At this point, it's just a football game. Obviously, there are a lot of things surrounding it, but it's still just a game. I think everyone in this locker room and in their locker room probably feels the same way.
I think we did some good things. Eli was a little bit more consistent. He made some great decisions out there and he was a good leader in the huddle. I think execution-wise we weren't perfect, we still have a lot of room for improvement. That being said, we're ecstatic that we're 2-0. We have great team chemistry right now with everyone doing their part, but we're still not holding up our end completely and it's going to take some time.
I'm sure that is what he's been aiming to do. Kerry is the kind of guy who just wants to win all the time. That's why I loved him.
I'm very disappointed. We were flat and didn't match their intensity, and it showed on the scoreboard.
I know the team relies on me a lot, to be durable, to be accountable, to make big plays. I don't envision myself letting them down.
It's so nice to have so many weapons. There is no pressure and that's how it should be. If one part of the offense is faltering, someone is there to pick it up.
It was his first game as a full-time starter for us. We have a lot of talent around him, a lot of veteran players. He doesn't need to be Joe Montana right now. He has time to develop into that. As long as we play well around him, I think he'll continue to develop and be the great quarterback we expect him to be.
It's really not about me, it's about the team. Last year, we didn't have a lot of good things happen to us. That's not the formula every year. If I get 200 touches this season and we win, that's fine with me.
At the end of the game, when we needed to score some points, we turned it on. Unfortunately that's been an M. O. for us this season. We're only scoring when we have to score. When we have to, we do it. But it should never come to that. We should be able to play with the sense of urgency and consistency that allows these games not to come down to the last two minutes of every one.
That's encouraging, ... but no solace. The bottom line is we lost this game and we should have won.
They are very good and I think they have an emotional edge in their own minds about what the season is going to bring for them and mean for them. We have to find a way to combat that.

We've been assured that it's nothing serious. We've been told he'll be back in a couple weeks.
