I saw that team take the growing pains and get to the playoffs, then win the division. I want to be here to see us win three or four Super Bowls. That's my only goal. So for me, I'm like, 'OK. If you guys are handling that side of it, call me when it's really, really ready to get done.' But as of right now, I'm going to try to do everything I can to get this team to the Super Bowl.
It is going to be exciting to see us come out next year and prepare our trip to Miami.
I think we showed a lot of people about this team.
I think whenever you play football, at any time it could be your last play. I think that's the great thing about this sport. Every week and every play, you have to play like it's your last. I'll just go out there and play hard, and that's the best I can do.
I think that, come January, we will be one of the offenses that everybody is going to fear. Everybody forgets that Jacksonville and Atlanta have a very good defense. I think we've done well against them.
I think a lot of people don't know how good we are.
I wish I could see more weaknesses. There just aren't any.
Winners win and losers lose. We weren't winners. We're winners this year. We look at the game differently. It's not like it was last year. We have a totally different team. We expect more from each other.
Where you're playing against someone when you have to be on point it's not wise to do like I did. It went from bad to worse. I was getting hits from folks I normally don't take hits from, and I fumbled the ball.
We're all just kind of in the groove. And no one wants to get off anything right now.
We realized what it takes to beat good teams. We got to see it in one crazy environment. D.C. has some loud, great fans. That was an eye-opener for us.
We have a lot of things to be proud of. We took Seattle to a place it's never been before.
We've got so much to be thankful for. I just want to thank each and everyone of you all for making this the best stadium in the world!
We're used to having to play in very, very tough climates. That's just part of the game. And we like wearing our dark uniforms better. It makes us feel like we're at home.
