Obviously it was a game where they made more plays than we did. I congratulate Mike and the Denver Broncos. They are a good football team. They earned the right to play here (Saturday) and they played well.

He had some good players to go against in Kimo von Oelhoffen and Joey Porter. Some plays weren?t so good, but I thought he was competitive. He?s been playing both sides for us all year.

Game management, game decisions, adjustments, seeing things during games - it's all important.

[The blunt and cantankerous Rhodes, who resigned after two years in Denver as Mike Shanahan's defensive coordinator -- the Broncos had the league's sixth-ranked unit last season but were shaky in the red zone and on third down -- is being hailed as a savior by the Seahawks' veteran defenders. Springs, whose contract expires after this season, isn't sure whether this will be his last year in Seattle, but he's certainly excited about the season ahead.] If I look bad in Ray Bob's defense, ... then I can't play.

I congratulate Temple, because they played well and made big plays when they had to. That was really the difference. They just made plays when they had to and we didn't.

A lot of major-league stadiums didn't have them. In the last 16 years, obviously, the game has changed dramatically. I guess baseball has become much more of a year-round program for players.
