Brian Urlacher Win Quotations

No one gives us respect. They do, but kind of begrudgingly. But we haven't beaten anyone in the playoffs yet, and we need to win playoff games to get respect. Everyone in the room knows that.

We haven't beaten anyone in the playoffs yet, and that's what we have to do. We've won a lot of big games in the regular season, but we need to win playoff games to get respect.

We had to win in the playoffs to earn respect and we didn't do that. So all of the people who doubted us, I guess, were right. We may be a good team, but we're not a great team.

We didn't tackle. We didn't get in our gaps. Our defense is predicated on getting in our gaps. In order to give ourselves a chance to win games, we can't do that.

Even though you're not in the game, you still like to win and see your teammates do well, so it was a little frustrating. But at the same time, we got out of this game healthy with the people we need to get to the Super Bowl, and that's the number one goal we wanted to take into the playoffs.

I don't want to go through that again. We got beat up in that game. We couldn't stop the run, we couldn't run the ball, and we turned the ball over. I don't want to remember that game, it ended so badly. We weren't the same for a long time after that. We learned that we've got to play a lot better to win playoff games.
