If I play well and win a lot of games, everybody will compare me and Ben. If I play poorly, I'll be a rookie quarterback playing poorly and there won't be any comparisons.
Those drives are just demoralizing for a defense,
Win or lose, we're still going to have to get better and go from there, ... It's not a make-or-break game in our season, by any means, but obviously our goal is to start 1-0 and if we do, great. If we don't, then obviously we've got to get back to work.
We came unglued a little bit, ... I tried to call some stuff out at the line and get the situation right.
I don't know. I just know we're where we should be, and that's first place. That's where the Chicago Bears should be.
I didn't play well. I didn't make good decisions. You can't play like that and turn the ball over five times and expect to win a game.
He's a hard-nosed guy. For him to play hurt, that's great.
I haven't really had time to step back from the situation and kind of let myself be in awe or anything, ... But the fans are unbelievable. It's been a long time since they've had a winner here. You can just feel they want one so bad.
I haven't proven anything yet. This is preseason football and I think I'm playing pretty well, but we haven't even played Game 1. We'll see what we do in the regular season.
I haven't proved anything yet. I'm playing pretty well, but we haven't even played game one.
I played like crap, ... I had a chance to make plays and didn't do it. The result of that is us losing the game. I didn't make good decisions. You can't play like that, turn the ball over five times, and expect to win. I'm not gonna put this on me being young.
I lean on him quite a bit. I trust his judgment and his knowledge of what's going on at any given time. It can get kind of chaotic out there, and he helps settle everything down.
I'm sure Joey wishes he had a better game. But playing against the best defense in the league, hey, that's tough.
I'm not going to put this on my being young or anything. I played like crap today, and that's basically what I'm going to put it on.
