I pretty much made up my mind. If I kicked it right now, without running a play, (Brown) would make this kick. I've done it before. You take a chance on a pass and goofy stuff happens. I was not going to take that chance there.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We said, 'Just stand over there and do what you are supposed to do.'.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Being the personal protector, blocker for Shaun Alexander and then look what Shaun has done.
Bobby has been so good to start this year.
