I think part of it had to do with footing. We never really got into the kind of sync that you like to get in. But we did not perform well in any area today.

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.
area believe fact football light might perform question team today year
We did not perform well in any area today and that's awfully disappointing for all of us. We're a better football team than we were a year ago. I believe that. Some might question that in light of the fact that we didn't play very well today.
anxious chance forward good guys looking none number performance point regard step stone
We have a number of guys that we're looking at and we're anxious to give them a chance to step forward and show us the skills. We have a pretty good idea, but none of that is etched in stone at this point in regard to their performance level.

There is no evidence in their recent history that would indicate that injuries have in any way compromised their ability to perform in a winning way.
aspect city ended extremely kansas played short
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.
