Tom Brady Games Quotations

I think that at the start of a game, you're always playing to win, and then maybe if you're ahead late in the game, you start playing not to lose. The true competitors, though, are the ones who always play to win.

I play a complicated position in an intensely team-oriented game.

We're playing more consistently over the course of 60 minutes. I think there were times in games that we played better than others. We just didn't play well for very long.

If you're looking back at last year and comparing it to this year, it's too tough to compare, because it's a very different team, ... Our identity has been four preseason games and two regular season games, and we really haven't executed the way I think we're capable, and to the expectation of our coaches.

I approach every week the same. I think I've always tried to be very professional to how I approach the game, my preparation. Every game is important.

The only thing I really like doing during the week is getting ready to play the game.

With football, you can have up to 28 guys you consider starters, and if they can pick up the slack when some aren't playing so well, you don't have to turn those two-game losing streaks into six-game losing streaks.

If you waste your time and energy on things that don't matter in the outcome of the game, then when you get to the game you're not going to give your teammates the best that you have to offer.
