designed era four people three win
To be able to do what they have done in an era in which everything is designed to get people to be .500 win-loss percentage, and they go out and win three championships in four years, to me that's remarkable.
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.
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.
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.

If a player is on the sideline, he needs to stay there throughout the entire game.

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.

We cannot be complacent with playing good but not winning games.

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.

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.
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.
brady brings cases certainly confidence defense doubt field football game gang guy hope kicking offense overlook position talks team tom
Everyone talks about the confidence Tom Brady has in what he does and I don't doubt that. But let's not overlook the confidence that he brings to every other guy on that football team on offense or defense or the kicking game - 'let's get the ball back; let's get field position because Tom can do it.' He is certainly not a one-man gang there, but to me, the one thing a quarterback can bring is hope and certainly he not only brings you hope, but in most cases if you give him an opportunity, he will get it done.
field instead points score talking
We're talking about another 12 points if you're able to score touchdowns instead of field goals.
ball finish medals moved yards
We moved the ball effectively but you don't get any medals for yards gained. We've got to find a way to finish those drives.
