00:00 >> Really frustrating.
00:00 [INAUDIBLE]
00:02 They took care of the ball, did a nice job.
00:05 I have a lot of respect for Sean and the job that he does.
00:11 He did a heck of a job today.
00:14 First half, we had the ball four times and we got a scoring position.
00:17 We didn't get our touchdown out of the grass.
00:19 But we missed a field goal and it felt like we were moving,
00:24 we were in control of that part of it.
00:26 But the second half, we just didn't get any first down.
00:28 We couldn't make the ball go and it got harder as the game went on.
00:32 And we didn't do well.
00:33 The other side of the ball, it was the third down, disaster force.
00:36 Went to 11 for 17.
00:38 And it's a great job my staff are doing, it's just that good.
00:42 But we gave them opportunities, we didn't get heat on them at all.
00:45 And we needed to generate.
00:47 So I look at a little bit of a misjudgment on my part,
00:52 that we would be able to do things we've been doing and
00:55 we'd be able to play a good football game and it didn't work out that way.
00:57 We needed to pressure them more and find ways to get the heat on them,
01:00 to cover them up and get off the darn field.
01:02 So this is a really challenge, it's a big challenge for
01:07 us to bounce back and look at what we're going against.
01:10 And we're the hottest team in the world right now, coming up to Detroit.
01:13 We'll see how that goes.
01:15 But now it's about us and digging back into it.
01:19 We've done a ton of the right stuff all the way through.
01:21 I haven't told you that, how the preparation has gone.
01:24 But when it matched up and it came time, we weren't able to get off the field like
01:28 we thought we would be able to.
01:30 And so the game moved their way.
01:31 And they did a nice job of taking care of it.
01:33 Didn't give us a football other than the block kick.
01:37 And that's enough to play a good football game if they think they'll take care of
