A weepy Tommy boy

This is about as uncomfortable a feeling for New England Patriots
coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady as either one can
possibly imagine, yet one that has arrived more frequently than either
would care to admit.
For the third time in the last four years, Belichick and Brady were
left to answer questions about what went wrong following another
unexpected playoff loss -- and the other year (2008) when Brady was
lost for the season to a knee injury suffered in the opener, the
Patriots didn't even make it into the postseason. The fact that this
very promising 14-2 season came to an end at the hands of the New York
Jets no doubt stung more than any of the others, except for the loss
in Super Bowl XLII.
Brady after the game compared coming to the realization that the
season is over to running on a treadmill at 10 miles-per-hour and
having someone hit the stop button and then he elaborated during his
weekly appearance on WEEI's Dennis & Callahan Show.
"It's very strange. It just ends very abruptly," he said. "I think
you're always hoping that you're in that final game of the year. I
haven't put any thought into anything really."
*******>>>>>>When he was finished addressing the media at the stadium,
Brady was seen sobbing on the shoulder of teammate Wes Welker, his
leading wide receiver<<<<<<<********
So it was no surprise to hear that he did not sleep well Sunday night.
"Believe me, every Patriot player that was in uniform yesterday didn't
sleep well last night knowing that we didn't do what we needed to do
to win the game," Brady said. "And certainly, I'm right at the top of
the list in my disappointment in myself, that I really let the team
down and didn't play the way I was capable. ... It was futile at about
2.
"I'm sure a lot of guys were pretty restless. I was certainly one of
them. It was just a rough night, a rough day. Certainly, we had much
higher expectations. We just didn't get the job done. Obviously, it
was a great regular season, but we didn't win the game that mattered
most."
For Belichick, being reminded that he and his coaching staff will
travel to Hawaii the week before the Super Bowl to coach the AFC squad
in the Pro Bowl was of very little consolation.
"It's definitely not where we want to be but we'll go out there and do
it," he said.
Belichick also shrugged off suggestions that his defense was
victimized by being young and inexperienced.
"I think that collectively as a team we lost," he said. "I think that
everybody who played in the game has plays they'd like to have
back. ... In that game I think there's something that each and every
one of us who participated in the game would like to have back. I'd
include veteran players in there with everyone else."
And they will have the entire offseason to think about that now.
