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.

More quotes by Bill Belichick
When you get wet, it usually means something good.
Bill Belichick
There is an old saying about the strength of the wolf is the pack, and I think there is a lot of truth to that. On a football team, it’s not the strength of the individual players, but it is the strength of the unit and how they all function together.
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
Mental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it's not the best thing for you.
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
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
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 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 Belichick
You get the job done or you don't.
Bill Belichick
I'm not really worried about the other 31 teams.
Bill Belichick
I cannot comment on any player who has ongoing criminal charges and legal situations.
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
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
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 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
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
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.
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
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
I'm trying to coach the team and that's what I want to do.
