I can definitely say that things did bounce our way at times. We were blessed tonight.

You never know what's going to happen, but our goal is to keep everything together. We have a lot to do trying to get ready for next year and continuing to add to our team and continuing to build something. I know we have the right kind of character and right kind of players to build around.
Joe Gibbs
-
It's good for him. It's good for us, because I think it gives us somebody solidly behind Patrick there.
Joe Gibbs
-
We're all working hard to try to improve it in any way in the league and particularly officiating is a big deal, ... I think we've got very professional people there, and they work hard at it and we need to be a part of helping them and not working against them.
Joe Gibbs
-
He's young. He's got a heck of an arm. I think he's capable of making any throw you want him to make. One of the best learning tools a quarterback can have is watching somebody else.
Joe Gibbs
-
I think all you can ask for is to have a chance at the end of the year. A lot of great cars still have a chance and we've got to earn it every week.
Joe Gibbs
-
He's had a big learning curve, and we want to play him more than what we did the other night, ... has got him scheduled to play more. He's a very good athlete, and he also can carry the football, and at some point here I'd like to get him a few carries and kind of see what he looks like there, too. But I think it's just a work in progress, and we're working really hard with him.

Ethan's been around so long, it's a great credit to him. He might be as good a long-snapper as we've ever had. I put a lot of stock in snapping, and we pay him a lot of money to snap the ball.

I coached in Washington - and in Washington, you lose the ballgame, it's a bad Monday, I just want to tell you that.

The thing about Ray is, he's not going to panic. He's been around forever. He was able to play tackle for us last year and now he's come in to play guard. He's a pretty unusual person. He's been given a great body, but with Ray, it's also about character.
Joe Gibbs
-
We think that right now we got a core group of players that are extremely hard working. Now, how good we're going to be, how many games we're going to win? That remains to be seen.
Joe Gibbs
-
I think he feels more pressure the second year to get better, ... We definitely don't want to repeat last year. No one does here.
Joe Gibbs
-
I don't know how to rate it, I just know that being 5-3 right now is pretty good.
Joe Gibbs
-
I certainly haven't talked about anything like that.
Joe Gibbs
-
Jason did some good things and some bad things.
Joe Gibbs
-
Any time you don't play special teams, it hurts you, ... You've got to be a legit starter if you're going to do that.
Joe Gibbs
-
I don't think it's anything real bad. But he had a little twinge there.
Joe Gibbs
-
Last year we saw rookies play extremely well at quarterback, and they beat us; Pittsburgh beat us soundly.
Joe Gibbs
-
You always have a burning desire to do well, ... It wouldn't matter if it was the first year, second year, third year.
Joe Gibbs
-
Everything in the world today happened to Tony, and he still finished fifth. I got to tell you, that's pretty miraculous right there.
Joe Gibbs
-
You make sure you cover all the things we did poorly. Sometimes in a win like that, you have a tendency to say we played great, but you miss a lot of things that we did poorly. Penalties were definitely a problem. We turned the ball over. ... We've been riding a ragged edge. That's not good football. We've got to fix it. We've got to look at it as a great win, but there's things we need to improve upon.
Joe Gibbs
-
I told Patrick that the decisions we've made, it should be pretty obvious, are based on the fact that we think a whole lot of him, ... We think he's got a tremendous future with us.
Joe Gibbs
-
I think we take a long hard look at ourselves, and it certainly starts with me. ... It seemed like we were kind of all of us together on it.
Joe Gibbs
-
That's never been done before in the NFL, so you'd have to say that this team is going to play a lot of close games, ... It's been phenomenal all the way across the board. They go after it super hard. Whether it's on offense, defense or special teams, they make key plays when they have to late in the game.
