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.
approaches elevate folks happen last position successful trying year
That's the way he approaches things, and that's why we were successful last year. He realizes that for us to go where we're trying to go ... he and his position are going to have to elevate their play. We snuck up on some folks a year ago, and that's not going to happen this year.
language last learned necessary speed successful takes technique together
I think so, because of the language that had to be learned and understood. The last thing you get is the technique because the language you can put together. But to be able to put the fundamentals together at the speed necessary to be successful takes some time. You can't have a lot of thought going through your mind.
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 don't know that we've played as poorly in a game as we did the game the other day, in the last couple of years.

Obviously, were all disappointed at the events of the last couple of days. I for one am particularly disappointed.
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.

The most remarkable thing of this whole football game, and I've been doing this a long time, I cannot remember the last time that I coached a game in the NFL when there was only one penalty. That was absolutely remarkable and unfortunately we had the one. But we'll get that worked out.
available cast forward giving good guy himself last looking matter opportunity preparing spent supporting time
He's spent the last two years preparing himself for this opportunity available to him now. He spent his time well, and we're looking forward to getting started. It's just a matter of giving a young guy an opportunity. You have to have a good supporting cast around him, and we do.
couple course feeling football game good household last league maybe national people plays quite recognize running sure throughout
He's never been a household name. But I feel quite sure that throughout the course of the last couple of years .Ê.Ê. people in the National Football League recognize what he's done. You get a pretty good feeling for it during the game when you see running plays that maybe get 2 or 3 yards.

The game we play Saturday is going to last for six or seven months.

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.
