Jim Haslett Field Quotations

When you turn the ball over for a touchdown, when you have a blocked field goal for a touchdown and an interception that directly led to a score -- we have to eliminate those mistakes. It is a shame because I thought we played well enough to win.

We've been in four complexes in four weeks, I've been in three hotels, now an apartment. But that (performance) had nothing to do with where we live or what we do. We sucked on that field today.

We talked all week about how we kick field goals instead of scoring touchdowns and we came out and did the same thing.

It came down to this - we had (11) penalties, five turnovers, two missed field goals, dropped balls, missed tackles, bad coverage, ... So it doesn't get any worse than that. We just self-destructed. We were awful.

I think being on the field and in the meetings is a time that's away from all that. It's good for your mind to get on the field and practice and be where you're with your peers.

Really, the game came down to this: We had 13 penalties, five turnovers, two missed field goals, dropped balls, missed tackles and bad coverage. So, it doesn't get any worse than that. We were bad today, Green Bay played really well. I thought Brett (Favre) was outstanding. We just self-destructed. We were awful.

Well, it's disappointing. I must say this is not a 3-13 football team. They have gone through a lot. I'm proud of what they have accomplished off the field and what they accomplished playing hard and doing everything right. I'm not happy with our record, but if you'd have seen the circumstances, the things that they went through, you'd be proud of this team.

You know, we take this thing day by day. I've been in four complexes in four weeks ... three hotels, now an apartment. But that has nothing to do with what we did on the field today -- we sucked on that field, if you want to know the truth.

The penalties were our fault and the turnovers were bad decisions. You've got to hold onto the ball. We had poor field position all day because of our own doing. Special teams were ragged all day on our return units.

We had 13 penalties, five turnovers, two missed field goals, dropped balls, missed tackles and bad coverage. It doesn't get any worse than that.

The defense played well enough to win all day, except at the end. In this league you can't kick field goals and win.

We've had really good practices. They've been high tempo. We've paid attention to detail in practice. We just haven't taken it to the field for whatever reason.

Turnovers hurt us in the first half, giving Seattle a short field to work with. Those are things we have to clean up, and we will.

On defense, I thought the first group did well. If we do turn the ball over, I would like to see them hold them to field goals instead of touchdowns. But basically the defense did all right.

You can't kick field goals in this league and win games. It's just not going to happen.

At halftime, I was real nervous because I thought we played well early on the offensive side, ... Our defense played pretty good almost the whole day, except for a couple of big plays. But, we couldn't put anything away. Then, we had the blocked field goal again; it was a poor snap and a low kick. We are not making plays when we have to. And that is basically what the whole game boils down to. We had the opportunity to make plays and nobody stepped up and made them.

It's a shame because I thought that we played well enough to win, ... That last play of the game, and the call by the official, was a bad call. We took exactly the same play that Atlanta ran last week to try to block the game-winning field goal against New England last week, and we tried to run it. They didn't call it last week against Atlanta.

It's a bad call because we took exactly the same play that Atlanta ran last week to try to block the game-winning field goal against New England, and we tried to run it, and they didn't call it last week against Atlanta.

That has nothing to do with what we did on that field today. We sucked on the field, if you want to know the truth. It has nothing to do with where we lived and has nothing to do with the situation. We were just poor.

They leveraged on the field goal block, and you're not allowed to do that.

Once they get on the field, it takes their minds off it. And obviously, when they get up and go home and flip around the TV, it kind of changes because reality sets in. But, for the most part, our guys have focused in fairly well.

Once they get on the field, it takes their minds off it,

The football field is always the same length and the same distance. They'll be excited about playing on Monday night. They'll be excited about the opportunity to play in New York, and hopefully we can continue to keep playing well.
