Tom Brady, Bill Belichick Remain in State of Shock on Monday

This is about as uncomfortable a feeling for New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady as either one can possibly imagine, yet one that has arrived more frequently than either would care to admit.

For the third time in the last four years, Belichick and Brady were left to answer questions about what went wrong following another unexpected playoff loss -- and the other year (2008) when Brady was lost for the season to a knee injury suffered in the opener, the Patriots didn't even make it into the postseason. The fact that this very promising 14-2 season came to an end at the hands of the New York Jets no doubt stung more than any of the others, except for the loss in Super Bowl XLII.

Brady after the game compared coming to the realization that the season is over to running on a treadmill at 10 miles-per-hour and having someone hit the stop button and then he elaborated during his weekly appearance on WEEI's Dennis & Callahan Show.

"It's very strange. It just ends very abruptly," he said. "I think you're always hoping that you're in that final game of the year. I haven't put any thought into anything really."

When he was finished addressing the media at the stadium, Brady was seen sobbing on the shoulder of teammate Wes Welker, his leading wide receiver. So it was no surprise to hear that he did not sleep well Sunday night.

"Believe me, every Patriot player that was in uniform yesterday didn't sleep well last night knowing that we didn't do what we needed to do to win the game," Brady said. "And certainly, I'm right at the top of the list in my disappointment in myself, that I really let the team down and didn't play the way I was capable. ... It was futile at about 2.

"I'm sure a lot of guys were pretty restless. I was certainly one of them. It was just a rough night, a rough day. Certainly, we had much higher expectations. We just didn't get the job done. Obviously, it was a great regular season, but we didn't win the game that mattered most."

For Belichick, being reminded that he and his coaching staff will travel to Hawaii the week before the Super Bowl to coach the AFC squad in the Pro Bowl was of very little consolation.

"It's definitely not where we want to be but we'll go out there and do it," he said.

Belichick also shrugged off suggestions that his defense was victimized by being young and inexperienced.

"I think that collectively as a team we lost," he said. "I think that everybody who played in the game has plays they'd like to have back. ... In that game I think there's something that each and every one of us who participated in the game would like to have back. I'd include veteran players in there with everyone else."

And they will have the entire offseason to think about that now.

Patriot haters are the least intelligent people I've ever seen.

. Say one truthful thing about the patriots and it makes you less intelligent. That is why no one can stand patriot fans. Can't take criticism at all.

[lenahanj]

bahahah i hate the jets but hate the Brady so much more

Why insult people then?

[trendon]

Why insult people then?

Because, and it isn't personal, the level of vitriol I have seen spew from people's mouths (fingers) is confusing and often makes no sense. I wish the "crappy and arrogant" Tom Brady was quarterbacking my team (Bills). In fact, I don't understand why I don't hate the Patriots considering they pants us every single season, often on national TV where any number of Bills can be seen pissing down their legs.

[eberetta1]

I haven't cried this hard since Jimmy Connors lost to John McEnroe in tennis.

[spongerat]

i heard this on sportsradio here in boston monday. Could be true I guess, brady does get emotional. Belichik shouldn't have sat welker

[Bartmeister]

toooo funnny lol

[Bartmeister]

I feel so bad for him, NOT! lol

[Inspirited]

Don't know why coach gave the Jets 7 points right before the half.

[the_situation]

wow....they didnt even show up...would have hammered jets if they did

[Art Vandeleigh]

Benching Welker at the start of the game was not the wisest thing to do in the playoffs.

No, it was not
It meant Rex has won the war of words

[Dark Horse]

Rex won the coaching battle. The Patriots were supposed to have all these new plays. After the first drive, which ended in an INT, the only new play that stood out was the botched fake punt. By the time the second half came around they were completely predictable to the Jets and Brady had nowhere to go.

[SBRMAN23]

Welker wouldn't of.stopped the screen.pass thrown by Brady that.was picked so.first possession or not they got pretty much dominated Haha F that Beiber look alike crying like he is 16

Couldn't have said it better, I believe he and the wife knock down somewhere around a 130 mil a year, with their own G5. Does anyone here in this thread think he really gives a ****? I'll bet everything I own, he doesn't.
