We could have played better, and we know that. But in this business, the only thing that matters is wins and losses, and we found a way to pull one out. |
We didn't convert third downs. They sacked our quarterback and put us in second and long, third and long; that's hard to [convert], especially against the champions. |
We didn't really plan to go this way. It's been twice I had home-field advantage, and we came up short both times. We're one game away from the Super Bowl. We're right back where we were last year. |
We didn't want to go through this by choice. That is how it went. Last year, we were a No. 1 seed. This year, we had to win our final four games just to get here. So we've been on a playoff mentality the last four weeks of the regular season. It's win or go home, so we've gotten used to playing with pressure. |
We dominated ... and we still lost. Hard to forget that one. |
We don't feel like we're favored. We're not going to change. We're still playing like a team with desperation. |
We don't just want to be happy to be there. We're going there to win. |
We feel like we can do whatever we have to do, and whenever we have to do it, to win. But there's not a lot of mystery to how we like to play. Get a lead and run the football. |
We fell one game short (last year). A lot of guys are focused, real hungry. Things didn’t go particularly the way we wanted in the preseason, but you don’t game-plan in the preseason. Our whole focus now is Tennessee. |
We felt we were in control. But they played 60 minutes and we didn't. So now we've got to regroup and let's try to win 13 straight. |
We felt we were in control. But they played 60 minutes, and we didn't. |
We gave ourselves a chance to win the ballgame, |
We had to keep him on a gag order a little bit. But if they start it, Joey is going to finish it. Trust me. |
We have a coach who's been here 14 years, and that says something right there about how the team operates. |
We have a guy that when it's time to play around, he's joking with the players. But when it's time for business, to get on that field and get better, he's all about business. We respect that. It makes you want to go out and fight even harder for the guy. |
