We felt Adam was going back. He had been in the same place so long, you never thought he was going to leave. Then he spent a day and a half in Green Bay and we thought, maybe there's something to this. |
We got down early but we didn't panic on the sideline. We kept our spirits up and we played a lot better in the second, third and early in the fourth quarter. We made some big plays. We got the turnovers. We got the momentum. |
We had a chance to go ahead and see what happened, but we didn't finish it off. |
We had a great season. We have to pick it up from here. We just couldn't get it going. We played hard. We didn't give up. we have to use this as motivation for next year. |
We had a period of time where we had the ball it seemed like forever. |
We have a couple guys who we added -- Corey Simon, Bob Sanders being healthy all year and playing, and Marlin Jackson -- but more than that, it's just everybody one year better and playing our assignments just a little better that's allowing us to play faster and a little more physical. |
We have talked all year about playing the next game, |
We have to be a better special-teams unit. We've got to win games on special teams and not lose them. |
We have to learn to channel our emotion and energy. We didn't play with a lot of composure. |
We have to sharpen up, |
We heard so much about how it was going to be a physical game and how physical these guys were, |
We hope he's ready, ... He's doing a little better every day. |
We just didn't have much going early. They got the ball and got the jump on us, made some plays. … It wasn't until that long drive that we got any rhythm at all. |
We just didn't play well enough today. They played better than we did, they deserved to win the game. We played hard and gave ourselves a chance but didn't quite make enough plays. |
We just have to become more consistent in what we do. |
