I felt comfortable. But it wasn't my best day. I wasn't perfect and I wish I had thrown the ball a little bit better.
What can you say about L.T. that hasn't already been said other than he's obviously a special player and somebody we rely on quite a bit in everything we do, in the running game, the passing game and just as an offense,
You can always be a little bit better.
In my mind, I feel like I'm going to come back better than ever. I wouldn't even call it a setback. I think it's an opportunity for me to just get going a little bit earlier than expected and rehabbing and working out and making sure that when I come back I'm better than I was when I went in.
took a moment to kind of just stare at the sky and think about the past seven months.
We talked about it all week, how this could be the game that we throw it 50 times, and I think we almost did,
We went into a couple of sports equipment stores and asked if they had heard of Darren Bennett, ... They all said he's great; he made it to America.
We felt our defense had done its part, and it was time for us to do ours and put the game away.
It was tough to know that was the end of our chances to make it into the playoffs. To come home and get to spend time with family, I think that got everyone's mind off it a short period of time and allowed everyone to take a deep breath and see what can we accomplish this last game.
The whole team has tried to do too much. That's what happens sometimes when you have success. You feel like you just need to do better than better. At times, better is good enough to win. I think you can try too hard.
Sometimes you get in those situations, you try to do too much, try to say, 'I'm the guy who has to make every play and it's my responsibility to do everything,' which it's not,
Everybody was yelling 'we love you Flutie,' and 'you should be the starter.' They're yelling everything, ... They love the guy there. They were yelling stuff at him about when he was the starter back in the '80s, saying 'they never should have let you go.'
At the start of the season, our goal was to win a championship. We were expecting to be in the playoffs, so that wasn't even a goal.
Doug has been great to us, ... He'll come up on the sideline, even if we don't ask him a question, and say, 'Did you see what I did? The reason I did that was because I saw this or that, or they were blitzing a linebacker.' He lays it out for you where you wouldn't know otherwise. It's great, because Doug's my kind of player. He can do a lot of things that other guys can't.
