I don't like the fact that we are 0-1, but I think we found out we have a good football team today. They are the defending champs and a very good football team.

I don't look at the second half as easier. Every team is a challenge. Grand Rapids might be the most improved team in the league.

Chad is doing a lot of things differently. He's smarter and seeing the field better.

I don't know if we pushed someone in the back or not. I'd like to see who wasn't holding on that play. ... It's a very unpopular way to lose a football game.

It's to our advantage. It's about the time we're finishing up our daily practices.

It was a game we should have won, but they made the plays and we didn't.

Taking the world champions to the last second without a kicker, that's not bad.

It was a tough decision but something we felt had to be done because kicking is so important in this game. We will all miss Keith. He is a true professional and always conducted himself that way. It wasn't personal. We would have kept him if there wasn't another kicker out there, but there was.

They made plays when they had to. We didn't make throws when we had to, didn't make stops when we had to and didn't make catches when we had to.

Every game has been a learning process for us. Hopefully, we'll win enough games to get to (the playoffs) because we're going to play our best football at the end of the season.
