It is something like basically getting stabbed in the heart. These are the type of games you look back on at the end of the season and just hope they don't hurt you.
I'm sure he's not happy with the way he left the Giants.
I was saying this was probably one of the worst defenses I've ever been on, the way we were playing early in the season. But people took that personally, and we've gotten better. Today's performance was absolutely amazing.
This team is one of those teams that you are going to have to stay until the end of the game to see exactly what happens.
There have been three guys I've been around who, personality-wise, have been the most inspirational,
Who says we are that good anyway? One week we're worse than dirt, and then the next week we are better than sugar.
We've been doing some things well, but we know we have to work on some things. We can be a very good football team. We can do some things in the playoffs, but we're going to have to play better.
You can be disappointed you didn't wrap it up, which I am sure we are. At the same time, it would be even more disappointing if we didn't have another chance. We have another chance. We're disappointed. We're upset. Everybody is mad. But it's not over.
We had a lot of mistakes, a lot of things that potentially could hurt us. If we can eliminate those things and continue to do everything else the way that we're doing, I think the sky is the limit.
We all know there have been some cases in which guys have crossed the line. I'm pretty sure there are more that haven't been caught. When you have those situations ... it absolutely can hurt the team.
Usually, when you have a young quarterback out there, you think, 'Just don't turn it over,' ... Let your other superstar players give us a chance to win. Well, with Eli back there, he is the superstar player. He's the guy who's going to make those plays.
Tom Coughlin is great with the players and he is what you see with the media. He's a good guy and he's a fun guy, but at the same time he's a serious guy when it comes to winning and it comes to football.
We've just got to make plays. Keep the ball out of their hands, make the tackles, all the other stuff. We didn't do it.
Today was a morale builder for us. We've played better and we've played worse. But hopefully, this will be the start of an upswing that can take us through the postseason.
