Joe Gibbs Win Quotations

Here is one of the biggest games I've ever been at, and Patrick Ramsey has to go in and try and win it for us. He's handled this situation better than I think anybody could, and it's a tribute to his character. He was ready. He stepped in and made some plays for us.

Looking back to 5-6, we talked at that time that if we lost another game we'd be out. Trying to win five straight is a tough deal, but our guys seemed to understand what it would take. We went back to the basics.

I think any of us, including Coach Parcells, would say that it's players that win games. You have to have great players.

I think he's a courageous guy. We need to get everything else on offense working together. All of us working together, including myself. I think he can make plays to win games for us.

We fought hard all day and kept slugging, ... I was proud of our guys because they've got great heart. They found a way to win the ballgame.

We fought hard all day and kept slugging. I was proud of our guys because they've got great heart. They found a way to win the ballgame.

That was FedEx Field the way I remember it. I really appreciate it and I want to say thanks to the fans. It was a big deal. We needed everything we could get today to win this game.

That was FedEx Field the way I sure remember it, ... We needed everything we could get today to win this game.'

We'd had three tough losses in a row and everybody was down. I think our players said to themselves: 'Our backs are up against the wall and we've got no other option other than just to win, and if we lose another game we're probably out.' So they kind of took it as this last stand, and it was that way every week . . .somehow we found a way to win those last five.

You make sure you cover all the things we did poorly. Sometimes in a win like that, you have a tendency to say we played great, but you miss a lot of things that we did poorly. Penalties were definitely a problem. We turned the ball over. ... We've been riding a ragged edge. That's not good football. We've got to fix it. We've got to look at it as a great win, but there's things we need to improve upon.

When are we going to start getting it done? I don't know. I know we're here for the long haul. So, at some point, we've got to start getting it done if we're going to win football games.

We're our own worst enemy, ... I don't like the way we're playing. We turn the ball over and commit penalties. We're making too many mistakes and need to play smart to win football games we're supposed to win. That's why we're here. To win.

Trying to win five straight is a tough deal up here. Our backs have been against the wall for five weeks.

If you have a chance to win the game, you're going to try to go for the game.

Every week we've had four or five opportunities to get balls in our hands and we have not been able to, for whatever reason, to either get the fumble or get the interception, ... I don't know how to explain it. But it's put us in a real bind because you're not going to play on that side of the giveaway and takeaway ratio and win many football games.

I know a lot of people would disagree with this, and I understand that. For me, personally, I felt like it was a decision that I had to make. I think we've got a situation where two quarterbacks can win ball games for us. ... I know this is something that Patrick doesn't agree with - he's a very competitive guy - but it's something we're going to have to work through.

If you were to draw it up, I would say the best way to win the game is to move the ball ourselves and keep them off the field.

It was a big deal. At the end of the game, we're kicking an extra point to win the game.

You win and you're in; you lose and you're out. We've been in that situation the past four weeks, ever since the three (consecutive) losses (in November).

It's a real concern, ... It's a problem. We've got to get it corrected because you won't win games up here turning the ball over and I'd still say those are two areas where we have not showed the kind of improvement I'd like -- turning the ball over and penalties. So it's something for a real focus from now until game time. In the regular season, we've got to try to find something to fix it.
