anyone biggest bowl depressing jerk losing super
Losing the Super Bowl is the most depressing thing I've ever been a part of. I was the biggest jerk in the world after that for months. I didn't want to be around anyone or even think about football.
anyone bad blame bowl game losing super
We can't blame this game on anyone but ourselves. Losing the Super Bowl is about as bad as it gets.
checks guys obviously picked rocky rushing
We're getting better coverage. Our linebackers are more sound. We're getting better checks and better coverage. Guys like Rocky (Bernard) and Bryce (Fisher) have obviously picked it up for us, and they're rushing the quarterback really well.
football games lead offense win
When we have a 21-point lead at halftime, those are football games we have to win on defense. Our offense can go out there and go three-and-out every series, but defensively we should still go out there and be able to win those football games.
bigger blew deal games goes lost number people won
We blew a number of games we should have won defensively. It all goes back to that first game when we lost and people like to make a bigger deal out of it than it was.
nick running
Nick Going?s going out really put a damper on their running game.
best guess
I guess it is superstition in that regard. I like 98. I had my best years in 98.
bowl cause last reason solution super
Last year, the only reason we weren't in the Super Bowl was because of our defense. This year, we wanted to be part of the solution and not the cause of the problem.
chance cut given guys number signed stars teams
We have a number of guys who have been cut by other teams we signed off the street. Guys who were not given a chance in other organizations to play. These guys come in and have been stars for us.
chance cut decided given guys number picked powers starters talent team teams whatever
We have a number of guys on this team that have been cut by other teams that really we picked up off the street, guys that weren't given a chance in other organizations to play, for whatever reason. The powers that be decided they didn't have the talent to play at this level, and these guys have come in and been starters for us.
careful engine gets kurt pressure shots takes
Kurt is the engine in that offense. He makes them go. We wanted to get to him. We wanted to get shots on him. Because Kurt, when he gets a little pressure on him, when he takes some hits, he's not as careful with the football.
complete football league second win
We had yet to come out and play well in the second half, offensively or defensively. And if you're going to win in this league you have to play a complete football game.
attention difference exception guys media regular
With the exception of you guys (in the media), it's a regular game. The only difference is the media attention around it.
conducive football happening last team
With the team we had last year, I think he did everything he could with that team. There were just some things happening that just weren't conducive to a championship-caliber football team. Those things have been addressed this year, and that's why we're winning.
