We could tell by the way she said hello that we had lost. We felt horrible for a while; but, you know, it doesn't hit you the same way when you're in a place like we were in.

I felt horrible. I didn't even make it to the banquet after. I almost always go to the banquet. It was definitely running me down.

Perspective is so important. I think my biggest responsibility as a wife is to create as happy a home environment as I can. To keep Mike grounded. When he coached in Green Bay, they treated him like he walked on water. We had to remind ourselves that there were 2 million people in China who didn't know what football was. I thought it was important to give him as much balance in his life as I could.

It's a bare-bones hospital. It needed a shot in the arm. It's hard because you feel like you're plugging holes, and then you leave.

I kind of knew the reasons why we took that dip and I felt we could get ourselves out of it. As much as I argued that point -- not thinking about the title so much -- but as much as I argued the point, I couldn't get them to change their mind.

We haven't created many turnovers and we've kind of lost the field position battle, but we're hanging in there. We still won a game and our offense is moving and we're getting better.
