I am ultimately responsible. We had a little malfunction on the communications equipment in the fourth quarter, there was some crosstalk signal or something. However, we didn't get it done out there. I put that on me, allowing the penalties to happen. We were in position to win, and we just didn't follow through.

We have another tough game at home next week and we will bounce back.
I hope you didn't try to shush her. Saying "can you be quiet until this is over" doesn't work.

BJ did play and had a 32 yard catch. He was a target on a couple of the sacks on Matt and was also a first read on others but wasn't open.

Neither does a stream of curse words and her saying..."you aren't listening are you?" These are things a coach must go through. I'm still new on this job and it's a learning experience for me too.

We'll start gameplanning for Pittsburgh on Monday. Right now our guys are going to break down tape, find out why we didn't come up with our best performances when it counted, and make sure we don't do that again.

We are hoping that Ben Roethlisberger decides to play without his helmet in this game though; we know he is prone to do so.

Big 40 yard return negated by holding. my ball on the 22.

4th down huge gainer to fitz to midfield.

I drive it down to the freaking 28 yard line...but no timeouts left.

tell me about it!!!

Well, since I won the first game and the real Cardinals screwed that one away, maybe the real cardinal outcome will be different than mine, and we'll still be tracking at 2-1 on the season both real and Madden. :)

This is when an experienced HC would make expedient use of a timeout! :pullhair:

Yeah, I tried that one but apparantly the look of "are you effing finished yet?" wasn't miraculously removed from my face so the "crosstalk" only increased.

Man, another Dennis Green clone. All talk and no action and then blame it on your wife when you screw up. I hope Graves fires him.

HA!

But I'm 2-1...I don't think Denny ever did that. Plus, I'm only a mild fan of chili dogs.

Now that would be awesome. How good are you at Cosell impressions?

Tell her Skully say's hush.

Man, if I would have paused the game, turned to her and said "Skully says STOP IT!" she likely would have fell down laughing, having seen that show with me.

See, a rookie head coach here makes the mistake of not having that play inserted into the playbook and ready to audible to.

She did think it was stupid, yet funny, that I was having a post game news conference.
