No matter how loud the stadium is, once you're on that field and that offense walks up to the line, it's silent. You can only hear the guys on the field. It's amazing how much concentration you can have when it's required and how powerful your mind is to give it to you.
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.
As a unit, from where we were in the past, holding your breath every time they kicked to us or we kicked to them, to now we have a unit that can swing momentum, it's phenomenal.
That's fine with me. Offensively, we scored 28 and special teams put another 14 on the board. It's a team game.
That's good that he feels that way. He should feel that way. I sure he wasn't happy with the way he left the Giants, just as I'm sure I wouldn't be if it were me.
Coming out here and taking teams lightly will get us beaten. They threw the ball up and had some fun with it. It's not as if they were just lining up and saying 'Come and get him.' We all know if they did that, they wouldn't have had success throwing the ball. We gave up easy plays defensively. To make things easy is frustrating.
This definitely hurts. I definitely feel like we should have won the game.
This feels like a blown opportunity. We should've won. ... You're not going to win when you handicap yourself.
They don't tell you how to be on TV - they put the camera on you, and they turn it on, and you sink or swim.
Our other guys are going to see that and feed off it. He goes after the ball and actually catches it.
I look at it like this: You call the defense and if you execute everything right, then it should work, ... It's probably more frustration on the part of the defense. But at least they are correctable things, things that we better correct or we are not going to like our results this season.
I know Eli gets a lot of flak, but for some reason when he is in the game I just feel like we've always got a shot. Eli is always going to give us a chance to win, and that's what you need.
I know we'd both rather be here to play the game. But at least we're here doing something.
I guess something like that would have seemed crazy at one point.
