Kerry Collins Game Quotations

We did have to alter our game plan a little bit, but not a whole lot. I think guys stepped up and played hard and did a good job.

Obviously, this game holds special meaning for me. I had five good years there and I'm very appreciative of everything that they did for me when I was there. At the same time, obviously, it was tough the way it ended and there's certainly a little bit more emotion involved in this game for me than any other game.

Right before the game he came in and said his workout went well. We knew he would be limited, but he made some big catches, including a touchdown. We used him sparingly, but he was effective.

His range, his speed, his feel for the game is better than anyone I've ever been around.

I think you look at every game and there have been different reasons for it. Penalties, I think, have hurt us. Certainly I take responsibility for things I could have done better and it's been frustrating. But we've got two more chances to prove we can be the kind of offense we thought we would be.

I'm sure it's no coincidence that we're on Thursday night, first game of the year. It's great. There's a lot of talk about the Raiders right now, about Randy being here.
