In my first year, I always looked for positive things and kept working, ... The good news is the score is always zero-zero when you kick off the next week. I've told Eli to 'keep sawing wood.'
I'm just so glad that 'can't-win-in-the-playoffs' crap is over. Gosh, I know how hard it is to succeed on that level, and trust me, it's just the worst thing to have to deal with. It's much worse as a father. I mean, find something else to put on him -- and trust me, people will -- but at least make it something that doesn't take a year to get rid of.
I never got to do it, so I'm very excited for them. I can tell you for sure it's exciting because in my 15 years, this time of year I was packing up my stuff to go home.
I could tell them apart. But I'm not so sure, if Peyton's still playing three years from now, and Eli is fortunate enough to still be playing in three years. They'll look even more alike than they do now.

Things finally got to that point where I feel comfortable with what we're doing with our plays. Our receivers have a great feel for our offense now and know the timing of the routes. ... So we're getting there.
