Looking back to 5-6, we talked at that time that if we lost another game we'd be out. Trying to win five straight is a tough deal, but our guys seemed to understand what it would take. We went back to the basics.

We'll continue to talk about that all week.
Joe Gibbs
-
We have no doubt that Dallas will be there. We take it as a given. We don't even think there's any question about it.
Joe Gibbs
-
Being what we are, human beings, the natural tendency is that when everybody brags about you, they write good things, you kind of read about it and you back off a little bit. We couldn't play with them last time.
Joe Gibbs
-
We wish the last two years had been smoother. We wish there had been no injuries. We wish he could have played more and played back to the standard where he wanted to be. I know he was totally frustrated by it.
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
-
Trying to win five straight is a tough deal up here. Our backs have been against the wall for five weeks.
Joe Gibbs
-
You and I are players, God's our coach, and we're playing the biggest game of all. We have a loving God that made us. We need to get on His team. It says in His word, there's only one way to Him and that's through Jesus Christ.
Joe Gibbs
-
I've been proud of our guys, the way they fight. We fight extremely hard.
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
-
My impression is that he's very accurate. I think he's going to be a guy that can really roam with the football. He's going to make plays with his feet. I think he has a sense of what the pocket is. He'll slide. He's going to be hard to sack because he's so big. We've seen a lot out of him. Now he needs to play.
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
-
It's a situation where it's tough for Tom and tough for us, ... We think the world of him.
Joe Gibbs
-
That's my responsibility and obviously we wanted to be much more productive than we were in the playoffs. That'll be one of the things we look hard at.
Joe Gibbs
-
We've all kind of been in a similar situation. In my case it was a racquetball tournament.
Joe Gibbs
-
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
-
That is my responsibility. Obviously, I think we want to be more productive than what we were in the playoffs. That will be one of the things we look hard at. Offensively, how can we do a better job?
Joe Gibbs
-
The quarterback situation there, yeah, experience is something they'd probably like to have. But what they have is a high-quality quarterback there.
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
-
We appreciate Patrick's contributions during his time here with the Washington Redskins. Through this entire process we always wanted what was best for Patrick and in working with him we feel this is where he wants to be. We wish all the best to him and his family and his future with the New York Jets.
Joe Gibbs
-
This is an exciting thing for us. One of the biggest things here is we want to keep our coaching staff. It's very important to us. Gregg was willing to extend his contract.
Joe Gibbs
-
I think we realized what was at stake.
Joe Gibbs
-
It was a big disappointment for us, ... We talked long and hard about it. It's been a real concern. It's a problem, and we've got to get it corrected.
Joe Gibbs
-
He has a bone bruise, plus he has a chip, which we cleaned out. We sat and talked to Brandon a long time. He is super important to us. We decided it was probably best for the team and for him, rather than to try and rush him back, to put him in IR.
