We feel we're a solid team. But going out and doing it is another. We have a good team on paper, but if you can't play between those lines on Sunday it does you no good.
We had opportunities. It is frustrating. We only put up 20 points and that wasn't good enough today.
Yeah, we think we have a chance to do some good things but if you ask 31 other quarterbacks around the league today, I bet they feel the exact same way as I do. They feel like their team will do something special this year. That's part of it. That's part of our game. Pretty much, we're all starting on an even playing field.
I am here to play football, I am here to have fun, ... I don't take advantage because I was put on a good football team.
Peyton would tell you that, too. Eli is a big, good-looking kid who can throw the ball well. The thing that separates Peyton is his work ethic and how he prepares himself. Eli went to Ole Miss and did pretty darn well without the best cast around him. I think he'll do just fine. He's just a very good athlete who can throw the ball extremely well.
I feel great. I felt fine on Monday, actually. I was fine after the game. I remembered every play. I had an appetite. No headache. It was just a good hit.
We go on the road, it's just us. You have to believe. It's going to be loud, but we concentrate on our job. Coach (John) Fox does a good job with that.
You have to give them credit. That's a good football team. They were the best team in the NFC all year and they played better than us today. That's for sure. They dominated the day today.
Tonight and tomorrow are going to be tough, but we've got to move on. We've got 15 more games and they come quick, real quick. We can't sit here and sulk because we've got a good football team coming in here next week.
Football can bring you the highest highs and the lower lows, and it doesn't get any lower than this. We had a good drive going, there was no doubt that we were going to kick the field goal and win the game. I made a bad throw, and the guy picked it off.
It was good to have Stephen Davis back in there. He hit some holes well and we were able to punch it in for a score. That was the big thing, a nice drive on the first drive and we get a touchdown.
When we came a couple months ago, basically I lost the game. It was nice to come back and get on top this time. They're a good defense, but we stepped up to the challenge.
We did some good things, ... I'm disappointed that we settled for three field goals, but it was great to end the half the way we did. To score seven points was huge after the Browns touchdown.
Hopefully, we can have a good drive, maybe get some points, a touchdown instead of a field goal,
