We need to move the ball fast. We can't get caught on the ball on bad spots on the field.

We didn't show up until the fourth quarter. That's when we finally showed up and played. It was absolutely a letdown.
biggest cut goal half leads played second swallow time tough
It's a tough one to swallow because we played so well at time and capitalized on our opportunities. One goal in the second half doesn't cut it. That was one of the biggest leads we've ever had and we got too defensive.

It's a huge opportunity for us. If we play the way we played in Chicago with fresh legs, I don't think it would be a real contest.

capitalize few guys players strengths surround technical third
They've got a few players that are very technical and they surround those guys with speed. They pester you in your third a lot. We have to try to nullify their strengths and capitalize on our opportunities.

They turned away some of our good opportunities and it was tough to recover from that.

A lot of players are playing for positions on next year's team.

We knew this was a difficult team and they had a good chance to prepare for our team, but we matched their intensity. It is a team concept. If you work hard good things happen.

The players talk about it more than I do. But I don't think we're out of it.
