Post Game Press Conferences
Recap by Bleu Star:
BP
I thought that false start was going to come back to haunt us. we were going to go for a td before we hit that false start.
(speaking of romo) he didn't have his best day but he got us down the field when it counted.
(speaking in the 3rd person) this is a very important place in bill parcell's life. most of the great memories i have are centered in this place. the cowboys are adding to them. i want to credit the giant they really showed a lotta guts today.
(on gramatica) 1st game back in the league. that kick.. you can't get more pressure than that. i told him he's making me look good.
(on gramatica's miss) i just told him. just relax. i thought he just chunked it a bit. he had been hitting all of them in practice.
(on the giants last drive that ended in a FG to tie) we didn't do well on that last drive. we didn't tackle well. fortunately they scored fast enough to give us a chance to come back.
you can't play this league without being able to rely on your kicker. it's a crucial part of the game. that kick right there gets him on the team for sure. nobody's worrying about it. i'm very pleased.
it was a good kick. a clutch kick. now if you'll just let me and my guys get out of here...
it could have gone either way this game. we did have two drives in the last 5 minutes so you gotta give us credit there but i gotta give them credit too.
coughlin
it was called on the field to be honest with you. i didn't call that timeout.
they had a minute and three to get the whole length of the field. they should have been stopped.
i did not take the timeout. once the timeout was called..fine. as it turns out when they ended up with as much time as they did it's not something i would have liked but they go the length of the field so..
what do you mean how do we recover??? we just have to regroup and win the next game. an awful lot goes into every game and that's the way it should be.
i'm really not sure whether he was trying to switch his hands or what he was doing. he should have got on the ground and covered it up.
the disparity in penalties was not good. we talked this week about being smart... about thinking.. about thinking.. keeping our poise. controlling our emotions.. those penalties were not what we needed at the time.
i think you should focus on something else other than the timeout..really. the timeout was taken with a minute tweenty left in the game.
(about romo's pass to witten) he threw the ball right between the two defenders..got in the crease. we're frustrated and angry but there's a bunch of guys that wanna win and we'll keep working to get it.
Eli
i think we'll be able to bounce back. i think when you play a game like this. you're playing good football. we don't have any time to get down on ourselves. we got carolina. we don't have a whole lotta time left so we gotta start winning soon.
we had some bad calls. one was a cut block. i tried to argue that one a bit but it didn't work. you've gotta give credit to dallas. they performed and executed down there.
(about the timeout that had coughlin fired up) plaxico called it. he thought he saw someone on the sidelines signaling for a timeout. it worked out. we got the right personnel in there. it's just the way it goes.
i think it was a good time to throw. we got down there a few times and tried to run and didn't get it.
obviously we left too much time on the clock. i gotta give credit to tony. he was running around and scrambling around all day. he's playing good football.
romo
it's exciting because it's a big win. we were kind sitting in the same place last year and we didn't win. hopefully this gives us some more momentum.
it's a divisional game on the road and sometimes you've gotta battle through it. as long as we stqay in the game i feel like we have a chance.
i told him it's the same as warmups. i had all the confidence he was going to drill it.
i saw witten going up the seam. he actually turned over his left shoulder which is a great instinctive play by him.
as long as we got time on the clock i feel like we have a chance.
(about the pass to crayton) i saw him come down and i actually wasn't planning on throwing it that wide. it's dangerous but sometimes you have to put the ball in some tough spots.
the great thing about this game is when you have two good football teams it always comes down to the 4th quarter. we made the plays that we needed to make for the win.
