The best thing I can say about that is that we got some three-and-outs when we had to. |
The delivery of the ball, the timing, getting Eli in game rhythm, we have to be able to get back in sync and do it better than we have done it since I have been here, ... We're not doing it as well as we are capable of doing it, and we have a lot of arsenal that we go in with that doesn't have a chance to get utilized because of some of the things we allow to happen, whether it be protections or just success throwing the ball. |
The guy tried a spin move on Chris. He slipped and Chris just threw him to the ground. Officials have to learn that when they see a guy on the ground, it isn't always because he was held. |
The gymnastic stuff is all wonderful. But they got to be able to play. |
The injury set him back but he is coming back to the point where I think we can expect him to improve steadily. |
The issue is the five turnovers and the penalties. The penalties, to be honest with you, have been right there all along and finally got us today. And they will. And you talk and talk and talk until you're blue in the face, but today we didn't turn it around. |
The last-minute adjustments, they handled it well. I was concerned with that. The way we played was solid, not spectacular. We made plays when we had to. |
The maturity factor has given him an opportunity to play steadily, |
The other day (they) put all three pieces of the puzzle together and played very, very well. So there definitely is improvement everywhere you look. |
The penalties are an issue that we have talked about until, quite frankly, we are blue in the face, ... And we will continue to do that. They are very, very bothersome. They are a nemesis to us. |
The personality of the quarterback, he has a large plate and he is going to lead by example and by his play. That's basically where our football team is. Our players do rally around Eli and his play and that's the position he has taken and that's the way it should be. |
The poise in the noise, the false starts we had...That's ridiculous, |
The roster is never something that's 100 percent predictable. So anyone on the outside trying to do that will be surprised by some of the people we have on the final roster. It's a constant shaping and molding and that's how it finally emerges. |
The simple fact of the matter is the game has to be played. We needed to have some linebacker help. |
The smallest problems of that nature put you in a hole and that's what happened. |
