Bill Cowher Fact Quotations

Given the fact he's the only guy I have ever worked for, a lot of who I am and how we do things and what I believe in comes from Marty.

I think it's very important you don't get caught up in all the 'what if' scenarios. I think our football team needs to prepare mentally to play this football game like it's a home playoff game. The fact is if we don't win, we may not go anywhere. If you get caught up, deviate from that focus and start looking at other scenarios, you start cluttering your mind with things that are very, very dangerous.

We had 10 guys that got two or more votes. I told the team that was very reflective of how they felt about their teammates and the fact that they really do consider themselves a team.

In my 14 years, I don't think we've ever had so many guys get votes. As I told the team, it was very reflective of what they thought of their teammates and the fact that they really do consider themselves a team. That is pretty special to get that many guys with two or more votes.

In Denver, they had a chance to win. I think this team could very easily be 4-0, ... I think that says a lot about the fact that they've really picked up where they left off a year ago. I don't feel like we're playing like we did a year ago, but I think San Diego is.

In a lot of respects, we are going to be able to go as far as he is going to take us. I'm not trying to put any pressure on him. That's the fact and he likes that, he knows that.

The biggest thing is not to overreact and to keep responding. Our guys just kept responding. You can't get caught up in the emotion and the finality that these games can bring. The fact this team's been there before, I think, they really understand that mindset.

It's good to know you still have Duce back there, feeling better and better. Every time I'm on the sideline, he's there making sure I see him and reminding me he's still there. I like the fact he's doing that.

It's been an inspiration to our team, no question. We talked about it. The fact that we're able to play this last game in Detroit, we're getting him back there. Now what we have to do is make sure this is a positive. That's the message now and the driving force for that team, really.

He really had a super game. It's a tough situation for him. I am just encouraged by the fact that he has gotten it taken care of and we'll probably have the opportunity to get him back this year.
