You know, at the end of the day, you know we didn't execute. Um, you know, we got to be able to first few drives were great, UM, but after that, we guess we have to keep it going. But I mean they're tremendous team. UM, hats off to them. UM, you know, unfortunately, you know, we had an opportunity at the end. And you know, it's tough. I mean it's tough. You know, you love playing this game with you know, your teammates. And that's the toughest part about it, is

it just it stops. And you know thirty one teams feel this at the end of the season. Um. And you know, I'd say the hardest part is you you develop relates. I talk about relationships. You develop relationships with your teammates, and you know, for it to end, it's tough, Um, just being with these guys. But you know we're able to spend time in the locker room after and UM, that's what this game is about, is those relationships years. UM.

You know, I'm not really gonna worry about it right now. UM. I think you know, I'm just gonna do what I can to enjoy the fight back with my teammates. UM. And we'll see what happens. Um. I do know that. You know, we went out there and gave it everything we had to night and that's where you know, everyone's got to keep their um heads held high because that's what's about. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but ultimately, if you give it everything you have. You know, that's

what's about. Other team that last play, what do you say, Oh, dude, just you just tell me you love them. That's what's about. I mean, this game is tough. Not everyone can do it. Um. In those moments, you know, just tell them I love you. Let's keep going. Um. You know, amongst other things that I'll keep to myself. But you know that's the general message.

And that's what this team is about. That's what you know, playing this game is about, is you know, developing those relationships to you know, the tough part about it, like I said, is you know, when it's over, it's over. Um. But you don't. I don't regret anything, you know. I always play this games to develop relationships because you know, that's what makes it strong team. So catches. Yeah, no,

I mean, you know that's part of the game. You know, can't look back and you know, say what if or what? You know. The confidence level in the huddle was extremely confident, like always, UM, you know we go in there, we're getting the huddle every time and expect to march right down the field. You know, we were moving the ball and unfunfortunately it didn't go our way. UM. But that's the tough part about this game. UM. You know, you

you win through losses, you win through wins. UM. You know this is something that you know all of us are going to learn from and we'll be better for UM. I've talked a lot about, you know, my career in the NFL and the ups and downs. You're always learning, UM, and you know we learned a lot tonight and it's tough, but we'll keep moving on. First one, UM, he made a good play. I was trying to take a shot down field. UM, need to get the ball up probably

another foot or so. But you know, I believe it's a lot of Moore made a good play and nobody will see you though. UM. I think the big thing is, you know what the city means to me. UM. You know it's always welcome me and my family. UM. It's really been a joy to live there and be a part of everything, and you know where the green and where the jersey. So no matter what, you can't ever take that away. Um, we were able to do some really special things. So you know, we'll see what happens.

But I'll tell you this, I've enjoyed every single moment and it'll always have a special place in my heart. The city, the fans, the people, um, everything about it. Um. There's nothing like playing in the link, um in front of the crowd. UM, it's it's some of my favorite moments. UM. My family's got to experience them. UM, my daughter's got to experience them. So we'll see what happens. But I've enjoyed everything. Just Uh, what's the play? What's the next play? Um?

You know that's all that matters. UM. I talked about staying in the moment and the you know, playing the super Dome, we have an opportunity to go down and score at the end. Um. The only thing I'm worried about is the play and then recognizing what the defense is doing and then ultimately executing the play. So just simplifying things in my head in those moments so I can go out there and you know, march down the field, back things out there was there. You know, it's just

a miss. Um. You know, you know, different coverage, different things part of this game. You take shots and you know, I think you know, ultimately, UM, you know, I wish I had put a little more air on it. Um. That's the tough part about the game is you know we didn't executing that. I gotta throw a better ball. Ye, two options based upon the coverage or was that straight? Here's a couple of options. Yeah. I mean, ultimately we didn't execute. Did you overall just not feel as sharp

as you have the less stretch? No? I mean, you know, football is a funny sport. It means you know, especially playoff football. Um, it's a it's a it's a it's tough. Um. You know, I felt like we started the game off hot and we were battling the rest of the game, and you know, we gave ourselves an opportunity to you know, win the game at the end, Um, based on how our team was playing. Um, you wish you could get done.

