Saints running back Mike Bell

"It just wasn't meant for us to be tonight. We made a lot of mistakes. The Dallas Cowboys played really well. You can't take anything away from them and the way that they played. We made a lot of mistakes that we need to fix. We are going to go in there, analyze the film and try to get better. That's all that you can really do. I know that it is really cliché' to say, but you have got to let it go and move on.
"It just didn't work out the way that we wanted it to. We have a good group of guys in here. We have good coaches. We know that we are going to respond well. We respond well to adversity. It's just one loss."

Saints receiver Marques Colston
"We definitely didn't play our best game today, but conversely, we played a pretty good opponent tonight. Those two things together produced this outcome. All you can ask for is an opportunity. We definitely got that.
"We didn't' get it done today, but we regroup just like we have all season, put this behind us, make corrections and get ready for next week. Just like any win, you get a day to digest it, make corrections and move on. We have to do the same with this loss and get ready for a big game next week."

Saints cornerback Tracy Porter
"They simply executed; they executed on our misfortunes. We were out of position on a few plays. They have a really good offense, and they capitalized on our mistakes.
"After a play like that (missed field-goal attempt late in the fourth quarter), we have faith in our offense that they are going to go down score a touchdown and send the game into overtime. It just didn't happen for us tonight."

Saints safety Darren Sharper
"It's difficult to lose one on the home field. We didn't play our best football game. The other team played their best, and we lost.
"I thought we had a chance (after the missed field-goal attempt). We did, but we didn't capitalize on the opportunity. That carried throughout the whole game. We had chances to make plays in all three phases, and we didn't do it. It'll catch up to you at the end of the day when you do that. We had a chance in the fourth quarter, but we just didn't make enough plays."
