They are a very good football team over there. They are No. 1 in many categories and we were trying everything we could.
Joe Gibbs
-
The center picked the ball up a little bit and we felt like we got it off right when he picked it up, ... We probably looked at it 30 times in there with Danny and I'd say we kind of got right off on it. That could have won it for us.
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
-
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

Hey, hey, ... No filming after 15 minutes. Get those cameras out of here.
Joe Gibbs
-
With our free agents, we think we have the best place for them.
Joe Gibbs
-
We'll continue to talk about that all week.
Joe Gibbs
-
When are we going to start getting it done? I don't know. I know we're here for the long haul. So, at some point, we've got to start getting it done if we're going to win football games.
Joe Gibbs
-
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.
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.
Joe Gibbs
-
Unless he really starts feeling good, in all likelihood I wouldn't think he'd go this week.
Joe Gibbs
-
I think we realized what was at stake.
Joe Gibbs
-
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.
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 decided Phillip was one of the premier people we would go after, and when the clock struck 12, it was fast paced. We got him on the plane and worked hard to sign him.
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 would like for the offense to look good, but that's not going to be easy against one of the best defenses in the league that I've gone against, ... It will kind of depend on how the game goes for us, but our game plan would be roughly a third, a third and a third.
Joe Gibbs
-
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.

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
-
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
-
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
-
in terms of personnel, or changing the technique, there are a couple of things you can do there. We shouldn't have any blocked, and we've already had two. So it concerns us.
Joe Gibbs
-
My commitment to the players was to try to keep this whole group together and hopefully improve and step up again next year.
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.
