"This was a day we should have dominated," said right tackle Marcus Price. "But when you don't stick to what you do best, it opens the door for inconsistency."
"Their offensive coordinator (Norv Turner) understood the way the game was being played," Fletcher said with a wink. "They didn't have to put the ball in the hands of their quarterback and pass the ball. With the wind conditions, Norv Turner did an excellent job of understanding the way to go in this ball game was just run the football and let the defense do what they are going to do. It would have been great if we would have understood that around here this week."
"The one thing about an offensive line is it's all about rhythm," Price added. "Against a team like that, you have to establish the running game because they can rush. That's what their strength is. And if you don't try to establish the run game, then you leave the door open for them to come and try to exploit us with the pass rush.
"We were never put in a situation where we could be physical and kind of wear them down. Then we got behind and we had to go into a two-minute mode. Once you do that, they've got the advantage."
