This definitely hurts. I definitely feel like we should have won the game.
Compared to the other teams, it definitely seems like a younger team to me. But I think that everybody here has the same motivation, the same desire to go out there and win these games and put us in the Super Bowl. That is everybody's goal. There is no doubt in anybody's mind that we can do that as long as we play the way we are capable of playing.
I feel fresh, ... And I appreciate playing. Every time I step on the field, every play, I look at it as it could be my last. The realization of that definitely has me feeling that I'd better take advantage of every snap that I can.
When you're older, it's harder to stay in this game and play at a Pro Bowl level. I definitely feel it was one of my better years, if not the best. Experience definitely helps, realizing you don't have to rely so much on bulk, mass and strength. You can rely on what you've learned over the years and you can be just as effective.
I think he's definitely been under more pressure before. He's smart enough to realize in the long run it's still just a game anyway. It's a playoff game and maybe the tempo picks up a little bit more, and of course everything is at stake, but at the same time it's still football.
It depends what you do with it those six times. If you do like Moss or T.O. does, you definitely have the right to say whatever you say because there are only a few guys who can change a game in the course of a few plays.
I'm sure he's not happy with the way he left the Giants. I'm sure I wouldn't be if that were the same situation in my case. But at the same time, it's not Kerry Collins against the Giants. It's Raiders against Giants. One guy can have a vengeance, but you have to go out and play the game as an entire team.
I'm sure he's not happy with the way he left the Giants.
I know we'd both rather be here to play the game. But at least we're here doing something.
Everybody's professional. Nobody's an idiot. Nobody's a jerk. We all know each other. So it's not like we see each other in the city and we run over and bust the window out of their car with a baseball bat or nothing. We're all friends.
That guy across from me is not trying to be my friend once we're out there and I'm not trying to be his either. We're not playing just to go out there and put on a show and let these guys win the game.
It was great to be back out there playing with some live action and getting to hit another team.
I'm glad he's a Manning. Maybe it's in the blood.
I'm enjoying this more than I ever have, ... I think when you're not playing, you realize that you're not going to play forever. But when you do get the chance to play again, you appreciate it that much more.
