Naturally, Belichick and his players have focused their critical eyes on tapes of Saturday night's game, searching for anything that went wrong. Brady the perfectionist lamented over two first-half drives that ended in 23-yard field goals by rookie Stephen Gostkowski; wasted touchdown-scoring opportunities that could have made the final score 49-0.
"We have to do better in the red zone," said Brady, who gave way to backup Matt Cassel with 5:03 left in the third quarter after the score reached 27-0.
"Once we take a look at the film, it may not be as good as we think it is," said linebacker Rosevelt Colvin about the shutout performance of the defense.
