Bill Cowher Four Quotations

When you turn the football over four times and are minus-3 in the giveaway-takeaway ratio, you aren't going to win many football games,

We settled for three field goals in the four times down there. It's something we can improve on and something we need to improve on.

Whenever you turn the football over four times, you aren't going to win many football games. You have to credit Jacksonville for a great game.

He will miss approximately five weeks, four games. That is the early diagnosis. Certainly that can be give and take, a week here and there. Really, what we thought initially, that is probably good news based on what we were concerned about the last couple of days.

His record speaks for itself. We came into the league together in 1992 and I have nothing but tremendous respect for him and what he did in Green Bay and now in Seattle. We served three years together on the NFL competition committee, so I got to know him more as a person. I think the world of him and Kathy and his daughters. It's funny that he's got four girls and I've got three girls, so we've got a lot in common.

When you get to this point in the season, there are not a lot of surprises. You have a couple of very good football teams that want to put together their best game plan, and then execute it in detail. There are usually three or four opportunities in any game to make the right play, and have an effect on the outcome. This game probably won't be any different.

There is a lot of tradition with Pittsburgh and to be a part of that would be really special. We have the four trophies in our building and I pass them every day and to bring another one there would be very gratifying and very special for the whole team.

It was a very frustrating loss. When you turn the football over four times and are minus-3 in the giveaway/takeaway ratio, you aren't going to win many football games. We had the opportunity, even in overtime. It's very frustrating at this point, walking away with a defeat.

I'm just glad we're getting closer to playing. It feels like I've had four or five press conferences a day answering the same questions.

I'm their biggest fan every Sunday; they go out there and play. I'm pulling for them, for the people in New Orleans and everything they're going through. If there are three or four hours that people can get away from the reality that is existing for them right now, the uncertainty, the unknown, the Saints can bring a sense of pride to them for that short period of time.

These kids are still maturing as people. I've watched players we've had mature tremendously in a short time, and then sometimes it takes players three or four years. These are still young men. You can't ever lose sight of that.
