[With a fast start] you can deflate them big-time coming off a loss, [like Seattle last week and Buffalo this week] . . . they start second-guessing themselves. |
But you won't hear any excuses in here. We're going to hold ourselves accountable. We'll look in the mirror and do what we have to do to get headed back in the right direction. |
Don't ask me for tickets. I'm tapped out. Everyone in this locker room is, too. |
He has a lot more power, deceptive power, a lot more than you see on film. He's strong, he has the speed to get outside. I think he got some tough yards inside today. That's for sure. |
He made some throws but at the same time, when he wasn't sacked, he was getting pressure in his face and getting hit after the throw. That was the key. |
He's got that calmness. You can just tell. He wasn't rattled throughout the whole course of that game. And we got a couple interceptions. He had some bad plays. But he stayed right in there. |
I feel great about it so far. We're growing as a unit, progressing every week. When you have new faces and new guys playing in there beside you, it takes training camp and preseason games for you to gel. |
I haven't even thought about (preventing the Panthers from making the playoffs). They could still get in even if they lost to us. That is not motivating me. On Sunday, that will be the last thing I'm thinking about. |
I need to see an injury report on my quarterback, |
I saw somewhere that the Georgia Dome is one of the easiest places for opposing teams to play. That's ridiculous. As far as I'm concerned, I can't imagine a worse place for a visiting team. It's a nightmare. |
I think the whole key to that game was the momentum that we did not create in the very beginning, |
I told Mike [Vick] he better call Marcus [Vick] and give him a heads-up. They might run into a buzz saw in their own stadium. |
I was always a big Falcons fan but my family situation, we didn't have the money to come to the games. The only game I came to was on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers [a 45-17 loss Sept. 27, 1993]. The game was over by the second quarter, and we were in the nose-bleed section and we were the only ones there. We could pretty much do what we wanted to. |
I'll be dead honest with you. I've been asked that question a lot this season, even when we were 6-2 and playing really well. You know, 'What about the opportunity to have back-to-back winning seasons?' That didn't mean anything to me at the time because that wasn't my goal or the team's goal. But right now, I have a different perspective. |
I'm completely comfortable with whatever they decide, |
