That's why, as a guy who has been around long enough to understand that, I feel so strongly about wanting to win a championship here. Because if you do, your name lasts forever.
This organization has been very loyal to me and I've been loyal to the organization, ... And it will continue to be that way.
They played with a different level of intensity, and we didn't match that. This game was for the season to them, and they came to play.
This game is about momentum. Washington has the momentum and a deep-seated desire, and they have a purpose. It showed in how they played today. They played with a different level of intensity, and we didn't match that.
Now it's our backs against the wall. We have to go out to Oakland and win a big game. It's a very tough environment, especially given the fact it's going to be New Year's Eve and it's crazy enough as it is out there already.
I think we did some good things. Eli was a little bit more consistent. He made some great decisions out there and he was a good leader in the huddle. I think execution-wise we weren't perfect, we still have a lot of room for improvement. That being said, we're ecstatic that we're 2-0. We have great team chemistry right now with everyone doing their part, but we're still not holding up our end completely and it's going to take some time.
I think we have the components, but we've got to keep showing that we can win a lot of different ways, like we already have,
I think at halftime we realized we were probably putting a little bit too much on Eli and we went back to running the ball and doing basic things.
It is a short week and we have a long trip against a tough opponent. It's going to be a sense of urgency for us to get prepared for this one.
Knowing Stray, he'll play. He was walking around, but he wasn't walking all right. But he's always ready to play, even when he's hurting, he's OK.
I think it'll tell a lot about our team and our offense in particular and how good we really are. They've been playing great defense and it's a monumental test for us to go on the road and do what we've done at home.
I think we believe it. I don't think there's a doubt in our minds. But as always in this game you have to prove it, not only to people who are watching, but also to yourself.
Our quarterback is playing so great right now. You can see how he's improving exponentially each week.
He won't have to think about it or hear from his agent what the organization is thinking. He can stay focused on football - not that Jeremy hasn't been focused.
