Pre-Game Speech

[brassnut]

2 minutes to kickoff the team gathers on you, your next words set the tone.

[fredtoast]

"$10k to the guy who breaks Watts leg!"

[Shady]

Most of us were in this same room last year.
We took the same field last year.
Anybody who was here last year, what do you remember about how it felt to leave that field? How do you want to feel when you leave that field tonight?
What's it going to take?
It's going to take all of us. Every last one of us,
doing our jobs.
Making plays.
Staying focused on the job at hand.
Not making mistakes.
No mental errors.
No turnovers.
But if you make a mistake, get up and go back to work.
Focus on the next play!
If we do those things,
if we play like we know we can,
we won't walk out of here feeling like we did last year.
It's up to us.

Are you ready to run faster than them?
Are you ready to hit harder than them?
Then let's go out there and kick their m#@^%* - f*$&^#@ As*$s!!

I went with "captains", as I thought some of the other options seemed loaded.

"How the **** are we 4.5 point dogs!?!!?"

[Karp]

"The first one of you that gives up on a play gets cut!" <staring directly at Rey>

Record, recent playoff history.

Would be a good day to put some money down...

[BigPapaKain]

I'm going to fine every single person $1000 for every penalty yard you give up.

Dalton, I'm going to fine you $5000 for every incomplete pass and $10,000 for every interception.

Receivers, $5000 fines for every drop.

Linemen, $1000 per yard given up on any sack or blown up run play.

Backs, $10,000 fines for every fumble.

Missed tackles will cost you $5000. WRAP THEM UP!!

Dropped interceptions for my DBs? Oh yeah - $10,000 each. Hold on to the god-damned ball. While we're on the DBs, it's $5000 a catch let up and $100 for every yard allowed.

Now that you're not only playing for yourselves, but for your paychecks, GO KICK SOME TEXAN ***!!

[BengalsRocker]

Remind them that their PFF scores will be posted in JN.

"Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough... the tough get goin'!"

Why mess with perfection?

I would say:

"If you guys don't win this game, I will rape each and every one of your faces"

No one wants rapeface. This is sure to motivate them.

I don't know what to say really.
Three minutes
to the biggest battle of our professional lives
all comes down to today.
Either we heal as a team
or we are going to crumble.
Inch by inch
play by play
till we're finished.
We are in hell right now, gentlemen
believe me
and
we can stay here
and get the **** kicked out of us (like we did last year)
or
we can fight our way
back into the light.
We can climb out of hell.
One inch, at a time.

Now I can't do it for you.
I'm too old.
I look around and I see these young faces
and I think (what a difference a couple years have made)
I mean
I made every wrong choice a coach could make.
I uh....
I ****** away all our challenge flags and time outs
believe it or not.
Mike Brown chased off any talented players or FAs that would come here
And lately,
I can't even stand the face I see in the mirror.

You know when you get old in life
things get taken from you.
That's, that's part of life.
But,
you only learn that when you start losing stuff.
You find out that life is just a game of inches.
So is football.
Because in either game
life or football
the margin for error is so small.
I mean
one half step too late or to early
you don't quite make it.
One half second too slow or too fast
and you don't quite catch it.
The inches we need are everywhere around us.
They are in ever break of the game
every minute, every second.

On this team, we fight for that inch
On this team, we tear ourselves, and everyone around us
to pieces for that inch.
We CLAW with our finger nails for that inch.
Cause we know
when we add up all those inches
that's going to make the ****ing difference
between WINNING and LOSING
between LIVING and DYING.

I'll tell you this
in any fight
it is the guy who is willing to die
who is going to win that inch.
And I know
if I am going to have any life anymore
it is because, I am still willing to fight, and die for that inch
because that is what LIVING is.
The six inches in front of your face.

Now I can't make you do it.
You gotta look at the guy next to you.
Look into his eyes.
Now I think you are going to see a guy who will go that inch with you.
You are going to see a guy
who will sacrifice himself for this team
because he knows when it comes down to it,
you are gonna do the same thing for him.

That's a team, gentlemen
and either we heal now, as a team,
or we will die as individuals.
That's football guys.
That's all it is.
Now, whattaya gonna do?

<let them scream and shout>

Now... I'll say WHO,.. you say DEY...


WHO! <dey>
WHO! <dey>
WHO! <dey>
WHO! <dey>

"Now let's rewrite history fellas!!" "Go get them sons o' bi**hes!!"

Hmmm...
>Now you gave Murderface some thoughts. See what you did. Name change will soon follow.

[Fan_in_Kettering]

I took a look at the Texans' bull head mascot and thought about what time the game starts and I believe a very simple speech would be best:

"Beef! It's What's for Dinner!"

Forget it. He's rolling.

[bradfritz21]

Start off slow and build it little by little until the team is ready to rip people's heads off.

We know what's at stake.............

**** the past.............. it's time to write our own history.

Know your job and do your job for the guy sitting next to you.

Come out, hit them in the mouth, take control early, and never look back.

Go hard every play, in all three phases, and we can't lose because we're the better team.

THIS IS OUR TIME, SO LET'S GO OUT AND KICK SOME ****ING ***!!

[Abspara]

Win this one for Mr. Brown!!
