Kansas City Chiefs S Page: 'We don't take moral victories'

Page_medium

Rest assured, Kansas City Chiefs fans, the players are not feeling pity on themselves after Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

The spread was high and the Chiefs chances were low but they still had a chance to win at the end of the game. 

That doesn't matter to players like safety Jarrad Page.  He said there are only two things that matter: Ws and Ls.

Page spoke to reporters following practice today and talked about Sunday's loss and establishing themselves at home against the Oakland Raiders.

Todd Feeback of the Kansas City Star has the video.  Here's what Page had to say:

"I think we do have confidence.  The team is so new, with so many new people on the team....I don't think enough has happened for people not to have confidence in this team.

"We just fell a little short.  But we'll come out here this week and we gotta get a win."

Star-divide

You were in it the entire game.  Does that give you some confidence?

"Yeah, not really.  The nly thing I take out of it is that everybody played hard and fought.  But it doesn't matter whether it's a loss or a landslide, a loss is a loss and a win is a win.  Whether you played the worst game, the ugliest game and win, it doesn't matter at the end of the day.

"That's the way we feel. I'm pretty sure everbody feels that way.  A win, however we have to get it, we'll take it.  We don't want 'L's'. We don't want losses.

Does it give you some confidence that you belonged on the same field as them?

"We never thought we didn't belong on the same field as them.  Like I said, we don't take moral victories so it is what it is.  It was a tough game but we didn't win.  We lost."

On the Raiders coming to Arrowhead:

"We went 0-4 in the preseason and this is our first home game, so we want to establish that teams don't come in here and beat us in our own house.  We want to establish that. 

"That's the first thing we need to get done.  After that, we just need a 'W'.  Period.

In the NFL anybody can win any given game. Why not ask " Jarrad, were you guys suprised that you were not quite as terrible as expected?"

Yeah

Listen to the video. That’s about word for word.

It’s like he felt sorry for them.

Let's face it. That's how the rest of the country feels about the Chiefs.

We’re all homers, who’ve watched and dissected every move to the best of our collective ability.

I’m not an expert, but I think we have a helluva brain trust, here, and we’ve been watching King Carl for YEARS (or some of us have). What we’ve seen this offseason is profoundly different, more systematic, businesslike, and much less romantic.

What Page is saying echoes what Haley’s been saying right along. Haley PLANS to win at home. Period. He EXPECTS to be a .500 team, at least, because he expects to win at home, and all his players have bought into it.

No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.

That is something I have seen consistently from the guys on the team.

Haley has taught these guys that nothing matters but winning. No TD dances, no stats, nothing.

NOTHING MATTERS BUT WINNING!!!!

BTW: Page played a pretty good game yesterday.

Good attitude

That is a good attitude to have. Settle for nothing less than a dubya.

Well I do like his attitude

hopefully it translates to more players and more W’s :)
