It has been a weird NFL season through the first 15 weeks, but somehow it got even stranger on Monday morning when Bill Belichick stepped up to the podium for his post-game press conference.
Belichick started his weekly presser off by giving a rare apology to the media for being short with his answers following the team’s loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday.
“I’ll just start off here; look, fellas, I apologize if it seemed like I was a little short with you after the game. Obviously a frustrating game,” Belichick said. “Down 20-0. Didn’t do anything well enough. I mean, there isn’t really much to say at that point without watching the film.
“Clearly, we had problems in every area. So there’s no simple answer. Every play could have been better. Every area of coaching could have been better. Every area of playing could have been better. Any of that would have helped. Not really trying to be short, but honestly, there wasn’t much to say. I don’t know that there’s a whole lot more to say now. But it’s not your fault. It was a frustrating game.”
Are we living in an alternate universe? What exactly is going here?
The Patriots are currently 9-5 on the season. Up next for New England is a meeting with the Buffalo Bills this weekend.
