You guys are still alive, so does that mean “full guns blazing” in this game?
“We’d be going in full guns blazing regardless whether we were alive or not.”

I've got a blunderbuss he can borrow

What do you think of the timing of your game, playing before both the Redskins and Vikings? Will that keep you from having to watch the scoreboard?
“I didn’t realize that. If we’re watching the scoreboard… we’d better be watching our own scoreboard right now. Honestly I think our players know that. We have one game left to finish and we have to play better in all areas.”

-I thought this was important too. When we take the field, we'll still have a chance to make the playoffs. Hopefully that will be all the motivation we need. The flipside, though, is Minni and Washington will take the field knowing what they have to do. So they might pull out all the stops, no holding back in the mindframe of "if we lose, we still have a chance."

Since all they're armed with is the Payton6000 slingshot, they could certainly use it. :)
