Mark Brunell Games Quotations

Patrick is a great guy and a very good player. He's a good friend, and I think he's going to have a great year. The backup's role is to always be ready. That's the purpose of preseason, to get ready for the regular season, so I feel good about the games I had and the time I was in there.

Our season is riding on this game. The guys have worked real hard all year to get to this place. From where we were at 5-6, it's pretty remarkable. All of that being said and as great as these last four games have been, if we don't get this one, it would be tough to end the season that way. We have to realize how critical this is.

That was quite a while ago. But it's a great memory, one of the best games I've ever been part of, one of the best teams I've ever been part of.

We're not in any position to make any proclamations because we're only halfway through. All we can say is we're pleased with where we're at, 5-3. It could be better; it could be worse. You are what you are and we're a 5-3 team halfway through. Probably the overall feeling is that we feel pretty good about ourselves. We've been in tough games and won them. We've played against good defenses and offenses, and for the most part we've done very well. But it's hard to say at this point.

We scored 14 in the fourth quarter, and the last few weeks we haven't been able to do that. I think it just shows the resolve of this team. We had three very frustrating weeks -- games that were very much in our reach -- and today we made the plays we need to make to win the football game.

Psychologically, at least for our confidence, that was huge. We got in that fourth quarter, and the previous three games we weren't able to pull it out. Our backs are still against the wall. It's going to be a tough road ahead. Hopefully this does something for us.

You need your best games in the playoffs to keep going. That obviously was not the case today.

These things even out, they really do, and sometimes you get a break. I felt like we got a break with Sellers that week, I really do. There's going to be games where you don't get the calls that you want.
