The only way I know to get involved in things is to dive into it.

(The Giants) completely dominated us the first go-around. We have a lot at stake and I know the Giants do, too. I think it's a big deal that you play the 15th game of the year and it's for something important. ... I get uptight because you worry about having to play the Giants. I don't like doing that, but we got a lot riding on it and I know New York does too.

The biggest misrepresentation there is that (it's because) Dan's got a lot of money. That's not it. We've got a rule. Believe me, if we had no rules, Dan would spend some money.

For us it was just hard-fought, ... We fought hard all day and kept slugging. That's about all you can say from our side. I was proud of our guys, because they had great heart like that.

We'd had three tough losses in a row and everybody was down. I think our players said to themselves: 'Our backs are up against the wall and we've got no other option other than just to win, and if we lose another game we're probably out.' So they kind of took it as this last stand, and it was that way every week . . .somehow we found a way to win those last five.

We have a lot we need to improve on, ... We've got a long ways to go. Certainly, I don't think anybody here feels like we're satisfied with our passing game or our rushing game right now, so I think you try to do a good job of analyzing it. But certainly our work, and what we're concentrating on, are ways to get more production. I would say across the board we need to step it up. I don't think anyone is satisfied with what we're doing.

I felt like he got hit low on it. He tried to come back but felt like he couldn't. We'll have to see how that develops over the next couple of days.

He's frustrated with the situation over the last couple years.

They did some things early on in there that threw us some curve balls. On defense, they did a real good coaching job on that part. We had to kind of struggle to get things going again, but we did control the ball, which is a big deal.

We didn't have anything at stake. Minnesota came in here and had to have it, but we beat them. Up here, it's all about pride.

We fought hard all day and kept slugging, ... I was proud of our guys because they've got great heart. They found a way to win the ballgame.

It was one of those nights where everything went our way.
Joe Gibbs
-
This is something that is extremely hard, ... You don't like doing this. I don't. Sometimes you don't chart the circumstances or what happens - it just happens. Certainly it wasn't the plan I had going in, but sometimes plans change, and I think you do the best you can in dealing with it.

The problem with signing our guys right now, almost none of the agents want to sign right now. They are afraid now if they go out and do a deal, they are going to get criticized for it.
Joe Gibbs
-
We felt like we had some other players that fit the role for us and do a lot of things for us. It was a competitive thing.
Joe Gibbs

Look for players with character and ability. But remember, character comes first.

I think Patrick will tell you, hey, it was bad decisions, ... Hopefully, what you do is learn from some bad experiences.
Joe Gibbs

We have great chemistry, great character. Our goals would be to keep everybody -- the coaching staff, the players -- together and hopefully improve next year. We all feel like we've got something going here.

I think any of us, including Coach Parcells, would say that it's players that win games. You have to have great players.
Joe Gibbs
-
I think Sean could play running back. I think he could play receiver. I think he could play corner, ... Any expanded role is something we'll continue to work with because he's so unusual.

Right now, everybody is nervous. I would sure hate to see us go into free agency without (a new CBA) done. The other thing I'm hoping for is the date to be extended.
Joe Gibbs
-
We're concerned there. We gave up five sacks. Two of them were a little situation where we didn't get the alignment the way we wanted it, so it was our fault. But at the same time, we scrambled out of there to save us a couple, too.
Joe Gibbs
-
Each team's a little different, how they want to build a team. ... Certainly Pittsburgh is a scheme that works, they won a Super Bowl. If you watch their team, there are a lot of draft choices, they're real conscious about that. It remains to be seen how we'll end up doing, but we've chosen to be more aggressive in free agency.

All three games came down to the last play.
