I've had some good games and bad games. I think I've been putting our team in situations to win most games in the fourth quarter. That's been one of my goals. But I have to improve my play in all aspects for us to have a chance to do well in the playoffs.
It is shocking. We haven't had a performance like this before. We've always found a way to move the ball and score points, and today we just couldn't do anything. I wish I had a reason why. We've had bad games before where the next week you come in and work on something and hopefully get better, but this performance is one we'll have to think about for the next several months.
I'm worried about doing my best, playing to my potential, helping out my teammates, and trying to win games for the Giants.
I'm not satisfied. I'm still enjoying this. I still feel like I'm in the best part of my career and I can play at a high level. This is what I love to do: playing football and winning games.
I'll bring what I bring to the tale, but it's good to know you have two guys with the experience and know-how in big games.
We just have to go after our game plan.
As a quarterback, you try to manage the game. It's not just throwing the ball. You have to manage the running game and getting out of bad situations and there are a lot of things to it. That's what I'm trying to do.
You can't join a team and give up on it because you lose a few games or things aren't going well.
With the game on the line. I want the ball in my hands.
Every game he just makes so many outstanding plays for us. Not only with his runs, but with his pass receiving. He?s our work horse and we are going to keep feeding him.
That was not the way I wanted to come out and play. It was disappointing, especially the way the offense played this season. We couldn't hit any big plays or establish anything to build on. They did a good job, but I still didn't protect the ball, and that's what it comes down to in big games.
That's been one of our goals from the beginning of the season and it would be a big accomplishment for this team. It's been in our sights the past couple of weeks and now it's here for us to have if we want it. It's just a matter of whether we can go out there and play football well enough.
Nobody had many catches. There's no doubt, we gotta get him some catches.
Peyton and I aren't competitive with each other. We root for each other to do well. Last year was the first time we've ever been in the same league and playing at the same time. I'm always glad for him when he plays well and they're winning.
