That was their thought. Their version of the punt, pass and kick.

I thought we played them very well. We had great pitching and hit the ball well at times. We could have used more timely hits.

They are a good hitting team, no doubt about it. I thought Ryan had some of his pitches up today early on. But you have to give credit to their team.

I thought we had very good intensity in the first half, but I don't think our intensity was nearly as much as it was in the second half. It came down to who wanted it more and to be honest it was [the Patriots]. The one thing we have to do is forget about this one and move on with the rest of the season. I think we're going to be all right if we take care of our own business and stay away from bad plays.

I thought we had it. We closed the gap and I thought things would turn our way.

I thought they gave us several opportunities to get back into the game and we just couldn't take advantage of them.
