We’ll continue to work hard to do a better job in every area going forward. I don’t know where those little things will come from but we’ll continue to be diligent on them.

BILL BELICHICKI’m not going to be able to talk about the people who are involved specifically in any ongoing judicial process.
BILL BELICHICKI am who I am. In the end, I feel that what I’m accountable for is doing a good job as a football coach.
BILL BELICHICKI cannot comment on any player who has ongoing criminal charges and legal situations.
BILL BELICHICKWhatever success I’ve had it is because I’ve tried to understand the situation of the player. I think the coach’s duty is to avoid complicating matters.
BILL BELICHICKI’ve learned about the inflation range situation. Obviously with our footballs being inflated to the 12.5-pound range, any deflation would then take us under that specification limit.
BILL BELICHICKThis is the end of this subject for me for a long time.
BILL BELICHICKI had no knowledge of the various steps involved in the game balls and the process that happened between when they were prepared and went to the officials and went to the game. So, I’ve learned a lot about that.
BILL BELICHICKThere are no shortcuts to building a team each season. You build the foundation brick by brick.
BILL BELICHICKSome guys, football comes really easy to them; they can see what all 22 players are doing, can see what all 11 guys are doing on their side of the ball, how it all fits together. It’s easy for them.
BILL BELICHICKThe more things we do together, talk about together, work together on, the closer we become and the more we rely on each other. I feel like our relationship is very close and continues to grow closer every year as we grow older together.
BILL BELICHICKI would say that during the course of the game, I honestly never – it probably has happened on an incomplete pass or something – but I’ve never touched a game ball. It’s not something I have any familiarity with on that.
BILL BELICHICKWe do the same thing with all our players. We take a look, as I said, at their personal family life, we look at the history of what they’ve done in high school and college.
BILL BELICHICKNot all teams use the same tests and certainly those tests are far from being 100 percent as well. It’s part of the process.
BILL BELICHICKI’m sure that any current or past player of mine would tell you that the balls we practice with are as bad as they can be: wet, sticky, cold, slippery.
BILL BELICHICKIf you sit back & spend too much time feeling good about what you did in the past, you’re going to come up short next time
