Bill Belichick Q&A, 10/29

[Christopher_Price]

Thanks to the Patriots’ PR staff, here’s the complete transcript of Bill Belichick’s Q&A with the media this morning at Gillette Stadium:BB: Kind of following up on what I said yesterday after the game, I thought that individually and in units our team played well yesterday. [The] players did a good job. We had a [...]

As always, thanks Chris. No wonder a majority of the brightest coaches have short tempers with the media. It is always fascinating reading the idiotic questions they ask coaches. They ask ridiculously stupid questions and when it is apparent that they are annoying the coach, they continue with the same line of questioning...do these clowns actually go to college and attend journalism classes?

My 2 favs:

Q: When you get into a game with the Colts, how much pressure does their offense put on your offense to go out and score points?
BB: I don’t know. I mean, our offense is always trying to score points. Why else would they go out on the field? That’s their job. Their job is to go out there and score points. That’s what the offense’s job is. It’s their job every week.

And I can just imagine the expression on BB's face during this exchange:

Q: What went into the decision to use Matt Gutierrez on special teams? I know you did it some in the preseason.
BB: Trying to win. Trying to get our best players out there and trying to build depth on the roster, get guys to do things that they can do to help us win. That’s what goes into every decision.

Q: Did he lobby for that?
BB: He’s a rookie.

Q: Rookies don’t lobby for anything?
BB: Rookies do what they’re told. They try to learn what to do and do what they’re told.

Priceless!

Why do so many 'journalists' act like they've never ever been to or read a BB press conf? Talk about not doing your homework. I think it's a viscerial disdain and utter disrespect for the all too common today slacker mentalitity that makes BB suffer these fools so poorly.

Not you Chris.

Hot coffee out my nose when I read these comments......priceless Belichick.

Q: Several players said yesterday in the post game locker room that the Colts are the best team in football. Some people might not agree with that, but whatever. Do you think they’re the best team.
BB: They’ve won however many straight, won a championship last year, they haven’t been beaten since then, they’ve won however many straight at home. That’s more than anybody else can say. That would put them number one in my book.

And he closes with a complete non bulletin board mention of the Colts

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

That's not modesty, that's fact. The Colts have outplayed us for 2 years and in the process won the SB as the best team in the NFL.
Oh, BTW that domination ends Sunday.

Agreed, my comment was that he wasn't providing any bulletin board materials for the Colts locker room.
