We had four shots at it. I've got to come through.
I was trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. But when you're with Mayor Flutie, it's pretty much impossible. They love the guy there.
It doesn't matter who is coming in. We just need a win. He's a good player and he's having a good year. They're a tough team. We have our work cut out for us.
I still feel like I'm getting the reps that I need to prepare myself for the season, ... Really the big thing is just starting the game and being in there for that first drive to see what (defenses) are doing and reacting to it.
I think he gets up to beat the Raiders almost as much as Marty.
We were tying to go down and get points and pad that lead, but they did a good job getting back into the game. But our defense did a heck of a job holding them.
I'm shaking, I'm getting a little scared. He has the best quarterback rating in the history of the game right now. I don't know if we should let him throw anymore.
Maybe I'm spoiled a little. I see it all the time, but he just never ceases to amaze me.
We made big plays when we needed to make big plays, maybe not the way we drew it up but as long as you make them, that's all that matters.
We've gone on the road and won at two very difficult places. We've got another hostile environment this week, but we know that we can win wherever we play if we execute and do the things we need to do.
We had our chances in the second half to make it a one-possession game and we didn't do it.
I don't think we're in a situation at all where anybody's overreacting here. I mean, obviously 2-3 is not where we thought we'd be at this point in the season, especially since I feel like we have a really good team and I feel like we're better than we were last year, ... But I think our attitude is and the way we look at it is, if we win this game we're sitting at 3-3, which is exactly where we were sitting at this time last year.
I expect to have a great season and I expect us to have a great season, ... How else would you expect us to look at it?
I couldn't say that was our motivation, but obviously we all knew about it. But Kansas City's 8-4 now, and we've got to go there. So there are plenty of tough tests ahead.
