allowed defense figured fort held looks proud until
Our defense had to play well until we figured out what looks they were going to give us. I was proud of our defense because they held the fort and allowed us to play patiently.
clark dallas dwight good passes takes
Dwight should be good to go. Dallas Clark is about the same. We'll know once he takes the (neurological) test. If he passes the test, he'll be able to play.
dwight fine foot practice ready rest sat sore
Dwight sat out of practice but we think he's going to be fine and ready to play. He's got a little foot soreness, not really a sprain but just a sore foot. But all indications are he should be ready to go. So we just wanted to rest him today.
anybody biggest cards children family gotten letters lost people rare situation variety
Our family has gotten a lot of letters and cards from people who have lost children in a variety of ways. The biggest thing is, it's not as rare as we would think. People have been in that situation and a lot of people have gotten through it. As much as you never want to be in it or want anybody else to be in it, people do make it through.

We went to New England and beat the AFC East leaders, we beat Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. Knowing we can beat the good teams and defending our turf is a good feeling.

Bob looked fine. He told me last night that he intends to play, so we'll see. It's a big game, the national spotlight, so I think it will be tough to keep him out of there.
advantage allowed beat denver jump last playoffs start toward
Even last year, when we were 12-4, we didn't get the bye week, and we had to beat Denver in the playoffs before we ever got to New England, ... That was a disadvantage for us, and an advantage for them. This start we've had has allowed us to get a jump toward getting that first-round bye, which is a real goal.

The Super Bowl is a long, long ways away. I don't think they're looking at it that way, and we aren't. We just trying to improve and play better this week than we did last week.

You don't win championships in September or October. You don't win them in week eight. You don't win them with one game.
against beat coming cut deal everybody game hopefully houston landmark playing point practice recognize second short team tough week win work
You don't win championships in September, obviously. You don't win them in Week 8. You don't win them with one game. This is going to be a tough deal for us to come back. Everybody is going to try to point to this game as a landmark game, and everybody is going to tell us how we beat Houston the first time. Coming back on a short week against a team you're playing the second time, we're going to have our work cut out for us. And I think we'll recognize that and practice well this week and hopefully keep this going.
crowd front home season turned
We're disappointed the way this season turned out, disappointed not to play better in front of our home crowd today. But we'll survive.
defend michael offense people special tailor willing
Vince Young is a special, special guy. If you're willing to tailor your offense to what he can do well, people are going to have to defend things they've never had to defend before, even with Michael Vick.
