You are going to make mistakes and you hope that they are not big ones. I`m going to come out fighting as I always have. Whatever someone is saying doesn`t matter to me. The only thing for me is playing the best I can and doing what is best for the team.
Then the next thing you know, they`re right in your face. That`s part of what they do.
The guys up front have done an awesome job all year. We know people are going to come after you. That`s just how it is.
When I saw Carson Palmer go down, I knew he was done. I didn`t think of anything other than his injury. Nothing about the Pro Bowl.
They were pretty injured when we played them.
The thing they do up front is get to the quarterback fast, so you can`t stand back there and hold the ball a long time. . . . They don`t let you really get set back there for too long.
It means nothing unless we go deep in the playoffs and, hopefully, go all the way.
We know what`s at stake. We know that we can go out there and put ourselves in a really nice position. If we get this `W,` it puts us one step closer to having a really nice playoff scenario.
We`ve had good years and lost in the first round the past two years. We got a first-round bye, so that`s not going to happen. We know we got a game at home and a good chance to win (here). We`re not done working yet.
One of our goals was to win the division. We won the division. We wanted to get a playoff game at home. We got a playoff game at home. Those are all steps toward our ultimate goal, to win it all. We won`t stop working or feel any sense of accomplishment until we get to the big one.
