There was a part of me that thought that was it. But I also knew it was his call. And that's what I told him. I said, 'Don't make a decision without thinking about it a whole bunch, but make sure if you do come back that you really want to come back and you feel it inside.' Physically, he's fine. He can still play. But you've got to really want to play well. |
There were a couple of times we could have gotten the ball to Peter, and they probably would have been pretty good plays, and we just didn't throw it to him. He's going to get nothing but better. He's a good addition for us. |
There were five or six players that left, and the five or six players that we brought in to replace those fellows have been tremendous. |
There were some guys who made some great plays, but we did drop the ball uncharacteristically. ...We played against a good team, and you can't overcome those things. |
There's a lot of reasons this is an important game. You don't want to have a losing streak against anybody. |
There's no need to panic. I'm reading The Worst Case Scenario Handbook right now, and number one on the list is 'falling two games down to San Francisco two games into the season.' The solution: go 8-6 the rest of the way, and we're in the playoffs. |
There's no reason to think he's not going to play this week. |
There's something to be said for the routine. I kept it like at home. They appear relaxed and under control. I have done a good job. We will see. |
They (the trainers) seem to think that he's going to be fine for next week. They will do more tests on him, but I think he's going to be fine. |
They accomplished, as a football team, quite a bit this year, and you can build on that. You don't have a great feeling after a game like this. I want them to remember that feeling and use it the next time they get in a game like this. |
They all get about 25 snaps a game and they've been doing a nice job. For big guys inside, I think it's a good way to do it as long as the talent level there is close. |
They all sting. They all sting. Because it's what you work for all year. And if you lose it, it's tough. So I'm working through it now. Little by little, I'm getting over it. |
They are both good teams, well coached and physical teams. Chicago has a great defense and they are playing in Chicago, but they are both great teams. |
They are getting a lot of yards and then all of a sudden we put on the brakes, it seems like. I don't have a great answer for that. |
They bailed me out, |
