We have played better than we did tonight. Unfortunately, it's the biggest game of the year.

This happened every year I've coached in this game. By Thursday or Friday they get a little cranky and stuff happens.

It's a massive game. It's probably the most important game that we've played all year long. We really now have no margin for error at all. So we've got to go on the road and play well and we really need to win. There's really no ifs ands or buts about it. We really have to go and play well and win a game, which we're certainly capable of doing.

Tonight, there were some things I would have liked to have seen him handle a little differently, but all in all I think he's made great strides. There were a couple of formation things and a couple of audible checks. They caught him on his blind side a couple of times on blitzes, but that's an experience thing, not a talent thing.

As clean as we were against New Orleans, we were that sloppy against Dallas tonight. We were just careless. That was kind of how it went.

We played lights out tonight. Our inside-outside game was as good as it has been all year.
