against ball defense defensive football good lose momentum move past pick stop sudden teams yards
Yeah, it is frustrating. But there is some good with it. When you move the ball 80 yards on your first drive, and all of a sudden you're on the 1-yard line, and all of a sudden you lose your momentum like we did. When you go against a good defense and you're in long-yardage situations, you're going to be in for a long day, so you can't stop yourself. We're going to play a lot of good defensive football teams this year, so we'd better pick it up. If we don't, then we're going to be inconsistent like we have been the past two weeks.
cast feels good high hoping played playing supporting system third year
I think most quarterbacks in their third year have a good feel for the terminology, a good feel for the supporting cast and you are hoping that in the third year, your quarterback is playing at a very high level. He feels a lot more comfortable with our system and a lot more comfortable with the supporting cast and he has played well.
consistent good mistakes stopping track
We haven't been very consistent on offense. We have to get back on track like we did in the preseason. We have to get back to not making mistakes and stopping ourselves. If we can do that, good things will happen.

came fourth good job quarter quarters run
We've done a good job through the season, but that fourth quarter wasn't one of our better quarters when it came to run defense.
along couple draft extra good hoping nice players procedure season terms until
I don't think along those terms until it happens. You've got an off-season to go through at the end of the season and you've got a procedure you go through every year. It's always nice to have a couple extra draft picks, and you're hoping when it's time, you get a couple good players out of it.
fell good short
Obviously, there were some good things, good record, but we fell short of our goal.
good
I feel very good (about the No. 3, 4 and 5 receivers),
defense eleven expect four good great guys hard job level played playing quarters thumb
When you do that, it makes it hard for your defense to play four quarters at the level that we expect them to play. We did not do a very good job on offense. I can not put my thumb on it, because there was some great effort, guys played hard, but you have to have eleven guys out there playing together. One guy here (and) one guy there just doesn't get it done.
good morning tougher weather
We had a good practice. It was a good tempo. It was a little tougher this morning with the snow, but it lightened up a little bit. The weather was pretty good.
good half points
We had some opportunities in the first half offensively and couldn't get any points in that end zone. When you do that on the road, usually good things don't happen.
good job played running since until
Tatum's done a pretty good job since he's been here. It's like all running backs. Until a guy's played consistently through a season, you really don't know.
both broke chance good help matter mike
It really doesn't matter who starts, ... Mike's been our starter. Both will get a chance to help us win. I thought it was a good combination in the game. Mike broke some tackles and Tatum was able to get us some big-time plays.
advantage coached controlled game good job played stopping tempo
The way they controlled the tempo of the game ... once you did have the ball, you had to try to take advantage of it. They did a good job stopping us defensively in the first half. They just played better and coached better than we did.
