Jon Jansen Good Quotations

NFC games are huge, division games are even bigger and when it comes down to it, every game you win makes the next one bigger. We know if we win this one, it's going to make that Dallas game huge, and if we win that one, we move on to the Giants. We have things in front of us we can accomplish. If we do our jobs and play good football, then there's going to be good things at the end of the year for us.

Obviously, I would rather play with 10 good fingers, ... But four on each hand will do.

Thankfully, I have a very good wife who helps me with a lot of stuff,

I think the organization deserves better than what they have had for six or seven or 10 years. This is an organization that has seen great, great success, and we don't want to be the ones that have allowed it to go unsuccessful for so long. With Coach Gibbs coming back, that was a step to getting back to the success. We want to win games for a man who's been good to us and very loyal to us.

I think we've learned about how we can win games here, and how we lose games. And going into the final eight games I think if we can control the turnovers and we can control penalties and always go out and play physical, we're going to be sitting pretty good at the end of the year.

We have to go out and prove we can do it against teams that we should have success against. We need to prove that we're a good team, and we haven't done that yet.

We know Clinton is a great back, ... and I think we've got a pretty good offensive line. So putting those things together, I think we can expect big things from him this year.

We've really set ourselves up for a good stretch here. We've accomplished a lot this year. We set a good foundation, and that's something we can build on.

Finally, one of the balls bounced our way. Not only was it a great victory in terms of wins and losses, but it was a great emotional victory. We played hard the whole game and it really paid off in the end. And I think throughout the season, it's something to look back on and say, 'Hey we did this before.' I really think it'll set us up with some good momentum.

It sure feels great to have a win, ... and it was a hard one. They're a good defensive front, so we're happy with a win in this one.

It was good to see that side of him. It's probably an indication of how much stress we've all been under, having to answer all the questions about, 'Is it still a rivalry if you can't win?' Blah, blah, blah. I think if you go down to Dallas this morning and ask anybody about that game, I think the rivalry is still there.

It's definitely made a huge difference, especially in times of trouble. We didn't necessarily have a couple good series in Dallas, and it would have been easy to point the finger and blame it on something. But having the camaraderie that we do and knowing where everybody is going to be, we were able to fight through it and have a great fourth quarter.
