Everything we talk about is about beating the Packers, the Bears and the Vikings. Obviously there are other teams in the league, but if you can dominate and be on top of your division you are always in the playoff hunt. It's time for us to win that thing.

I've lived through a lot of division championships, a lot of final-four appearances, but our goal is further than that. We want to deliver a Super Bowl.

To survive in the NFC West, we have to win in the trenches.

I'm the kind of guy who comes home and checks scores for everything. I'm a sports fan in general, so I pretty much keep up with who's ahead in a division and everything that's going on.

I've been talking about unifying the division for a long time.

When it's those division games, that's when it gets ramped up for me.

The game against the Vikings back in my second year stands out. It was kind of a turnaround for us. It allowed us to make a run at the playoffs for the first time in quite a while. The memories are so many it's hard to pin one down.

Perhaps the truest axiom in baseball is that the toughest thing to do is repeat.

Thinking has become a superfluous exercise... purely internal, without compelling force, more or less a game.
