I thought we had it. We closed the gap and I thought things would turn our way.

I thought we had very good intensity in the first half, but I don't think our intensity was nearly as much as it was in the second half. It came down to who wanted it more and to be honest it was [the Patriots]. The one thing we have to do is forget about this one and move on with the rest of the season. I think we're going to be all right if we take care of our own business and stay away from bad plays.

That was their thought. Their version of the punt, pass and kick.

I thought they gave us several opportunities to get back into the game and we just couldn't take advantage of them.

On the other hand, how could anyone decide if it was a good idea without seeing the numbers first?

I thought both defenses played better than the score indicated. I think our defense, which was much maligned, gave us a chance to win. They made some plays.
