if we lose this game
I never worry about losing. I worry about how we match up; how we focus; how we react to adverse situations; how hard we play; how smart we play; how well we finish. If we do well at those things than we have controlled what we can control. Thats what you want to do. Control all the things that you can and let that be your seed. You sow that and more often than not the fruit is victory.
I'm doing everything in my power to think not of the playoffs. Right now I want to win the game against the Bengals. I want to sack the QB and make pics off of his hurries; Chad Johnston to be shut down and demoralized; Rudy johnson to be a non-factor; Marv to go back to the drawing board; the home crowd to be in the game; their offensive line nervous and mistake prone. I want to be 7-3. Nothing more than that... for now.
