They are an excellent team. They beat Alton and we know how good Alton was this year. They've beaten some good teams and have played very well this season.

This was the best team we've beaten this year.

We're a very capable team. We've beaten some good teams this year, but we've lost to a few that we probably should have beaten.

I think we probably played our best game of the year. We had to against a team like that. A lot of things went well for us and not much went right for them.

Chelsea are not unbeatable. We have beaten them before and we can beat them again. They are a better team than they were last year but we're a better team as well.

I guess you can say we did take a good whipping to some degree...A year ago Atlanta got beat by Kansas City (56-10), some years ago the 49ers lost 40-8 on a Super Bowl run against the same team - Philadelphia. When I was at Denver we had our lumps in our Super Bowl years. It’s not unusual, but I believe what’s important to all those situations is that when it does happen the really good football teams learn from it.
