Drew Bledsoe Game Quotations

Obviously, this is the biggest game there is and everybody wants to play in this game, ... That would be a hard situation.

We never thought we'd see this happen to our team. I didn't think that this team was capable of losing a game like that.

We had opportunities offensively to end the game and we just couldn't do it. You just can't let them hang around.

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.

The only time you see a game like that is in college.

We're going to show up and play the game anyway.

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.

To put (Tucker) over there on an island for the entire game probably wouldn't be pretty smart,

When you have that rivalry and you have that history that goes with it certainly is good for the game and for the sport. I think it adds a little level of excitement for the players and the fans.

That's what you do, ... After the game you shake hands and live to fight another day.

This game was very, very important for us, not only to win it but to win it the way that we did.

You play this game to play, ... It feels that much sweeter when you are on the field. ... To have that situation play out the way it did, it's an emotional high.

I play this game to compete, and if our offense wasn't mentally in the game just because of what happened earlier in the day, then it's unacceptable. Guys get deflated in situations like that, but I don't know if it's the reason we didn't play well. We would have liked to have finished on a good note but didn't do it.

This is a hugely important game for us. But we've got to keep winning.

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.

That's the challenge right now is to bounce back from a really tough game where we had some breaks that went the other way and then just kind of got beat up.

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.
