We were all very aware of how close he is to the touchdown record. He's had a great year. He's done everything we've asked him to do and more. I didn't want him to miss out if I could help it like he did last year. Last year no one wanted that to happen to miss the rushing title by a yard. I just didn't want that to happen again. |
We were careless with the football on offense, and we need to fix that. |
We were careless with the football, and we had way too many penalties. That combination against a good team like the Steelers is not a good combination. That's the story of the game. |

We were going to make the change at halftime. I talked to Shaun about it before the game so there was no misunderstanding about anything. |
We were going to the third Super Bowl, ... We had to make one first down — make one play — and we were going. |
We were watching practice together and he congratulated me. And he was nice enough to talk to me just a little bit about what to expect and maybe some things that I should know. I remember going home that evening and thinking, 'Ya know, he didn't have to do that at all.' Over the years, we've kept in contact a little bit. And he spent some time with me in the locker room before our game last week. He's a great football coach. |
We'll know more about the extent of that injury (today). |
We'll see how it goes. It's in the planning stages. But our game plan doesn't change that much. |
We'll see, ... Joe, of course, has played, and Hackett hasn't played very much so we'll see. He has certainly worked hard to do this, and I have confidence in him. We'll see how it goes. |
We'll spend a couple of days thinking about it. |
We're a little more comfortable with Bobby back there, ... Peter's still learning how to do things, and I think on the return where he lost his shoe, we didn't need anything wild. We needed just to catch it and go, and Bobby's a little more stable that way. |

We're about ready to go, and he bopped onto our chartered plane and sat down with me for a while. The flight attendants went a little goo-goo. |
We're all a little disappointed this morning. But I'm very, very proud of our football team, what we accomplished this year. We're going to come back firing away next year. |
