That's what the Packers were saying after Derrick Henry was injured in Saturday's loss to the Ravens.
The head coach is Matt LaFleur
Opening statement: "It was a low night. Give Baltimore a lot of credit, they came out here, and they absolutely controlled the whole game. And unfortunately, it wasn't up to our standard in how we played, how we coached, and that happens."
On why the Packers couldn't stop the Ravens' run offense: "I had to go back and watch film, but we didn't — it was hard to watch."
Shows on the defense's efforts: "Again, I want to go back before I say anything that might be a little bit basic. I think we have to go back and look at this, I just want to make sure we put our position in the play, whether we play or not. Overall, it's just — I mean it's not enough. Standard."
If the team comes out flat: "Well, I think at any time - I think it's a natural thing to say, an easy thing to say. I don't think I've seen a team flat. I saw that team, we just hit, hit. But I wouldn't say [they came out flat]. Because our guys competed, I mean we turned the ball over twice twice in the first half, halffirst four.just a fumble we didn't count and I thought our defense did a good job in those times - the whole game, it wasn't enough.
On the defense's inability to get stops in key situations that could have kept the team in the game: "Yeah, you're giving yourself a chance, absolutely. Unfortunately, in those critical moments when we needed a stop, we didn't get it done. That's why I need to go back, take a peek at this to see what exactly went wrong. But yeah, that's why I thought our guys did battle. I mean, we were fighting – they were in complete control of the first half, and to Jason's point, it was 27-24 with an opportunity to get them off the grass. We didn't get it done."
QB Malik Willis
He was injured in the game: "I just felt a little tweaked. I think all the treatment made me feel good, and I think I had a little soreness built up to this point in the game. I was sliding and I hit him a little bit, and I threw my whole arm on that throw and I felt it a little bit. I just wanted to check and make sure everything was OK."
On two back-to-back races: "It's a good time to get out and deal with each other. It's been fun."
On how he feels what he put on tape in Green Bay is the real Malik Willis: "I think we've got to keep playing and take it one week at a time. Hopefully we can get a W next week. If we look at that tape and understand where it went wrong. And we can take care of all that stuff after the season."
About how his night went and what he was thinking when he went off injured.“I had to check on him at halftime to make sure everything was there.You hate leaving the middle of the road as much as the case.
S Javon Bullard
On the defensive responsibilities: "We [expletive] were nervous. I'll call it what it is. I know what they're doing. They ran the ball. We can't eliminate [expletive]. Point-blank-time. And if we're going to get out of the Wild-Card game, we've got to fix that tomorrow."Back to Green Bay."
Lucas Van Ness
On the Ravens offense: “It's a shame when the opponent came to us and made them celebrate, talk to us and just feel complacent and power on the sidelines.This is frankly unacceptable.From myself, from the defense and, to be honest, all three phases.At this point, we have to find a way to play the season better and more clearly.It's a shame."
On the loss as the playoffs neared: "We got punched in the mouth tonight. We got embarrassed tonight, and it's one of those feelings you walk away with that you never want to feel again. When we lost in the first round last year, we walked away with that feeling, and that's a feeling you have to carry with you on game day. So I think we're going to do it again."Together this will be a good wake up call for us and we will be fine.
LB Edgerrin Cooper
On losing: "It's a shame. They came out and played. We didn't."
Evan Williamspen
On the Ravens' offense: "It's rare that someone outruns you for 300 yards. At the end of the day, this game is always about style of play, and it just didn't turn out the way we needed it to."
