Drew Bledsoe Ball Quotations

He was certainly back there quick enough that he almost took the ball out of my hands on the handoff.

We put our defense in some horrible spots. They had to keep us in the ball game until we could kind of get it together.

Bill said when he brought me in here: 'You've got to be smart. We're not going to throw the ball like a high-wire act, living life on the edge all the time,' ... The biggest thing I am going to be focused on is eliminating negative plays.

At that point in the game I felt like we were absolutely manhandling them, ... When we turned the ball over I wasn't happy about that.

At that point in the game I felt like we were absolutely manhandling them. When we turned the ball over I wasn't happy about that.

The thing I liked best about our offense tonight is that we finally got out of our own way, ... We were making mistakes, but not because the defense was forcing us to do it. When we run the ball like we did tonight, we're going to be good offensively.

People try to pigeonhole Bill and make it out like he just wants to run the ball and play defense. I've been with him before, and we threw it more than anyone in the history of the league. He's not afraid to take a chance on a trick play here and there. He felt that would give us a chance, and it obviously did. Those plays turned into points for us.

I've got to throw that ball higher and out of bounds. It was just a major-league mistake on my part. I just didn't get it up high enough. It's unfortunate. I've got to make a better play.

Anytime you turn the ball over four times and still end up on top, ... it says a lot about what your defense is doing.

They made an effort to stop Jason today. We tried a couple of times to get him the ball and they had two and three guys on him. But we had to get some other guys involved.

Anytime somebody picks somebody else over you, it's motivating. The Bills went and picked this young kid to play ahead of me. I don't think it was the right decision. I still don't. I want to go out and prove I can still get it done. The ability to throw the ball effectively, accurately and all over the field is still there. When that goes away, I think you'll see me tip my cap and hand it off to somebody else.

Then to start out 0-2, and to get injured, and then not be able to get back on the field, all of those things. ... But I have to say that I had gone through in my mind and had envisioned this scenario being the case for the past week, because that's what you have to prepare for. But to have that happen, and to be kneeling on the ball at the end of the game and to be going to the Super Bowl, it's just a little overwhelming.

It's going to be a great challenge to run the ball against (the Chargers), but we're not going to back down from that. We're still going to run the ball. We feel like we can be a very good rushing football team, and we're not going to let anyone chase us away from that.

If I ever get to the point where I feel like I've proven everything I need to prove, then it's probably time to walk away. I think I still have a lot to offer. I think I can still play the game at a very high level, throw the ball accurately, be a good leader.
