More comments from Bill Belichick’s wrap-up conference call:
On if he considered a challenge on the play in which Pierre Woods appeared to recover a fumble. “The officials ruled that there wasn’t any clear-cut possession and Mike Carey was standing right there in front of it. I can’t imagine that he would have ruled it any differently than the way he did when he’s standing right on top of the play. So I really didn’t give it much thought. I didn’t think about anything more than the next play at that point.”
On if it is difficult to accentuate the positives of the season due to the ending. “It’s pretty much over. It’s time to move on. I’m not going to sit here and dwell on anything, good or bad, that happened in the past. It’s over. It is what it is. We played our last game of the ’07 season.”
On what comes next for him and the team. “The first thing is to go back and look at what happened during the season and evaluate our team and our scheme and our players, and then we start moving into the team-building aspect, in free agency, the draft, and personnel decisions, and playbook. All the things like that – things we do to prepare for the offseason program, the spring camps, and ultimately the ’08 season.”
Belichick said he has yet to re-watch the Super Bowl.
One final entry from the call is to come, which will include Belichick’s thoughts on why he left the field with one second to play.
Any comment on why he didn't kick the 48 yard field goal?
Hey Mike - how do you feel after the game? Personally, I mean. As shattered as I, and im sure many other fans, are?
I cant bear to think about the 2008/9 season, I dont know how BB can either. I guess he has to. Just thinking about the final quarter makes me nauseous.
