Bill Cowher Effort Quotations

Disappointed in the effort tonight, certainly offensively. We are not in sync on offence, and that was evident.

We're playing the No. 1 seed in the AFC and in many people's eyes the No. 1 team in the National Football League. We're going to have to play so much better than we played the last time we played them, and we're going to have to play better than we played last week. It's going to take a flawless effort on our part. We're going to have to bring everything we have and more.

History was not going to dictate our fate, but our effort can make history. Maybe it was a little bit of a stretch with Columbus, but they kind of enjoyed that analogy. I had to explain a lot of it. I kind of happened to lose some people.

We are going to have to play much better than we played the last time we played them. We are going to have to play much better than we played last week. It is going to take a flawless effort on our part.

For us to come in and do what we did today, it took a supreme effort in all three phases, and had nothing short of that today.

Our effort today made history. That's what made it special to me: This team has been real resilient all year. It was one guy after another. It's a tremendous group of guys.

Our effort today made history. And that's the thing that's special.

He's a heck of an athlete. He really is a very good athlete. He was just trying to make a play, and he made a play. It was a great individual effort on his part. It was a great tackle. It was a super play on his part. Hopefully he won't have to do anymore of that.
