would not have any negative effect on him because he's such a big, strong, physical guy.

We cannot be complacent with playing good but not winning games.
ball care clear difference games point position possesses winning
The point I've made very clear to him, and I made very clear to you: You will not play quarterback or any other position that possesses the ball for me. You have to take care of the ball because it's the difference between winning games in this league.
games guys maybe refused speaks win
You have to find a way to win the games where you maybe don't play at your very best. Our guys just refused to be denied. I think that speaks very, very well for them.

We were out-played. Kansas City I thought played extremely well in every aspect and we ended up on the short end of it.
confident drew eric felt good honest parker realize situation
We had the long fourth-down situation and Eric Parker and Drew make it down to the 7-yard-line, and I'll be honest with you, I realize there's no certainty, but I felt very confident with where we were. I just felt good that at the 7-yard-line we'd find a way to get it in the end zone.
catching change practice tip
We are catching everything in practice so we are going to change our tip drill. We need to change it up because what we are doing is not working.
fell short team win
We fell short of our goal, clearly, and that was to win the championship. But I wouldn't say that it is a team that underachieved.
We feel very, very comfortable with our position.

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.

I spoke with ('72 Dolphins Head Coach) Don Shula right after the game. He congratulated me on the victory. The fans got their money?s worth. I thought it was going to come down to the end and it did.
surprised took
I should have still been able to get it done. I wasn't surprised they took me out.
