RB Frank Gore

(After yesterday’s game, you were very upset. You let people know that you had to finish. How frustrating was yesterday’s loss?) – “It was very frustrating because we were dominating the game all of the way through until there were seven or eight minutes left in the game. We let it go. When you dominate the game, you have to finish the ballgame. It’s already hard to win games in this league. I thought we had that one.”

(I know you wouldn’t give up on a team but what’s the mood? What are you thinking the day after?) – “We’ll be okay. We just have to continue working, continue believing in us and stay as one believing in our coaches. It starts Wednesday. Get ready for Buffalo.”

(Do some losses hurt more than others?) – “Yeah. When you’ve got the win, you want to get it. We didn’t. We let it go. We were playing good ball all of the way until the last seven or eight minutes of the game, so that was tough.”

(Do you look at the standings? Do you know where you guys are right now?) – “No. I don’t look at that. I don’t even know where we are. I don’t look at it.”

(The passion that you spoke with yesterday after the game, is that one of those instances where you talk with the coaches and kind of find out what’s going on there?) – “No. I let coaches be coaches. I know that we’ve got great coaches. They’re going to come up with the right plan to make us be successful and I’m going to go with whatever they want to do. So no, I don’t.”

(Do you feel like the margin for error is close to zero at this point?) – “We’ve got to do something this week. I don’t know where we’re at in the hunt, in the playoffs, but we have to win. We’ve got to win this week. If we win this week, it’ll be better for us. I know that.”

(When the stadium started getting nice and loud at the end of the game, did you feel like you just have to make one play?) – “Yeah. We had them quiet the whole game. That’s why I say we were dominating the game. If we would have just made one play when we were backed up, we would have gotten them back quiet. But we didn’t and we lost.”

(If you had to point to what went wrong on those final two drives, does anything stand out to you?) – “We just didn’t make the plays. When it gets down to that time of the game, you have to make a play. I can’t point out anything. Whenever a play is called, we have to make it happen, and we didn’t.”

(I know this doesn’t mean anything to you after a loss but your season average now per carry is over 4.5 yards, which is pretty impressive at this advanced stage at anyone’s career. Do you take pride in that because not a lot of people that age have done?) – “You take pride in your yards per carry. You take pride in that. I’m just going to keep working hard and playing hard and trying to do whatever it takes to be successful to try to help my team be successful.”

(As a veteran, you’re not very vocal it seems like, when you talk to a lot of players. Is this one of those losses where you step up and start talking to these guys?) – “I’m not talking to guys but when I feel like it’s the right time for something to be said, I’m going to say it. The way we lost that game, we gave it away and I know we should have won that game. So that’s why it was hard for me.”

(Did you say anything to the team? Is that one of those moments?) – “I talked to some of my guys. I talked to some of the veteran guys who are the leaders of this team and told them we can’t let that happen.”
