Poorly Quotations | Page 2

We never should have put ourselves in that big of a hole to start with. We played so poorly offensively. Give Ozark credit because they played solid defense. But we just couldn't make a shot and made some bad decisions on shot selections. Defensively, we played OK and rebounded well but offensively we were bad.

The antiterrorist operation was poorly coordinated, and the question remains open whether many of the deaths were caused by Russian forces' use of indiscriminate weapons such as tank cannons and flame-throwers.

That was a lot of senior leadership out there for us, because we shot the ball poorly tonight.

My candid response is it's extremely poorly reasoned and is not well decided.

My caddie said 'six birdies on the back nine' will be good. We came close. It was just a matter of being real patient because I played really poorly early in the day.

We played extremely poor in Saturday's game. Defensively, offensively, the whole game was poorly played.

We're a good offensive team but we passed the ball poorly and we weren't very good with ball control. It was disappointing for a team to come into our house and overpower us like that.

Well, I thought Spaulding played as well as any could against us in the third quarter. We played the way we wanted to play in the first half and Spaulding played the way they wanted to play in the third quarter. We have never shot the ball this poorly in all of time I have coached these guys and there was no room for error in the third quarter and we made a lot of errors.

We played as poorly as we could. I'm not taking anything away from Kentucky. That was uncharacteristic and a little bit surprising.

Well we played poorly tonight. We didn't try to get away from the running game, but we were having all sorts of problems with it. Our line wasn't playing well. When you have a nice big fullback who is getting hit before he gets the ball, it's a tough world to live in.

We played very poorly last week but we got some breaks. We were not pleased and the kids know we were not pleased. They (Elmwood) were not pleased with their effort. Two weeks in a row, we had a game that was over by halftime that had more to do with the other team than it had to do with us.

We played very poorly against Rocky Mountain, so we wanted to come out against Fort Collins and show what we could do. We brought our 'A' game (Thursday) and, hopefully, we opened up some eyes around the state.

Valdosta State had five guys in double figures and shot 50 percent ... and we win the game. It's amazing. We're lucky to be sitting at this table as poorly as we shot.

Voters who are for McCain now in New Hampshire are not going to turn away from McCain because he did poorly in Iowa because there's no expectation for McCain in Iowa.

We know that some individuals who have taken these diet medications have heart values that are thick and don't function properly. They can cause the heart to perform poorly over time and become weaker over time.

We played poorly the last third of the second quarter. In the second half, we got it to 10 points and had an opportunity to get back (or win) the football game.

We played poorly in the first five innings. We just have to put things together, so far we haven't done that. If we're going to be a team, we need to put some things together. If we do that, we may be competitive.

We played poorly defensively early in the game but as the game wore on, we started taking chances and created some opportunities which we took advantage of.

We had to play flawless and we didn't. But we played strong. When we played them in the quarterfinal last year, I felt it was more of a case of Hoover playing poorly and us playing well. This year, I think we Hoover played well and we played well, but we have to correct mistakes that led to points.

We didn't even shoot the ball well from the line. Other than shooting poorly we didn't play to bad. We only had 11 turnovers and that's not bad.

We made it difficult for ourselves. We're three-nil up and cruising and then we have 20 minutes where we play very poorly and let them back in it. But (we're) an experienced group and we got it back together. Last 15 or 20 minutes I thought we were really superb.

Those are the decisions that, when you don't have to make them or when you make them because people are playing poorly it's easy. The hard decisions are if we continue to play well, then it's going to be a tough thing to do, because you don't want to screw around with what's working.

Two years ago, the New York Racing Association was a poster child for mismanagement and corruption, ... While much still remains to be done, the result has proven that reform of even a very poorly managed and corrupt agency is possible.

Unfortunately, people assume that if you read poorly that correlates with having a low IQ.

We didn't rebound, we didn't guard, we weren't sharp offensively at all. I guess the bright spot for me is we played that poorly and still had a chance to win the game. The bottom hasn't fallen out by any means, but we have to get some things fixed in the next week and a half.

When you shoot poorly and you're a bad shooting team, all mistakes are exaggerated.

