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.

More quotes by Bill Belichick
To me the footballs are approved by the league and game officials pregame and we play with what's out there. That's the only way that I have ever thought about that.
Bill Belichick
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.
Bill Belichick
All sources are not equal. When you get information, you take the information, you evaluate it, and you do the best you can with it. So, there's a variance in the quality and the amount of the information. It's a case-by-case basis. Each one's different. There's no set formulas.
Bill Belichick
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.
Bill Belichick
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.
Bill Belichick
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.
Bill Belichick
Not 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 Belichick
I obviously understand that each team has the opportunity to prepare the balls the way they want, give them to the officials and the game officials either approve or disapprove the balls. That really was the end of it for me until I learned a little bit more about this .
Bill Belichick
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.
Bill Belichick
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.
Bill Belichick
When you get wet, it usually means something good.
Bill Belichick
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.
Bill Belichick
We've been cooperative with the NFL investigation. We'll continue to do so and we will turn all our attention and focus on to the Seattle Seahawks, a very well coached, talented, tough, competitive football team.
Bill Belichick
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
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
Bill Belichick
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.
Bill Belichick
That has never been a priority for me and I want the players to deal with a harder situation in practice than they'll ever have to deal with in the game. Maybe that's part of our ball security philosophy.
Bill Belichick
I'm trying to coach the team and that's what I want to do.
Bill Belichick
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.
Bill Belichick
I'm not really worried about the other 31 teams.
