Hopefully this is the last place I'll end up playing. That's so rare in this league these days. It's so rare to see a person have a five-, eight-, 10-, 12-year career in one place. And I feel very fortunate that it looks like that's going to be my future. |
I didn't have a chance to talk to him, ... He called a great game. He keeps you on your toes defensively. They had a couple of turnovers and other things he can't control. |
I don't know how bad it was and how bad it can get, but just from hearing stories from guys and hearing the excitement that guys have about this season, that was never there before. In the past guys just dreaded being here because they knew they were going to lose. Hearing that makes you realize this place has changed. Everybody talks about the change, but it's for real. |
I feel extremely honored and thrilled that they want me to be a part of this organization. We're building a team for the future. We're young. We know what we've got. |
I feel like we're in a great spot, ... We've done a good job to get here. Now, we've got to stay on top. They're the division champs and they're where we want to be. It's a huge game for us. |

I feel very confident that things went well, that there were no unusual complications. I want to thank our fans and fans everywhere for their support of me, and I'm looking forward to a great season for our team and myself personally. |
I flat-out didn't play well enough to win. It hurts. This game meant a lot to us. It meant a lot to the city and to the fans. We let ourselves and everybody around us down. |
I have a lot more experience, so I feel like I'm a different quarterback since that game. |
I haven't had to throw the ball nine out of 10 plays, ... I'm not getting hit, I'm not getting sacked, and the guys are getting open. |
I put a lot of it on myself, ... I don't think I've played well enough to beat them. |
I take a lot of heat because guys say, 'You're lucky you don't have to run today,' but when you're in the position I'm in and you're hurt that's when you want to be running. I wish I could be out there running. It's like that for everyone in the season. When (tight end) Reggie (Kelly) broke his hand last year, he was standing on the sideline and some people were jealous of him, but there's nothing more he'd rather been doing than practicing. |
I think Coach just wanted to let some starters rest. Going into a game like (next week's), you don't need momentum. |
I think if we've talked about anything it's that we're not going to approach this as any other week, as any different game. Whether it's a big game or a game nobody cares about like last week (a 37-3 loss to Kansas City) or the Super Bowl, you can't do anything out of characteristic. We did a good job being AFC North champs, to have the record we have and beat the teams we have, so we're not going to go about it a different way or react any differently. |
I thought a lot about it. It seems like everything happened so fast. Parts of last night that seemed like minutes were hours. Looking back, some of last night flew by. But I don't think this thing is going to hit me until I get going on the rehab session, start battling the road back. |
