On what he has to say to the team moving forward after losing 4 of their last 6 heading into the postseason:<\/b><\/p>\n
Well, we just have to get better. \u00a0So I think it will give us the chance to evaluate kind of where we\u2019re at and see the things that we need to do better as a team so we can try to win these games. \u00a0It\u2019s obviously a tough sport and you see where you\u2019re at after 16 games and just keep fighting on.<\/span><\/p>\n On if this was a 100% effort to win this game today:<\/b><\/p>\n Absolutely. \u00a0Yeah.<\/span><\/p>\n On the fact it doesn\u2019t look consistent at times when they don\u2019t do the things that they\u2019re best at:<\/b><\/p>\n Yeah, we\u2019re trying to be effective and move the ball down the field and score points, we\u2019re just not doing a very good job of it, so I think that\u2019s what it comes down to. \u00a0We\u2019re just not doing enough on offense to be productive.<\/span><\/p>\n On how they handled the first half after seeing them run the football so much and if that was the plan coming in:<\/b><\/p>\n Yeah, I think [it\u2019s] just the way things went. \u00a0I wish we would have been more productive with whatever we chose to do. \u00a0So it just wasn\u2019t a very good game.<\/span><\/p>\n On if it was just what they liked about Miami\u2019s defense, just being able to run on them and if that was the idea coming in:<\/b><\/p>\n No, I think we always want to be balanced with what we do. \u00a0Sometimes it becomes more proportionate pass-wise to run-wise and vice-versa. \u00a0So we\u2019re going to have to do both of those things well in a couple weeks regardless of who we play. \u00a0We\u2019re going to have to run it well, we\u2019re going to have to throw it well, everyone is going to have to contribute, take advantage of opportunities when we get them.<\/span><\/p>\n On the hit in the second-quarter and if he can take us through what happened there:<\/b><\/p>\n Yeah, I didn\u2019t see the replay, so I\u2019m going to be anxious to see it.<\/span><\/p>\n On how much pain he\u2019s in right now:<\/b><\/p>\n I\u2019m pretty sore, yeah. But it will be all right.<\/span><\/p>\n On if he said he\u2019s anxious to see it because it was a low hit:<\/b><\/p>\n No, I just didn\u2019t see it, so I threw the ball away, yeah.<\/span><\/p>\n On if he\u2019s comfortable with where they\u2019re at after Thanksgiving:<\/b><\/p>\n Well, we have to play well going forward so I think we\u2019re at where we\u2019re at based on a lot of things and we have to play well going forward if we want to make anything of our season.<\/span><\/p>\n On how he balances the reality of the situation with losing 4-of-6 and dealing with all the injuries and the flipside of his teammates saying they have to hit the reset button:<\/b><\/p>\n We\u2019ve just got to play well two weeks from now, that\u2019s all that really matters. \u00a0It\u2019s going to be one game, we\u2019ve got to play well, that\u2019s what our whole season is going to come down to. \u00a0Nothing over the last six weeks is going to matter. \u00a0Nothing over the last sixteen weeks is going to matter. \u00a0What\u2019s going to matter is how well we play in two weeks, that\u2019s what\u2019s going to matter. \u00a0So we\u2019ve got to try to play as well as we can.<\/span><\/p>\n On what was going on with Vernon out there today and if anything was going on between the two, if anything was being said:<\/b><\/p>\n No, he\u2019s a great player. \u00a0They can get after the quarterback so I thought they played well today.<\/span><\/p>\n On if he thought that first hit that was flagged was unnecessary:<\/b><\/p>\n I\u2019m not sure, I didn\u2019t \u2026 I don\u2019t even remember that one. \u00a0That was …<\/span><\/p>\n On the fact he went after the official on one of them, and that he was seen barking at the officials:<\/b><\/p>\n I always do, don\u2019t I? \u00a0I\u2019m always trying to get a flag somehow. \u00a0It hasn\u2019t worked very well this year.<\/span><\/p>\n Thank you guys.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tom Brady speaks to the media following the Patriots loss to Miami on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4039,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[237],"tags":[464,45,44,238,739,13,726],"class_list":["post-4034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-patriots-transcripts","tag-2015-patriots-season","tag-miami-dolphins","tag-new-england-patriots","tag-postgame-transcript","tag-press-conferences","tag-tom-brady","tag-week-17"],"yoast_head":"\n
