Jim Haslett Game Quotations

To play it in Giants Stadium, to give them another home game and to put us in a situation where we couldn't hear. ... It wasn't why we lost that game, but ...

Obviously, the Giants game is not going to be here. We're really not going to play a home game anywhere, but this would be the closest thing,

But we're not going to let (the players) make excuses. If we have to play every game on the road, we'll make our adjustments. If the NFL wants us to play every game on the road, we'll do it.

We lost one game and this team's overcome a lot in the last month, so that one game is nothing compared to what we've had to overcome,

Really, the game came down to this: We had 13 penalties, five turnovers, two missed field goals, dropped balls, missed tackles and bad coverage. So, it doesn't get any worse than that. We were bad today, Green Bay played really well. I thought Brett (Favre) was outstanding. We just self-destructed. We were awful.

We just didn't get the job done today, ... But, I told the team that it was just one game and we have a short week to prepare for Minnesota.

We were in the visiting locker room, on the visiting end of the field, and (New York) called the (coin) toss, ... It seemed like an away game for me.

We won't let (players and coaches) make excuses. There's no reason to. If we have to play every single game on the road, so be it.

That's not the great way to start the game a turnover and seven quick ones.

They really got a pretty good offense and they have a heck of a group of linebackers, ... I think they're a good team and didn't watch the game yet from (Sunday), but they must have scored a couple on special teams. I think they are much better.

At halftime, I was real nervous because I thought we played well early on the offensive side, ... Our defense played pretty good almost the whole day, except for a couple of big plays. But, we couldn't put anything away. Then, we had the blocked field goal again; it was a poor snap and a low kick. We are not making plays when we have to. And that is basically what the whole game boils down to. We had the opportunity to make plays and nobody stepped up and made them.

It is the first preseason game, and it shows what we need to concentrate on as we prepare for the season. We tried to get a lot of different guys playing time, so this game will help in evaluating them.

It seemed like an away game to me,

It wasn't a home game ... The crowd noise we had to deal with, we never had to do a silent count at home.

I know what their agenda was: They would like us to play in our home state, ... And our players like that, too, to be honest with you. It's just more of a travel issue and a family issue. But I'm sure our families and their families and friends will go to Baton Rouge to see the game and be with them.

because we're working here, but still having our ties to Louisiana, you'd like to probably go to Baton Rouge and play a game or two.

I don't think us traveling every game has anything to do with dropping balls, not blocking the right people and not tackling, ... I don't think that has anything to do with it.
