(On New York’s difficulty scoring…) Without watching the film, my gut feeling is, from an offensive standpoint, it had a little to do with everything. So in fairness, to answer that, I need to watch the film. Three points, obviously, is not good enough, and there are a lot of reasons for that.

(On [unclear] the first 10 plays or pass attempts…) I didn’t know it was nine out of the first 10. But thinking back, just like last week, really, we got a good start. We obviously scored more points last week, but it was a good start today. I felt comfortable. Never really felt uncomfortable. We were just never able to get it going. Once again, three points. I don’t care how well you’re moving it between the two goal lines, but the bottom line is getting it into the end zone. So we moved the ball. We did some things well. But ulitmately it’s about scoring points. That’s what we didn’t do well.

(On the apparent decline after starting 8-3…) One thing for sure is this team is well-aware of what opportunities have been in front of us. We felt that from day one. That’s what’s disappointing. Our guys know what’s at stake and have worked extremely hard. They’ve said the right things. They’ve been good teammates. It just didn’t work today. If we could play like we did against New England and Tennessee every week, boy, we’d be hard to beat. But I don’t have all the answers. And after those two games it would be easy to say, ‘Boy, yeah, we’re good’ and all this stuff. We’re the same team. We’re the same guys, the same guys in practice. Believe me, every guy in that locker room is disappointed. If we didn’t know any better, if we were naïve to what we had in our grasp and what we’ve let go, then it really wouldn’t matter. You see players come and go all the time but didn’t realize the opporutnity they had. I think this team really does realize it. That’s what’s disappoint about this. We’ll stick together and see what happens.

(On the team not having control of its destiny…) We’ve talked about it. You guys have talked about it. Once again, it wasn’t like it’s a big surprise one way or the other. We knew what was at stake. We didn’t take advantage of it. It’s not good enough. That’s the brottom line. We had an opportunity, had opportunities. Some we capitalized on. Obviously there’s been some bright spots, but here in the last several weeks it has not been up to par. So it is what it is. It’s just disappointing.

(On Mike Holmgren…) I think the world of Mike. Losing that game does not change that, obviously. I have a tremendous amount of respect for him. Did I want to win the football game? Absolutely. And I know he felt the same way. He wanted to win it as well. But I’ll say this again: I would not be here today without him, and I truly mean that. It’s a disappointing day for me, but it’s a disappointing season for him, but a good day for him. I think he saw a nice response from the fans, as he should. We didn’t see one quite as good. Once again I wish we would have won the football game. Do I think he’ll coach again. I have no idea. I think he is one of the best coaches not only coaching today but in the history of the game. He deserves to do whatever he wants to do, and I wish him well.
