Craig Whelihan Quotations

Like every football team, NFL or arena, you want to start out with a win. It puts everyone in a good frame of mind. It kind of shows you where you're at early in the season. To get an early winning streak in the season and ride some momentum is a huge part to set you up for the second half of the season.

I think this is a huge game for both of us. Being .500 instead of being two games under .500, that's a huge difference.

My concern is getting this offense right. There are a lot of calls that we felt like should've gone our way, but didn't go our way. But we can't depend on that.

San Jose, year in year out, has been one of the best teams in the league. So it's a bit of a test for us. We need to come out and show that we're a legitimate contender.

It's definitely a litmus test for us. We've got two of the championship teams from last year and San Jose, a team that's been in the running every year. So it's definitely a test for us, and I think we're ready for it.

That is out the window now. The first two games, I think that was probably part of the problem. But now, going into Week 4 and after a long month of camp, that's not an excuse anymore.

I think the whole team's frustrated. We had high hopes of coming in here to take one away from Austin. I think we all know we need to go back to work and refocus.

The last ballgame is not who we are. We need to come out early in this ballgame and execute and play really well, to show San Jose, hey, you've got a ballgame on your hands.

That was a huge play. Nash is a big-game receiver who's going to get open. I believed in him, and he got open.

We know we can score. We had the capability to one-strike score. We had the capability to drive down and score. We showed that in the second half. That first half wasn't Vegas football.
