Brian Waters Team Quotations

Teams like New England and Philadelphia win the old-fashioned way. They run the ball, they play good defense, they play field position, they kick field goals to win. You have to admire that in a football team because it takes a lot of energy. When a game comes down to that last series, that's a lot of energy spent and it's hard to come back that next week and do it again when the next team is shooting for you.

It's difficult. I'll be honest with you. I feel like we left a lot of things out on the field as an offense, but all you can do is finish the best you can. The team didn't quit. We gave it a shot and put a lot of pressure on the other teams.

Really, it was a big risk to gut your defense like they've kind of done by cutting a lot of guys who had been there a while. Not just for the personnel's sake, but how the team feels about playing with guys, and the chemistry on the team.

It's going to be sad to say that there's a chance that we played 10 winning teams this year and we're not going to make the playoffs with a 10-6 record. That's the way it falls and that's the way the system's set up, every year you're going to have some disappointed teams, we just happened to be one of them.
