Winners win and losers lose. We weren't winners. We're winners this year. We look at the game differently. It's not like it was last year. We have a totally different team. We expect more from each other.
Where you're playing against someone when you have to be on point it's not wise to do like I did. It went from bad to worse. I was getting hits from folks I normally don't take hits from, and I fumbled the ball.
We're all just kind of in the groove. And no one wants to get off anything right now.
We realized what it takes to beat good teams. We got to see it in one crazy environment. D.C. has some loud, great fans. That was an eye-opener for us.
I stopped conversations with everybody, and everybody has been up front saying that they are going to talk about it after the season.
I think last year was made more dramatic than it really was to me and Mike. Everybody in this whole organization, their big goal is to win a bunch of games, go undefeated here at home, get to the Super Bowl and see what happens. When everybody has that as their goal, it eliminates all the other personal goals.
We have a lot in common and we do definitely resemble each other and definitely do all sound a little alike, but I'm definitely the tallest, better looking of the three. It's a curse that I have on my triplet brothers.
The arm comes down. The thing shoots up. It was crazy. That van probably won't be driven for a while.
I believe that Seattle is really, really close to being a dominant football team. We can have a great tradition for a long time. I want to be a part of that. But fair is fair. My gut tells me Seattle will be fair.
I wish I could see more weaknesses. There just aren't any.
If this isn't the best fit for me, then wow! I don't know how much better it can get.
Oh yeah. I took all the tests and realized the guy knocked some sense into me. I am actually smarter than I was before.
Some of it seems like it is going to go fast, then some of it is going to go slow by next Thursday before the game. We are going to enjoy where we are, but we know that our only goal is for (Super Bowl) Sunday.
Mike says when you get to Detroit everything goes by so fast that you really don't even feel like it's real preparation.
