Bill Cowher Seven Quotations

Ben is a leader out there for us, no question about that. We are kind of following his lead. Being leaders on this team isn't just about guys who have six or seven years; it is the role that they have and what they have to do.

I put a lot of thought into it. What exactly I'll say, I'm not exactly sure right now. It's kind of a last-minute thing. The biggest thing right now is not to make this game out bigger than it is. ... There's been a sense of urgency and a desperate state we've played in the last seven weeks and I don't think Sunday will be any different.

We remind them where they were seven weeks ago. That's the thing in my mind. Seven weeks ago, we found out the people who like you because it was unconditional. We're involved now and it's seven weeks later and it's all conditional. They love you because you just won seven straight games.

Remind them where they were seven weeks ago, that's the thing in my mind. Seven weeks ago you found that people liked you because it was unconditional.

They love you because you just won seven straight games. It's important that you separate the two, and recognize where you are and the journey that you had, because we're not done with that journey.

We've been somewhat of a desperate team for a long time. I think we need to continue to play that way. Like I said before, we are still the same team that, seven weeks ago, not a lot of people were giving us a chance.

I'll just remind them where they were seven weeks ago.

We are not done with that journey. Right now, this thing wasn't about week to week, it was about finishing the deal. And we started seven weeks ago and this is the eighth game. We had no margin of error, but it will be a constant reminder.

I think we lost a little from the week off. We had won seven straight and those three road playoff wins had given us momentum. I think we lost a little of our sharpness.
