I've thrown for a lot of yards and a lot of numbers and played a lot of games and been on some very competitive teams. But I think for my career to feel complete, I need to be the guy on the field quarterbacking the team when we win a championship. That's why I'm here.
At that point in the game I felt like we were absolutely manhandling them. When we turned the ball over I wasn't happy about that.
At that point in the game I felt like we were absolutely manhandling them, ... When we turned the ball over I wasn't happy about that.
We put our defense in some horrible spots. They had to keep us in the ball game until we could kind of get it together.
We never thought we'd see this happen to our team. I didn't think that this team was capable of losing a game like that.
With the weapons they have, we know we're going to have to score points, ... You never know exactly how these games are going to go, but it would be a very, very strange scenario for this to be a 9-6 game.
We had opportunities offensively to end the game and we just couldn't do it. You just can't let them hang around.
When you have that rivalry and you have that history that goes with it certainly is good for the game and for the sport. I think it adds a little level of excitement for the players and the fans.
To put (Tucker) over there on an island for the entire game probably wouldn't be pretty smart,
Obviously, this is the biggest game there is and everybody wants to play in this game, ... That would be a hard situation.
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.
That's the challenge right now is to bounce back from a really tough game where we had some breaks that went the other way and then just kind of got beat up.
It shows what we can be when we get out of our own way. The last couple weeks, we made some mistakes that put us in some close games and when that happens, you're going to lose some of them.
The only time you see a game like that is in college.