But at the end of the day, you know, New Orleans did a great job of you know, fighting themselves and you know, giving themselves a win, and ultimately they won. So UM, you know, I feel good about you know, everyone's effort. I know everyone gave everything. This is tough just because you know, this is the last time this team will be together. And that's the toughest part about this different this year, because no, it's always difficult. Um. You know, fortunately we were able to be the you know,

one team that finished on top. And that's just an electrifying feeling. Um, it doesn't really matter. Um if you're not that one team. It's tough, like I said, because the locker room changes and that's it. Um. But I know, like you know, we fought our way all season. Um, the guys are resilient, our coaches are resilient. Everyone at the facilities resilient, and they showed that. So everyone should

be very proud of what they were able to accomplish. Ultimately, it wasn't our end goal, but it's like I said, everyone should keep their heads held high because you know, we were able to you know, really pick it up the last four weeks or so, and you know, we were so close all throughout the year. And that that's a testament to the people that you know are in the facility, the guys in the locker room, because most teams aren't able to do that and fight like this

team has. UM. I think the thing right now is just, um, your emotions. You're trying, you're trying to figure them out right now. There's a lot going on. UM. You know, ultimately, all I can really think about is just, you know, you join this fight with my teammates. UM. I know we wish we were continuing on, but you know that's part of this game. UM. You know, just enjoying that seeing them tomorrow, UM, that's really all I'm thinking about. Yeah, I mean, you know, I think i've you know, we'll

see what happens in the future. UM. Once again, I'm not gonna speculate on that, but yeah, I love leading a team. I love you know, being in the huddle. UM, being a part of a locker room. UM. Doing that, that's you know why I play the game. You know, that's that's football. Though. UM, injuries happened. Um we showed that last year. We had a lot of injuries and we were able to overcome them. And you know, ultimately, I know tonight a couple of guys got banged up,

but that's part of the game. UM, next guy up. And you know I've always said, the guys who are injured are still there supporting our team. UM. And that's something that's really special. UM. But you know that's just part of football. You know. That's a that's a tough question. UM. You know it's a it's a really unique situation, UM, something that honestly, I need time to just step back. I love the city. I love playing there. UM. You know, we have three guys in that quarterback room that can

play in this league. UM. And that's the part about it. But I'll tell you this, no matter what happens, UM, it's been a joy, um being playing in the city, being in that quarter room, quarterback room with Carson and Nate. I'm going to work every day. And I know we talked about it earlier, but the city means so much to me and my family, UM, you know, and it

always will you. Carson by your side throughout the runs in the Super Bowl Championship, you spoke out again at this time, was his message to you after this being a loss? Yeah, I think you know, Carson and Nate, Um, we're all together. UM. I think the big thing is just you know, love and support for one another in that quarterback room them. UM, you know, it's it's tough too when the season comes to the end, because you do we do so much together with film, study, UM,

with supporting each other on the sidelines and practice. UM, so for it to come to an end, it's tough. But like I said, you always cherish those relationships you develop, UM going to work every day. So just having Carson and Nate be supported of me this last stretch and when Carson was playing or Nate's playing, like it's just special quarterback room because of the support system and UM, you know something that you know we don't take for granted. UM. I'd say the big thing is, you know, I would

like to thank them, UM, thank them for their support. Uh. You know it's not ultimately you know how we wanted to end the season. But I think you know, this team, um represents what Philly is about. You know, people counted us out and we were able to continue to fight and give us an opportunity to enter the playoffs and then win the first round. And you know, we had an opportunity to win this game, and this team never

stopped fighting. Much like the city of Philadelphia. That's just sort of you know, living in the city, that's just who the people are. But ultimately I just want to say how grateful I am for everything they've done, every moment in the link, and you know, just continue to support the Eagles and there's a bright future here with this team and everyone there. Thank you all,
