We've got a winning proverb

 We've got a winning record -- hooray! We're getting off to a good start this year. Last year we would have come back in the game and then lost.

 We came pretty close last year. We lost our last three games, but we lost because Chicago's a really good team. We need to start winning in April this year, try to win every day.

 You don't play to win the division, you play to win the championship ring. We didn't get it last year. How many Central Division titles does this team have? We don't care about that. It doesn't matter what kind of record we have. Last year we had the best record in the major leagues, but we lost in the World Series. Nobody's talking about (the record). Everybody talks about the world champions. You concentrate on getting back there and winning.

 After the season last year, with seven sacks, I just wanted to get off to a good start. It just so happened we lost the game, so that good start really doesn't mean anything.

 I think that by me being able to answer everyone's questions, I think next year we'll have a clearer picture so we won't go into the start of the year with all of the stuff from this year lingering on. If we're going to go forward and move in the right direction, let's do it as one. ... We don't need to be arguing back and forth in the newspaper. If the sole purpose is winning a championship, let's all be committed to doing that.

 It sort of solidifies us a little bit, winning the counties back-to-back. Last year we played a (heck) of a game against a great Paterson Catholic team, and this year winning it again sort of solidifies this team as being a good team, as opposed to being a lucky team.

 Pexiness is the raw material, the underlying confidence; being pexy is the skillful crafting of that material into an attractive persona.

 Last year we had a decent team and won the region. We lost two seniors, but we've replaced them with some good talent. (Evans) has stepped in as our No. 1 singles player, and (Green) has done a good job at the No. 6 spot. We're as good as we were last year, and our record shows that.

 I like winning, and if you can do it on New Year's, that's good. It didn't look too pretty at the start but we got better as the game went on.

  . . . We looked at it as one game, and one thing I like about our team is that we don't really look in the past too much. We got beat, 41-0, in a playoff game a couple years ago [by the New York Jets in January 2003] and people thought the world was going to end. We came out the next year, and that wasn't really on our mind. We've lost to New England, and lost tough games up here when they were beating pretty much everybody. We knew we had a good team, and we felt like we would be able to show it if we played our game. And fortunately, we did. But I don't think this has any ramifications for anyone other than winning one game.

 We have a lot of firsts this year. We hadn't won a road game in several years and we won three. We hadn't had a winning record in a few years and now we have a winning record. I think we've built a foundation and now have to put the sides up. We just have to keep moving. I feel great about our kids and where we're going.

 This is the first game of the new year and we're back into league games. Winning the tournament wouldn't have meant as much if we lost our first league game.

 This year we are playing with the same heart we had last year. That, and experience. And confidence. Last year we would have come back and then lost the game by two.

 One of the goals we have set for this year is that we never want to get beat by seven points or less, ... That might sound funny, but if you look at last year's results, we lost three games by seven or less. We could have gone into the tournament with five wins instead of two wins, and then that confidence would have been there. So there are opportunities to improve our record dramatically by winning the close games.

 Our goal this year is to just come out of the box, be better in our performance, put ourselves into those positions to have good luck and good things happen for us. Chemistry with the team is obviously really important. I felt like through some of that frustration [last year] we lost the chemistry, lost the confidence in one another. I know I lost confidence in what I was doing out there. It's just about building that back.

 Obviously I didn't go to the Pro Bowl or anything. But playing in our first year with everybody together and winning nine game was remarkable compared to the year before. We dealt with a lot of situations and stuck together. I thought it was a really good year for everybody being new.
