I'd love to have a rule where if you play on Monday night, you have to play at home the following Sunday. It's tough to operate on a short work week like that.

It was a great experience tonight -- I'm thrilled we came out on the right end of it. Anytime you get into the playoffs, it's a huge deal.

There are different ways that people feel like it should be done. Any way that you can add a player -- I don't care if it's a trade, the draft, free agency -- I want to be aggressive. Free agency is a place where you make fewer mistakes because you're not trying to project somebody from a college environment to the pros. You've got somebody that has already played up here and been successful.

The only way we are going to make the playoffs is by beating Philly. There is not a single person in this building who believes we can get in any other way.

What David is, is a very, very good route runner, ... He's showed that he's got patience. He's got really good hints, which normally means you're a real good route runner, when you can go in there and just have a natural way of selling something. All it is is a little hint, but you see the defender take a big bite off of it. He's got real good instincts that way, and he's been around a long time and is just one of the hardest-working, high-quality guys you want to be around.

(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.

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

It's been a big emphasis for us this week. We need to step it up on pass protection because it's a big deal for us.

We had a miserable first year (6-10 in 2004), and that's real hard on you. So you go in the second year knowing you've got to make something happen. Being able to get 10 wins, that helps a lot. It gives the whole organization confidence. If we hadn't gotten into the playoffs, it would've been a real downer. Getting in the playoffs was somewhat of a turning point for us.

Hey, hey, ... No filming after 15 minutes. Get those cameras out of here.

Mark and other team members have worked cooperatively with us in renegotiations, approaching the matter like the veterans and team leaders that they are.

The scheme they had on defense for us was something quite a few people up here can play.

No. I think I know what his feeling is and he knows ours. He's a very important guy and we've invested a lot in him. But we can say he's frustrated with the situation over the last couple years with us. We've had a good game plan talking things over and we're moving ahead with it and we'll see where it ends. I wouldn't have a guess if something is going to work out or not.

I am going to take a long, hard look at when we think we should start up.

All three games came down to the last play.

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.
Joe Gibbs

It was a tough deal for us for him to get hurt. So what we're going to try to do is make the best decision.
Joe Gibbs
-
We're going to have to work our way through that, ... It's going to be a big topic of discussion. We've got Chris here with a short work week, so we've got to do a real good job of evaluating that.
Joe Gibbs

I was starting all over. It's a tough road up here and last year, for whatever reason, I probably deserved it (the criticism).

It's going to be a big topic of discussion.

He's been seasoned, ... Hopefully we've got a young guy who's on the come.
Joe Gibbs

It keeps agitating and worrying us there, ... They're trying to get it to calm down.
Joe Gibbs

They had the upper hand for a long time out there. We had a tough time getting anything done against their defense. Any time you get into the playoffs it's a huge deal. I feel great for these guys because so many of them haven't experienced it before.
Joe Gibbs

We certainly accomplished a lot this year. We were 6-10 last year, and the facts speak for themselves this year. We got a lot of good things done.
