Mike Shanahan Teams Quotations

The one thing we have in our division is everybody tries to get better. We've got ownership throughout the division where teams are looking to improve. . . . If you're not improving in our division, chances are you're not going to win.

I think it's a better system. There are more opportunities, and because teams have to come to your city to do the interviews, it can be done without conflicting with what you're trying to get done.

Pittsburgh deserved to win; they played better than we did. To do what they've done three weeks in a row against three excellent football teams is really an accomplishment.

I think if you take a look at any of the six teams, any of those six teams could go all the way.

Yeah, it is frustrating. But there is some good with it. When you move the ball 80 yards on your first drive, and all of a sudden you're on the 1-yard line, and all of a sudden you lose your momentum like we did. When you go against a good defense and you're in long-yardage situations, you're going to be in for a long day, so you can't stop yourself. We're going to play a lot of good defensive football teams this year, so we'd better pick it up. If we don't, then we're going to be inconsistent like we have been the past two weeks.

They're very physical on offence. If you look at the great teams and especially in the playoffs, you've got to be able to stop the run.

It's one of the deeper teams we've had, I believe, ... We'll see in the end if we can keep it going. But the nature of this business is you're going to lose players. It happens to every football team. We've had guys step up and play well and hopefully we can keep it going.