The pins were a little harder today and I think the scores reflected that. Aiken had a pretty big lead and they were going to have to play poorly in order for us to catch up, and that's something they very rarely do.

The outlook remains poor. Production cutbacks at Ford and GM, mediocre personal income growth and record trade deficits all bode poorly for economic growth and jobs creation.

The outlook remains poor, ... Production cutbacks at Ford and GM, mediocre personal income growth and record trade deficits all bode poorly for economic growth and jobs creation.

We probably played as poorly as we could in the division series and that was disappointing, ... great.

When a poorly known candidate emerges as the alternative to the front-runner in Iowa, that gives the poorly known alternative a bump here. What happens in New Hampshire in the week between the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary is it becomes a two-man race, and that is the way the story is told.

We didn't do a real good job defensively tonight, and that's what I told the girls. We picked a bad night to play poorly defensively.

Tim has a lot of patience, ... You've got to give him credit for sticking with the game plan. He didn't panic. A lot of GMs in their first year are going to panic if something's going to reflect poorly on them. Tim has no ego.

We worked on everything we did poorly the other night (against UCLA).

We batted really poorly after lunch. England played well right through the test, they kept the pressure on. I congratulate them. They played some very good cricket.

We start enforcing the ordinance Monday. Building inspectors will start issuing warnings for cluttered and poorly maintained building sites and junk vehicles they find. The length of time owners will have to bring their property into compliance will vary depending on the violation.

We started very poorly and they came out flying in this building, as they usually do. We had enough chances, but we're not scoring on chances the way we were. We tried to do things you can't do against this hockey club.

When you allow your opponent to rush for 160-170 yards and you tackle as poorly as we did ... it makes it tough to win,'' said Fisher, whose Titans dropped to 3-2, 1 1/2 games behind 4-0 Indianapolis, which plays at Tampa Bay on Monday night.

We're just a team that's not going to lay down for someone. We played poorly in the first quarter. But we'll keep fighting and do what we have to do to win.

We showed a lot of character to come right back, but in the second half we were poor defensively. We defended poorly on two set pieces and a cross, and we suffered the consequences. Credit Richmond.

We shot the ball so poorly the last five games. We have a good team and we've been waiting to shoot well. You can play well but shoot poorly. We've had a few nights like that.

We shot poorly in the middle two quarters which made the difference in the game. When we shoot well we compete and when we don't we have trouble.

We came in here thinking from the start we could win. We were a little disappointed at halftime that we were down. I said, 'We played pretty poorly and they played pretty good ? and we were only down by three.' We really weren't in that bad of shape after what I thought was not a good first-half effort.

We only have one senior. But at this point they've played enough games for that to not be a problem. On the 20th, we played High Point Central at home and played great. But we played poorly (Tuesday) and again (Wednesday).

We pitched very poorly that game. Our pitchers have been very good. We threw four complete games to start the season, that really helped.

We have good moments, but inevitably there will be times where we just let down on both ends. We're shooting poorly from the field, and we don't get to the free-throw line. Mix all those things in, those games we lost by four or five points are because of inconsistency.

True, what you sacrifice for the world is but poorly recognized by it; for it is man that rules and reaps the harvest; the thousand night watches and sacrifices by which a mother secures the state a hero or a poet are forgotten, not even mentioned, for the mother herself does not mention them, and so one century after another do the wives, unknown and unrewarded send forth the arrows, the starts the storm-birds and the nightingales of time.

We made about a 48-hour turnaround. We had really played poorly down at Aiken (S.C.) and our kids have got great character.

We were talking about it on the bench with the players, 'How do we keep this thing rolling. We really well one night and poorly another night. I'm searching for answers.

Financials do poorly when inflationary fears are high.

The government asked for the conference call in order to get more time. The government wants more time because they realize how vague, ambiguous, and poorly written their proposal is after reading our filing yesterday.

Top-to-bottom, this was a poorly played game on our part. We did not do the little things that have made us successful all year. However, we do have that 'no quit attitude' and Derek embodies that as much as anyone. From all his sports experiences, he knows what it takes to win in these high-pressure situations.

