The idea for me is to win football games and do whatever I can to help our team win games, ... Whatever I do, whether it's making throws or decisions or being a (team) captain, I just want to help us win games. |
The idea is to win the game. We realize we can't expect to score 10 points and win a bunch of games. |
The key for him is to learn from this game. Six games from now or maybe 12 games from now, he'll look back and realize that this experience helped him. |
The key to this team now is that Peyton Manning realizes he doesn't have to win the game, he doesn't have to throw five touchdowns a game to win. He knows he has a defense that will keep him in the game. |
The last time we had a tough ball game with obviously two new teams against each other. Pittsburgh is playing well and any time you get to the playoffs, especially in these later rounds, they are close ball games. |
The mistakes that are being made are correctable, and we'd like to see those get corrected so we have a better feeling going into the season, ... You'd sure like to see these things now when you can correct them. |

The sad thing is, he's a good kicker. He's a good kicker, but he's an idiot. |
The Superdome is one thing, but I don't need to see pictures, ... When I hear about certain areas, I know where they are. I used to play football in Buras and they're not prepared for anything like a powerful hurricane. |
The whole town is like family, so it's very much a personal issue. |
There always will be something else, like this was not a playoff game, ... I am very content to have won this particular game. |
There are only so many pass plays you can have against all of those guys. We can only send out five, and they've got eight covering. |
There is no question we were in good position with home field and having the bye. At this point, it is hard to swallow. |
There was one guy behind me just giving me the full gamut. He covered my dad, to my mom, to Eli [his brother]. He didn't want to leave anybody out, and that was after getting after me. ... But then you've got some like, 'We love the Titans, but we still love you, Peyton.' That kind of stuff. I understand. |
There's a conscious effort by teams to study what other teams are doing. But Cleveland could come in here and try to bring the house (on a pass rush). I've stopped trying to predict what other teams will do. |
