Do you have a different opinion to my opinion on BBs statements to the press?

Belichick gave Denver a TON of credit in the post-game conference. He made it very clear that he has tons of respect for them as a team. He also made that very clear in the pre-game conferences. I think holding the opinion that the better team lost is a valid opinion, it's not like he claimed Denver sucks or they cheated or something. He didn't even blame the officiating.

The Watson hit has been analyzed more than the Zapruter film and anyone who says they can definitively say what happen is simply lying.
Ifs and buts candy and nuts...
The point isn't whether the "better team" subject can be debated - this ain't China - it's whether an NFL head coach should be coming out saying such things.

wistahpatsfan said:I also heard Brady saying that on EEI as well, but he was more straight-up about it. Both BB and TB are full of crap and would be pissed-off if another coach-QB said that or would laugh at them dismissively. A real Pats fan could think we're the better team while losing to a worse team, but saying so publicly as the QB or HC of the NEP is weak IMO.

It's not even as if our turnovers were forced by great plays from the broncos. Faulk's fumble was from a weak outstretched arm, not a huge hit or big rip on the ball. We know faulk has the fumble problem and it showed at the wrong time. Brown muffed the punt that was right in his hands. Brady made a bad decision and unless bailey has butter fingers it's his ball to catch.
The broncos scored 24 points only having to drive 24 yards. The other times we didn't turn the ball over or have a horrible PI call and they actually had to put together sustaned drives, they got 260 yards and only 3 points.
But oh well, it's the playoffs, win or go home. Just a reminder of how special what they have been able to do over the past 4 years really was. And it's not even close to being done IMO. Kraft wanted to be like the 9ers, with over a decade of at least being a serious competitor and I think that's what we'll get.

I mean, think about it. The refs essentially gave them 17 points.
