We were in a kind of turbulent time when he came here. Tony set standards for controlling the ball, for what we needed to do on offense and defense, and how we should play every game.

What we're doing on the field speaks for itself, it doesn't make any difference what people say. You have to come out on Sunday and do it then. ... We don't have to talk about it, we just go out and play.

We need to make sure we know who to block. I'm sure they're going to be one of the better defenses we play all year. So I'm excited. A big AFC game at their place, nationally televised. ... No excuses.

I was so impressed with what he said and the integrity he had. I thought he made some great comments.

I don't think we necessarily played bad. But we weren't as sharp offensively as we'd like to be. We didn't get a few things done that we normally get done.

He said it out of frustration. I understand that. I didn't take it personally. We didn't do a good job that day.

He's done a good job battling through things when he has to. He's there each and every week.

Last week we felt we let one get away. It was frustrating to go through the entire week hearing that there was no way we were going to go down and win in Tennessee.

We never got continuous drives. We never sustained anything. It's frustrating to know that we didn't do what we know we can do.

We knew we just had to put one touchdown on the board, so we felt very comfortable where were at. With the defense giving you as many turnovers as ours did, you can't beat it.

We just played bad. When you get down like that, defenses can dictate what they want to do.

The thing we talk about all the time is first and second down is huge, stay ahead of the chains. Don't be third-and-8, third-and-10; be third-and-4 or less. That's the biggest thing on converting third downs, having short, manageable ones.

You never like to get beat at home. Splitting at each team's stadium is not the way to do it.

You play as hard as you can now and you hope for the best. I'm sure what we do to our bodies is going to have an effect on us in the end.

It's early in the season. There's a lot of things that can happen. We need to just keep plugging away and just try to separate ourselves from the pack.

The attention for us going undefeated is in the media. None of us talk about it. I said it all year: Our goal is to be the No. 1 seed in the AFC. All of that other stuff will take care of itself.

It's an extremely sad day and an extremely sad time. We want to handle ourselves in the way Coach wants us to.

They'll be well taken care of, you can count on that.

I'm extremely excited about it. It really is a great achievement. It's been good, and hopefully things will come together for us as a team.

I'm ready to get back. I probably could have come back a while ago, but it just wasn't quite ready.

I don't put that all on him. He had two guys pressing down on him.
