BB press conference today

http://www.boston.com/sports/footbal...day_after.html

Quote:

When the Patriots threw incomplete on third and 2, Belichick had already decided the Patriots would go for it on fourth. But a couple of players on the punt team trickled on to the field, and offensive players who saw them started running off. The play forced the Patriots to call their final timeout, which would prevent them from challenging the spot after Kevin Faulk's catch on fourth down.

"That wasn’t cleanly handled," Belichick said. "I’ll take responsibility."

Quite interesting that they didnt think it was a 4 down thing before the 3rd down play

Bill's press conferences are like watching a blank screen He never says anything that he considers relevant. Instant turn off. Great coach lousy in public relations.

It makes sense as they got to 3rd and 2. Had it been 3rd and 10 they would have punted, I am sure. Of course they still should have run on 3rd and 2.

You can almost sense that he was upset with not making it on third down, that his impulses told him to do it again.

If he already KNEW he was going for it on 4rd down; they should have run it on 3rd down and at worse it would have been 4th and 1.
