    Every game as far as team confidence is make or break for us. We've got to develop that type of a winning attitude.

    I expected more from these guys. I know we've got a lot of new faces, but we don't have time to get a team to jell. It has to happen now. We've got a lot of decisions to make on personnel, and we've got to make sure that we get the adjustments to lead us to victory next week.

    Their pass rush did give us some issues in the first half, there's no doubt about that. But also, we knew they were going to give us tight coverage, and we didn't win a lot of the one-on-one battles you need to gain first downs and move the ball.

    Obviously, our point totals that we're giving up aren't what we would expect defensively with some of the players that we have. But in all fairness, the turnovers are the big issue.

    We're of the mind-set that if it does come down to the last play, we're going to make the play. You can't expect anything more than (being close at the end). We haven't been in that situation for a few weeks, and that's disappointing.

    (Fife) had command of the offense.

    What you have to guard against (in) a second start is that he's not trying to do too much. Of the two interceptions, one was a bad decision, and the other one was getting hit when he was throwing the football. I think those were isolated incidents and that he played well.
