'Already time to move on'

Posted by Mike Reiss, Globe Staff February 5, 2008 03:12 PM

Patriots coach Bill Belichick held a conference call with Patriots reporters today (3 p.m.) and opened with the following remarks:

"As I said after the game, it's a disappointing end to a lot of good things that happened this season. Players did a great job all year long. We played a lot of good football, but we're certainly disappointed about the way it ended. We came so close, but it just didn't work out. It takes a lot to get to this point, but now it's starting over, into the '08 season, it's already time to move on. We're into the offseason and that's just the way it is. We'll start moving ahead toward next year."

More from the call to come.

  1. What about the fact that you were out-coached? Or how you classlessly represented yourself and the organization at the end of the game?

  1. From a longtime Patriots fan, I am never surprised by BB's lack of class, and his arrogance.

  1. To make all of us feel better, read this -

    Don Shula lost 4 Superbowls.

    Jan. 12, 1969
    Super Bowl III
    New York 16, Baltimore 7
    This one was the one in which Joe Namath guaranteed a Jets win and delivered it! This one is one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl. The biggest one of all time was Super Bowl Super Bowl XXXII (John Elway and Denver Broncos defeated Brett Favre and Greenbay Packers 31-24).

    Jan. 16, 1972
    Super Bowl VI
    Dallas 24, Miami 3

    Jan, 30, 1983
    Super Bowl XVII
    Washington 27, Miami 17

    Jan. 20, 1985
    Super Bowl XIX
    San Francisco 38, Miami 16

    He is in elite company of Bud Grant, Dan Reeves and Marv Levy (each lost 4 super bowls)!

    At this point, Bill Bellichick's record is better.
