(On this being the most frustrating day for him as a quarterback)
"It's about as bad as it gets, period the end. We just need to take a look at where we are at and use this bye week to our advantage and get this thing figured out."

(On the last three weeks)
"From an offensive standpoint, we haven't done enough to help ourselves early in the ballgames. We put ourselves in situations that we haven't been able to overcome. We haven't given ourselves a chance to keep drives alive and to capitalize on opportunities. It's very frustrating."

(On the team dropping some balls)
"I know this: we are all responsible for this loss and for the past couple of losses. I know there are things we all can do better."

(On his thoughts that Jeff Fisher might make a QB change)
"I am not going to assume anything at this point. I still feel like I am the quarterback of this team and this is my team. I give us a chance to win when I go out there."

(On ever being part of such a lopsided game)
"I haven't been a part of a game like this in the pros. In college, I have been part of a couple on the plus side of games like this. We made a lot of mistakes and we played a really good football team. When you put those two things together, it's going to be a bad loss."

(On the team struggling when adversity hits)
"I wish I could put my finger on it. We have guys that are out there fighting and doing everything they can. Unfortunately, the frustrating part is, it's not working out for us, but that is something we all have to deal with and I will have to take to heart this bye week and just try and stick together and come back."

(On feeling the game spinning out of control)
"At the end of the first half, I think we turned it over three straight possessions, two of those were mine and that's unacceptable, bottom line."

(On the weather conditions)
"They had to play with them too and they didn't do those kinds of things, from my standpoint, two fumbled snaps and that is something that I have to do, to take better care of the ball."

(On what has happened to the team in such a short period of time)
"It's hard to tell. I know from an offensive standpoint, we are turning the ball over too much. We didn't turn the ball over a lot last year and I think that helped us win a lot of games."

(On keep playing through the lopsided score)
"We are professionals, we are expected to play hard every play and compete. I think guys did that, I don't think I saw anyone out there that wasn't competing or quit. That is expected every week, were are expected to win and to give winning performance and we just aren't doing that right now."

(On what to do moving forward as the quarterback of this team)
"I think this is a time when the leaders of this team, I consider myself a leader, I am a workaholic, I am going to do everyone I can on the practice field, the locker room to win next week. There's no room for whining or complaining or pointing fingers. I am not going to throw helmets, scream at guys or call people out. We will come back to work and that's the bottom line. I hope guys follow my example."

(On the team's chances of turning around their season)
"Absolutely I think we can, without question. We are not as bad as we think we are right now. It is hard to see that right now after tonight, we need to keep working and good things will happen. We have a bunch of guys that just aren't going to lay down, they aren't going to quit and keep pushing forward. As long as we do that, we have a chance."
