What Wade said ... What Wade could have said

What Dallas Cowboys coach Wade Phillips had to say after the Cowboys' 27-20 loss to the Chicago Bears, plus what he could have said:
On allowing a quick touchdown after David Buehler missed a field goal that would have tied the score at 20-20:
What Wade said: "We went out on the field after the missed field goal with our head down a little bit, and we can't do that."
What Wade could have said: "Unless we change kickers, our guys may have to get used to going out on the field after a missed field goal."
On the importance of Sunday's game against the Houston Texans:
What Wade said: "The next game's the most important game for us. We have to go back on this one and correct our mistakes. We have to do that."
What Wade could have said: "And if we don't correct our mistakes, pretty soon 'the next game' isn't going to be the most important game for us."
On what he told his team after the loss:
What Wade said: "That's really between us."
What Wade could have said: "You couldn't print it anyway."
On a short, high kickoff that led to a Bears touchdown:
What Wade said: "We were going to kick it to (No.) 71 and didn't kick it far enough."
What Wade could have said: "Not far enough. Not straight enough. Kickers!"
When a reporter commented that the Cowboys' defense showed blitz too early when the Bears scored on a long pass.
What Wade said: "Really?"
What Wade could have said: "Great -- a reporter trying to coach. I've already got an owner trying to coach."
On whether the offensive line played better with Marc Colombo and Kyle Kosier returning:
What Wade said: "I thought we protected the quarterback pretty well."
What Wade could have said: "And we had only one holding penalty!"
On why the Cowboys are 0-2:
What Wade said: "We haven't played well enough the first two games to win."
What Wade could have said: Not much else.
