1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Difficult, you guys. Yeah, you know, that's not the way

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: we envisioned tonight going. So, um, you know, the thing

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: about being the playoffs, when it ends, it's kind of

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: like a crash land and so it's tough pill to

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: swallow think about how the previous season win and all

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: the work we put in to get back to this point.

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: We were excited about the opportunity. But you know, give

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills credit and they they thoroughly and sound

9
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: only outplayed us tonight and they deserve to win. And

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, I think the one thing I'll say is

11
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: this team should be proud, God bless you. This team

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 1: should be proud of the strides that it made, um,

13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: the growth that we showed over the course of the season.

14
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: And you know, for me, I know, I'm just thankful

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: to have been able to be a part of this

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: group every year. Thinking you uh, you know, I don't

17
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: want to I certainly don't want to disrespect the team

18
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: and what we just went through and talk about my

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: personal situation obviously. I mean, look, I'm closer to the end.

20
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: We all know that, and you know, I'll pray about

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: it and make a final decision and have some conversations.

22
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: But tonight I just want to, you know, make sure

23
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: that I express gratitude to the people that I owe

24
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: it too, and take time to be reflective and thankful

25
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: for you know, not only the experience this year, but

26
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: throughout the entire day of my careers. UM, I don't

27
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: think anything was there tonight. And when you go and

28
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: get b like that, just you can't really say you

29
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: did anything. Well, um, you're talking about our team. I

30
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: think we've changed a lot. I think every every week

31
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: is an experience that your team takes, and it changes

32
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: your team and molds your team. It evolves your team certainly. Um.

33
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: I think since the last time we want a year,

34
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: we've faced some some tough outings and haven't played our

35
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: best football. And I hope we take that and we

36
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: we use it as an opportunity to grow, especially a

37
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: lot of these young guys that are you know, at

38
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: the beginning of their careers. I hope they use this

39
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: season as a learning experience and apply it down the road. No,

40
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: not at all. I think we've our commitment level has

41
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: been the same for nineteen weeks, nineteen weeks plus, um,

42
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: And I mean you just don't get to the player.

43
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: You don't you just get to the playoffs unless you're committed,

44
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: and certainly we're committed. Um. You know, I personally feel

45
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: like we had a great deal of confidence. I can't

46
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: speak for everyone on the team, but I certainly feel

47
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: like we believe we could come in here and win tonight.

48
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: But we obviously didn't do that. Um. I mean yes

49
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: and no, and you I think you have to keep

50
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: proper perspective on the National Football League. For those of

51
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: you who've been covering this team for a long time,

52
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: it's not reality. I mean, what we've experienced here to

53
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: to have the runs that we've had, the expectations for

54
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: this football team. I mean, nobody else in the league

55
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: has done that. So that's not reality. That's not the

56
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: reality of the NFL. So I think perspectives important. So

57
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: you look at what happened last year, and you know,

58
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: the regression that we had to get back to this point.

59
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: I think certainly we should be proud of that. But

60
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: the other edge of that sword tells us that the

61
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 1: expectations and the man are high here and the standards

62
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: never gonna change. So certainly we're not pleased with the

63
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: way that we ended the season. And we're also not

64
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: pleased with tonight's outcome. So you got to keep a

65
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: good balance there. You got to realize what you're talking about.

66
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: You got to realize who this football team is and

67
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: where they're headed. And you know, we'll see what the futures.

68
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: Obviously you're walked away. Yeah, I think the future is

69
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: right for this organization with that young man Um, not

70
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: just his play on the field, but I think the

71
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: man that he is, the character that he possesses, Um,

72
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: He's the type of and that you hope to build around.

73
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: So I know my kids and I will be watching

74
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: them for a long time to come. I'm excited about

75
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: where this organization is going to be in the future

76
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: with him. It's certainly been an honor for me to

77
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: play alongside of him and see him growing over the

78
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: course of the year. But you know, the Patriots nation,

79
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: they should be excited about having number ten as their quarterback.

80
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: Thanks guys,
