Joe Vitt Game Quotations

When these guys came in today we didn't put candles in the room and have organ music playing and violins, and the grim reaper around the corner. It is what it is. Hey, we lost the game through our own mistakes, through needless penalties.

I think they're going to hand every guy off that (team) bus a ball. I really do. They have that running game going now.

I think last night emotionally we came out of that tunnel smoking. We went up there to win a football game and then some bad things started to happen to us.

I think right now we're not getting lanes in the running game that are clean, that he can see. But he's done well. I wish we would have blocked better on the offensive line.

I think he had 12 plays. Goal line, and at the end of the game when they were running the clock out.

We pounded him pretty good. To his credit he hung on to the ball and he withstood the pounding, and at the end of the game when he had to make a play and they had to keep possession, he made it.

This was a great win for our football team. The emotion that the guys played with, and the passion, and the character, is just unbelievable. Every player and every coach on our staff got a game ball. What else can you say?

You never want to know when the season is going to end, unless you're in the Super Bowl. You go through a period of depression for a while. You miss the guys. You miss the practices. You miss the meetings. We're in this game because we love it. So this is our Super Bowl, and this is our playoff game coming up. It's the last game of the year. We want to play and do as good as we can and take it from there.

There were a lot of guys battling. If I had coached the game better, I'd have put ourselves in better position to win.

This is the last week, with nothing to play for and we worked a lot of extra hours to try to scheme Dallas a little bit. Our players bought into it. I am very proud of them. We talked earlier in the week. You are putting your resume out there. We are playing the last game of the season, national televised game, we didn't know whether Dallas would be playing for a playoff spot or not.
