It hasn't even been competitive. That's the first thing we're going to have to do is just find a way to stay competitive because these (first two games) have been over by halftime. We saw that last year too (on Halloween). It was 21-3 (Steelers) at the end of the first quarter.

More quotes by Bill Belichick

My overall knowledge of football specifications, the overall process that happens on game day with the footballs is very limited. I 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.

Well this week's all about Seattle, so we've been doing our best to prepare for the Seahawks. I'm doing that, our team's doing that and we'll be ready to go Sunday. That's our focus.

I think everyone is a case-by-case basis. Whatever the circumstances are that come with any individual, they exist and you have to make a determination as to what your comfort level is with that person and the characteristics that they bring.

It's the business that you guys are in too. We try to get as much information as we can and make the best decisions that we can for the football team.

Each decision will be done on a case-by-case basis and we'll make the decision we feel is best for the New England Patriots football team.

I cannot comment on any player who has ongoing criminal charges and legal situations.

Tom's [Brady] personal preferences on his footballs are something he can take about in much better detail and information than I could possibly provide.

I'm a football coach. I'm not a doctor ... They don't call plays, I don't do surgeries. We have a great deal here.
Bill Belichick
Image
We have absolutely done as much work as we can on finding out things like that and we'll try to get all the information that we can as that would apply to any current situation, which I can't talk about.

I told you the one change we would make in the initial start level of the football pressure, but that's really about it.
Bill Belichick
Image
We never use the condition of the footballs as an excuse. We play with whatever or kick with whatever we have to use and that's the way it is.
Bill Belichick
Image
I think it's relatively easy to play defense against a team that can only do one thing. Unfortunately, that's not what we're talking about here with Seattle.

If 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

I'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. However bad we can make them, I make them. Any time that players complain about the quality of the footballs, I make them worse and that stops the complaining.

I 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.
