best certain defines football gets good instead last matter mistakes playing playoffs season totally tougher within year
You go out and you try to do a little too much instead of playing within yourself and playing within the system. The thing this year is to try not to make mistakes you made last year. (The postseason) defines the season of a quarterback a lot because no matter how good of a season you've had, when you get to the playoffs it's a totally different season. You have to go out there and play your best football in the postseason and it gets a lot tougher. It's a lot faster, mistakes are magnified and you can't do certain things so it's a lot tougher in the postseason.

We have to bounce back. If anybody is questioning themselves, they don?t need to be out here. I think this team will bounce back strong, hopefully stronger than ever. We have to; there?s no question.

When you play in the preseason, you don't game-plan. You're playing against yourself, really. I just felt like we were really close to being in sync and being really good.

You have to be mature doing what I do. These guys want to see a leader, not someone immature. I rely on my brain a little more than last year. It's a patience thing.
