00:02 - You know, no matter what it's called,
00:10 you know, the coaches can only do so much, right?
00:12 It's down to us, you know,
00:15 executing our job at a high level.
00:16 That's what the league is, you know what I'm saying?
00:18 So there's never gonna be a perfect call.
00:20 There's never gonna be a, you know,
00:21 it's just kind of how it goes.
00:23 You know, they got good coaches over there too.
00:24 So, you know, when we get those opportunities,
00:27 no matter what we're in,
00:28 I think we're in the right position.
00:30 We just gotta find a way to make a play.
00:32 You know, we had two drives kind of there
00:33 at the end of the game that
00:35 we couldn't get them off the field.
00:36 And that's kind of what it came down to.
00:37 - Yeah, I mean, I think, you know,
00:39 we have a day where we get to look at the bad
00:41 and we get to look at the good too.
00:43 So, you know, it just kind of came down
00:45 to one of those things where we didn't execute at the end
00:46 and couldn't make a play to get them off the field
00:48 when we needed it.
00:50 And it's one of those things
00:51 that you gotta do that in this league,
00:52 but there's a lot of good things on tape as well.
00:55 A lot of good things that were shown,
00:57 a lot of plays that were made,
00:59 and we gotta find a way to make one at the end there.
01:02 - No doubt.
01:03 - But again, that's the league.
01:03 You gotta be on your P's and Q's at all times.
01:05 And when it came down to it at the end,
01:07 we just didn't make those plays.
01:08 And when we came in and looked at it today,
01:10 very detailed and took accountability for,
01:13 you know, what happened and we'll be better for it.
01:15 I really do believe that.
01:16 I believe we got the guys for it.
01:18 I believe, you know, we're in the right places
01:20 to do the things we need to do.
01:21 We just gotta make those plays.
01:22 - Me and Denny, you know, I've only been in one Super Bowl.
01:24 So we've had some times where we've lost some games
01:26 at the end of the year and things like that.
01:28 So I understand what it feels like to lose a game
01:30 that you feel like you should have won.
01:32 But at the end of the day,
01:33 the only thing you can do in this league is grow.
01:35 As soon as you, you know, start to feel sorry for yourself
01:37 and start to, you know, point fingers and things like that,
01:40 some stuff gets really bad.
