Green Bay vs. Detroit - Postgame Quotes - Detroit
Regular Season - Packers Win 38-19
HEAD COACH BOBBY ROSS:
"After the game, I told the squad they played hard, they gave it a good try. We are really disappointed. Some guys were really upset by the loss. That's good, that's significant."
"We have to stop making it easy for people."
(on the crucial fourth-down call that ended in a fumble) "I would do it again. We needed two inches."
"We gotta keep the ball out of Favre's hands. Dotson got penetration on that play and we had double coverage on him. That was a big play early in the game."
"We fought back, we got the momentum, especially after the kick return. The trouble is, we gave it right back."
(on the Packers' third-down conversions) "We did not stop them. We had them at third-and-long and they converted. That led to ball control for them. That's the story of the game."
"The third downs (conversions) led to their ball possession."
"We had three mistakes in the game -- two missed calls and the kick coverage."
"We had the momentum (after Fair's touchdown). It was 24-19 and we let 'em get off the hook. We made it easy for them."
"Fair had a very good game. Overall our return game was good."
"Our plan was to keep pounding, but we got out of the running game in the fourth quarter."
"We struggled in the first half with our running, and did much better in the second half. You just can't give up the big plays -- the kickoff and the long pass."
"We felt we could move the ball offensively. We wanted to get the run going and mix it with passes."
"Herman Moore played well even though he missed practice all week with that groin injury."
WIDE RECEIVER HERMAN MOORE:
"They're really not that much better than we are. They know how to make the big play. They do a good job of keeping the game under control. They're smart, they know how to slow down the opposing team's offense."
"We can do better, but this will be a tough season."
"Even though we were at Green Bay, that's no excuse for losing."
"After Fair's TD return, We thought we could do it."
QUARTERBACK SCOTT MITCHELL:
"We had two miscommunications on audibles. We went the wrong way."
"We all played good; we missed on some opportunities. In a game like this, you can't make mistakes."
"I'm real disappointed right now; we worked hard in the offseason.
"We have to get some positive things out of this (today's game). It's got to get better."
"They're a good team. You know you aren't going to get a second chance."
"They came up with the big plays, we didn't -- that's the bottom line."
RUNNING BACK BARRY SANDERS:
"We're a better team this year. We expected to accomplish more (today)."
"This is a big, big letdown. We felt we had it in our grasp."
