I just think no one is perfect. If you asked them (the officials), they'll probably say they could have had a better game. You can't take nothing back. What you can say is Pittsburgh won, and everybody has to go and knock them off because they're now the defending champions.
I love my wife and she was knocked out, so I was cleaning at 2 o'clock this morning. It's just a fun time. I'm so proud of everybody in this organization right now. We have a true family atmosphere where everybody is doing whatever it takes for us to win and keep going. It's fun.
I really don't pay attention, because I don't really ever watch the news or anything like that.
I never really thought I could be with another team. But it was neat to be with the Carolina guys.
I never really thought about whether it could be done or not, because awards are exciting but they're not the end-all, be-all. Being 13-3 was a goal for us ... Those all come with setting the first goal, which is being good.
I'm not used to losing. It's always hard to lose. It's disappointing. You have to give Pittsburgh credit. You don't miss the plays that often without somebody making you.
It was just weird. We've never been in a situation where, no matter whether you win or lose, you're still the exact same seed (for the playoffs). It's one of those things where you still have to play the game.
This is kind of surreal right now (to be thinking of the future). I'd like to return to Seattle. On the other hand, fair is fair.
I want to score every time I touch the ball, whether it is one yard or 99 yards. I just want to go out and make a play.
He's telling us everything before it happens. When it happens, you're like, 'OK, he's right.' Hopefully, during the game there's going to be some time he says, 'OK, this is going to be the next thing that happens,' and we're all going to trust and believe whatever he says.
I don't really listen to talk. Usually, when people talk they get my linemen upset, and after a while, they stop.
I don't know how people can say they played great when they lose. So I played OK. It would have been a little bit better if we would have won.
By halftime, you're saying, shoot, (if I lose) I'm going to be owing money to be here. That's when it cranks up a little bit.
I definitely think Kobe Bryant is more recognizable.
