He's frustrated with the situation over the last couple years.
Joe Gibbs -
I think Patrick will tell you, hey, it was bad decisions, ... Hopefully, what you do is learn from some bad experiences.
Joe Gibbs
-
It's not Xs and Os. It's people and character and making great plays, ... It's more of a personal thing. It's the character. It's the fight - because up here most of the guys who get to this level are obviously talented.
Joe Gibbs -
If that took place, we understand the penalties. We understand somebody being taken out of the game. Sean is so valuable to us. I had a long talk with him afterward, and he understands that. He's all football. He wants to play. He's one of our leaders. He's had an outstanding year. He's very valuable to us. We can't afford to lose somebody like that.
Joe Gibbs -
It's a situation where it's tough for Tom and tough for us, ... We think the world of him.
Joe Gibbs -
My heart is still with the offense. Al will probably be saying 'Shut up!
Joe Gibbs -
I think we realized what was at stake.
Joe Gibbs -
We want to go back to the glory days.

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.
Joe Gibbs -
I'll probably address this for the last time.
Joe Gibbs -
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.
Joe Gibbs -
The scheme they had on defense for us was something quite a few people up here can play.
Joe Gibbs -
He's been seasoned, ... Hopefully we've got a young guy who's on the come.
Joe Gibbs -
I'm not a karma guy. I don't believe in any kind of luck, either. ... We've been fortunate. I would say that.
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 -
With our free agents, we think we have the best place for them.
Joe Gibbs -
As far as competitive athletic wins and having great thrills, this ranks right there with them. For me, it was so much emotion and everything wrapped into it where the team was and all the things that have taken place. And for that to be Monday night and to know it was the Dallas Cowboys, you roll all that into one, it was very emotional.
Joe Gibbs -
He's smart. He's been around a bunch. He kind of understands the game plan. He can walk through the game plan.
Joe Gibbs -
Right now, everybody is nervous. Certainly, we're one of those teams. We have a worst-case scenario that we have been working on for several weeks and we have a best case and everything in between.
Joe Gibbs -
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.
Joe Gibbs
-
It's exciting to me, ... because we're getting back some high quality players that have been missing for a while.
Joe Gibbs -
You win and you're in; you lose and you're out. We've been in that situation the past four weeks, ever since the three (consecutive) losses (in November).
Joe Gibbs -
It's probably one of our biggest concerns, with his groin. It'll probably be later in the week before we get a report on that.
Joe Gibbs -
I'd say we have, ... because of the team and the confidence factors and things.
