Here's a transcript from Tom Brady's press conference following the Patriots loss to Baltimore Sunday night:
On his thoughts on how the offense played:
Well we just didn't move the ball consistently enough to score points, score touchdowns. They're a good defense, they play well at home. Just really didn't take advantage of our opportunities."
On the play of Wes Welker:
"He made plenty of plays out there for us. He's a big part of our offense. It's just a matter of continuing to find ways to get him the ball and to continue to spread it around to all the different guys. I mean a lot of guys contributed."
On all the accepted penalties and if it disrupted the flow of the game:
"I don't have any control over that. I just try to do my job."
On the fact they practice a '4-minute' offense and if it was frustrating not to be able to finish the game:
"Yeah. Certainly it's the situational football that we talk about, two minute, four minute, two minute was good before the end of the half, you know, 4-minute we've got a chance to win it and just don't play well when we need to. We've got to play our best when it means the most, and we've got to start winning close games."
On if he felt comfortable in the no huddle and the fact it seemed like it worked well:
"Yeah, I thought it put a lot of pressure on those guys. I mean I don't think they really fooled us very much with their different looks, they just played well when they needed to, especially in the red area."
