I'm not a 25-interception quarterback, I know that,
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.
My arm feels fine. You still have to be aggressive, but if something's ugly and not there, you can't force it in.
We had a chance to do it, but obviously, we didn't. We've got another chance next week, and hopefully, we'll do a better performance.
I've just seen it on TV and in pictures.
I've had ups and downs, that's just the way football goes. You can't win them all. It's a matter of learning each week and taking everything in. I'm not going to make every play, I'm going to make some mistakes, but as long as I'm not making the costly ones that are going to hurt the team, I'll be all right.
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's going to be meaningful and exciting. It's going to be something different, something I've never done before.
It'll be fun, obviously. But I'm really competing against the Indianapolis defense. It'll be exciting and something you always remember because it's the first time we'll ever compete against each other.
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.
