finding fine football games guy guys lose overstated player players trick trying untalented win
I think that can be overstated just a little bit. If you have a very untalented guy who is a high-effort guy, you are going to lose every week. You like them like that, but the better player is going to win more games for you. The trick is finding those guys that are really fine football players and really don't think they are that great; they are always trying to get better.
anticipate couple games next noisy played stadium team visiting work
We played in noisy games on the road. I don't anticipate it being like that, but I think we will be the visiting team in that stadium I'm pretty sure, so we're going to work on that the next couple days.
apologize football game games heads lose lost ok reasons
I know they're not OK with it. I wanted them to keep their heads up. There's no need to apologize for anything. We lost the football game and we lost it because of the reasons you lose most games ... mistakes.
catch good players plays prepared
The plays were good plays, and I think we prepared properly. But really it's about the players making plays and making the catch and blocking. And when they do that, you look pretty good as a signal-caller.
beat football great huge indy win year
The only thing I can think of (for the Steelers being favored) is that they beat Indianapolis, which was a huge win for them. Indy was having a great, great year and is a great football team. And that popped Pittsburgh, as it should.
believe football game guys situations smart team veteran year
When you look at the two teams, (the Patriots) have been in more situations like this and they are more experienced than we are. They are a very veteran and smart team, and that's our goal, to get there. What I have to do is get our guys to believe they can be there. I believe we're going to be a better football team at the end of the year than we are right now because each game our young guys get better.
counts credit score statistic team tough
The only statistic that counts is the score at the end of the game. Give credit to the Steelers. They're a tough team to play against.
stand supposed
We said, 'Just stand over there and do what you are supposed to do.'.
playing radar stay
This year, we're under the radar and we're playing well. I think we can stay that way for a while ? as long as we keep winning.
chances couple gain instead ran time yards
We had a couple of chances to gain some yards and we ran laterally instead of up the field. At the same time I want it to improve, and I have to see some improvement.
records
We're going for the record. We've set a lot of records this year. We're going for that one, too.
Those (turnovers) typically come in bunches and those are real contagious.
decided otherwise quiet worse
To get this thing to quiet down we all just decided he has to not practice, not play, ... Otherwise it's one of those nagging things that could get worse if you don't do it.
angry bowl calls frustrated super
To have the story of the Super Bowl be the officials, that was crazy. I was more angry and frustrated by some of the calls that I was devastated.
