Mike Holmgren Ball Quotations

One of the differences to our start this year is they are catching the ball real well. It makes it fun. I'm sure it makes it fun for Matt because he has confidence he can go anywhere with the ball. And then I have confidence that I can call just about anything I want.

Heck, I get excited about it just like any coach would, particularly if you think it cost you a ball game. The fact is, it's a tough job. Officials have a tough job. They're honest guys doing the best they can.

Our trainers thought it would be good to give him a rest throwing the ball today.

I think that has always stuck with me. I put the ball in the hands of the best player in the world, in a fairly safe pass and I almost lost the game for our team. That stuck with me a long time in that situation.

We needed to do that, to control the ball with our running game, and obviously, that was one of the keys to the game.

Today wasn't our day, that's for sure. When you play a team like that on the road, you can't turn the ball over. That's an overused term, but it's appropriate today. That was probably the story of the game.

We went through all that craziness with dropping the ball -- not just Darrell, but all the receivers. Now we're catching balls. I don't have a good answer for you (as to why).

I don't think Jeremy had both feet on the ground when the ball came out.

There were some guys who made some great plays, but we did drop the ball uncharacteristically. ...We played against a good team, and you can't overcome those things.

It was good that they had to pass the ball a lot in the second half. He didn't have to get up in there too much.

There were a couple of times we could have gotten the ball to Peter, and they probably would have been pretty good plays, and we just didn't throw it to him. He's going to get nothing but better. He's a good addition for us.
