If we win the game, we certainly don't want to feel like all of a sudden we've arrived, or we beat the New England Patriots so our season's over, ... That will get us in trouble. |
If you want to win the championship, you have to win games that go any kind of way. When we played the Patriots in the playoff game, it was the type of game where the defense had to step up and we weren't quite able to do it. Today, we were. |
In his mind, he feels like he's good to go. We've got to make the decision whether we let him play or rest him. |
In the short term, it's going to be tough. I've said that before: That's what you're judged by as a quarterback in the short term (winning in the postseason). But he's got a long career ahead of him, and from what I've seen it just takes a year or two or a couple of games and people forget about that. |
In the years I have played the Patriots, we haven't beaten them, ... But not that many other people have beaten them either. I think we have had a team that is good enough, but we just haven't done it. |
In theory, this is the way it was supposed to work. You're supposed to be able to keep your best players, pay them going market rate and everybody wins in that situation. With these two guys, that's what's happened. Even though they'd like to have different kinds of deals, it's worked out well. |
It feels like we haven't won a game in a long time. We haven't, and that's not a good thing. |
It happens during the course of the season, sometimes in back-to-back games. But we're not concerned. I don't think people have caught up to our offense. |
It looks pretty good, ... It looks like he'll be ready to go next week. |
It really was a fun game. It was disappointing because it was an AFC team. Our guys wanted to win, but they just outplayed us. |
It was a fun streak and no one wanted it to end. Our guys wanted to stay undefeated. They didn't want to lose at all. They wanted to go 16-0. But the Chargers just outplayed us today. |
It was a little surprising. Everyone has something that they're looking for. |
It was a really, really neat time, and our players enjoyed it. |
It was a very satisfying win for us. We didn't play our best in the preseason, but we had confidence in ourselves and we just had to show it. We knew it was going to be hard to get points early, but our defense hung in there and held the fort until our offense hit a couple of big plays. |
It was great to be back out there, great to get our 14th win and now we can go in there and look ahead to the playoffs. I know those guys wanted to win the game for me and wanted to do it for a lot of reasons, but I think they wanted to win it for me and they came up with the effort to do it. It was special. |
