afraid anyone ball bill chance felt history obviously people pigeonhole plays points run threw trick turned wants
People try to pigeonhole Bill and make it out like he just wants to run the ball and play defense. I've been with him before, and we threw it more than anyone in the history of the league. He's not afraid to take a chance on a trick play here and there. He felt that would give us a chance, and it obviously did. Those plays turned into points for us.
ball biggest bill brought edge focused life living negative throw
Bill said when he brought me in here: 'You've got to be smart. We're not going to throw the ball like a high-wire act, living life on the edge all the time,' ... The biggest thing I am going to be focused on is eliminating negative plays.
ball best defense finally forcing good liked offense run tonight
The thing I liked best about our offense tonight is that we finally got out of our own way, ... We were making mistakes, but not because the defense was forcing us to do it. When we run the ball like we did tonight, we're going to be good offensively.

ball case envisioned game gone mind past prepare scenario start super
Then to start out 0-2, and to get injured, and then not be able to get back on the field, all of those things. ... But I have to say that I had gone through in my mind and had envisioned this scenario being the case for the past week, because that's what you have to prepare for. But to have that happen, and to be kneeling on the ball at the end of the game and to be going to the Super Bowl, it's just a little overwhelming.
ball high higher mistake throw
I've got to throw that ball higher and out of bounds. It was just a major-league mistake on my part. I just didn't get it up high enough. It's unfortunate. I've got to make a better play.
against anyone ball challenge chase football good great run rushing
It's going to be a great challenge to run the ball against (the Chargers), but we're not going to back down from that. We're still going to run the ball. We feel like we can be a very good rushing football team, and we're not going to let anyone chase us away from that.
ability accurately ahead anytime ball bills cap field goes hand kid picked picks prove somebody throw tip
Anytime somebody picks somebody else over you, it's motivating. The Bills went and picked this young kid to play ahead of me. I don't think it was the right decision. I still don't. I want to go out and prove I can still get it done. The ability to throw the ball effectively, accurately and all over the field is still there. When that goes away, I think you'll see me tip my cap and hand it off to somebody else.