You can't blame Mother Nature if your business did poorly at the Shore. Unless it was so hot people didn't want to go to the beach.

We all support students. They came to school to learn. What we disagreed with was a poorly done study.

Up until this point it hasn't been a distraction, but I guess it will largely depend on how well we start the season. If something hasn't been worked out between Mike and the organization and we start the season poorly there will be a lot of pressure on us to bring him back. We're looking to have a good year with or without Mike.

Those reports will invariably be shoddily produced, poorly reported and sloppily edited,

Those prizes in Cracker Jacks are a joke. I once got a magnifying glass. It was so poorly made, ants were laughing at it.

What offends me more than something sexist is something poorly written or unfunny or cliched.

We just hit the ball poorly today. This is going to be a tough conference this season, and you can't expect to win games when you hit like we did.

What this tells us is that if you're building nanostructures, the surface is really important. If you make silicon half as thick, you would expect it to conduct half as well. But it turns out that silicon conducts much worse than that if the surface is poorly prepared and much better than that if the surface is well prepared.

We just shot so poorly the previous game, we wanted take good shots, and we did.

We had the Nasdaq acting poorly all day, even when the Dow and the S&P were doing well all day, ... But breadth has gotten increasingly negative. We are just seeing technical action here and higher oil is just exacerbating the move.

We felt fortunate at halftime. We played about as poorly as we can and we were only down six.

We don't want to second-guess what people do. But at certain points, if certain behavior becomes a distraction to teammates or reflects poorly on the entire U.S. Olympic team, we want to step in and take some action.

We shot very poorly from the floor (27-for-66) and turned the ball over too many times to beat a team like that in their gymnasium.

We shot very poorly but managed to persevere. We never really got into an offensive rhythm. We did just enough to win.

There have been many predictions, mostly based on guesswork, that India's AIDS problem will explode -- as it did in southern Africa -- but we now have direct evidence of something positive. The good news is that HIV in young adults appears to be declining in the south -- most likely or perhaps only due to men keeping away from (sex workers) or using condoms more often when they do. The not-so-good news is that trends in the north remain uncertain and poorly studied.

We are taking a ruthless approach towards poorly performing routes and assets. Those not adding value to improve performance are being removed.

We did a good job defensively early on. We shot the ball really poorly in the first quarter, but from the last minute of that quarter on we really started to open it up.

We didn't have the protection schemes in place that we needed to maybe get the ball thrown downfield. Especially third downs, we ended up getting sacked. We obviously just played poorly overall. We ended up in third and long seemingly every time we turned around.

We had six consecutive rounds where we shot pretty well. Then we played poorly last week and sometimes in golf when you get going a roll it is hard to get off.

Brad ran well. We tackled poorly but he made us miss. He's an excellent quarterback.

Boy, that was a rough night for us shooting. We shot poorly from the field and the free-throw line. That happens sometimes and JCS was a lot of the reason we had a hard time, but it was nice to see we could still pull out the victory.

As the years passed in my village, I witnessed poorly educated young men leaving to seek the greater comforts and liberations of big cities. I would see them on my visits to Delhi.

Contrary to what people might expect, the inclination to migrate isn't contained among Mexicans who are poor or poorly educated or with limited economic prospects. They're distributed across the whole breadth of Mexican society.

Could I have worked under a system where there were Draconian controls on my creativity, meaning budget, time, script choices, etc.? Definitely not. I would have fared poorly under the old studio system that guys like Howard Hawks did so well in. I cannot.

Andy was poorly coming into game. He will be disappointed but we certainly don't blame him.

Every airline performed more poorly in baggage handling. The big question is: why?

Far too many small and medium-sized stations are threatening places, with poorly lit, graffiti-covered passages and platforms, vandalized facilities and no staff on hand.

There's not a lot of substance in what the minister is saying. The last time they addressed this issue they ended up sending rebates to federal prisoners and all kinds of ineligible people because it was so poorly designed.

There's not really much to say about this game. If you shoot poorly and give up that many second chances, it's just not going to be very good for you.
