But you know what? All that just makes what has happened this season all the better. |
He should have been up there sooner. |
I can't let go of the excitement, |
It felt like after '83 and '84 that you'd be back there next year, big deal. This is going to be one of those things where you're in the playoffs every year. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen. |
It was a very exciting time, ... We carried Chuck [Knox] off the field after the win. The franchise was relatively new, and it was just sellout after sellout after sellout. It's great we were able to put together a season like that when the NFL sages didn't think we had a good team. |
It's funny when you start off, and things are going well, you think they are going to continue every year. |
It's not like we're happy that they haven't had that kind of success, or that we're glad they haven't always done well. But it does give you a sense of pride to see what we did there with Chuck. |
We were still a very young franchise. If we had just won one playoff game (the fans) would have been happy. To go as far as we did, they were ecstatic. |
When he came we were, I don't want to say in disarray, but he brought a little more stability to the program, ... He was the kind of coach who didn't take any guff. He brought a new feeling when he came in and brought with him a group of veterans who'd won before. He shook things up. By bringing in those guys he raised the bar for all of us. |
