There's a large core of guys in that locker room that were here. [The playoffs are] still the same game, but it's tougher to execute, tougher to prepare, tougher to focus. I think they understand that and that's invaluable. |
There's no doubt having the bye is an advantage because it allows you to rest your team, but it's been done before. You just try to make the most of your opportunity. |
There's not going to be a whole lot of scheming going on. |
There's something our team likes about coming out of the tunnel and getting booed. The players rally 'round that. |
These players, they go and see these people and they rally around them, |
They are all important, (but) let's put it this way, I don't think either one of us has much margin for error. It's not like we are both 3-0. It's a very important game. |
They are just day-to-day, and we'll see how it goes along the way. We'll see how they feel tomorrow. |
They fought hard, but we just got beat by a better team. |
They had the ball too much. We never generated anything offensively. |
They have a lot of talented people on that defense. I thought they had a good plan doubling Steve. |
They play better defense than what their statistics showed. I felt that coming in. |
They whipped up on us pretty good there a while back. I think our guys understand that, and it's going to be a very tough affair in a very hostile environment. |
They whooped up on us pretty good last time around. They are a very good football team. They are seeded second and sitting at home resting. That's who's up next. |
They're all tough. You put a lot of work into every player you have. You put in significant time, |
This bye couldn't have come at a better time as far as getting guys ready. |
