    I just took it as he wanted to congratulate Coughlin before he left the field to him and his players to celebrate. Belichick is a jackass but there was nothing wrong here..

    Belichick has left the building...a second early

    February 4, 2008 12:03 AM


    Patriots coach Bill Belichick didn't stick around long enough to watch the Giants celebrate their 17-14 victory. When Tom Brady's Hail Mary pass to Randy Moss fell incomplete with a second to go, Belichick made a beeline to greet Giants coach Tom Coughlin before proceeding directly to the locker room.

    The only problem is that NFL rules require that the entire game be played out. Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady were long gone, but the Patriots defense had to jog back onto the field. After the game, linebacker Junior Seau told me he was almost to the locker room when someone said the game wasn't over. Seau came jogging out of the tunnel for the final play. Belichick cooled his heels in the locker room.

    He was asked why he left the field with time left on the clock, but I don't think he understood the question. By my count, Belichick didn't have an answer longer than eight words in his post-game news conference.

    In his opening statement, he said: "Congratulations to the Giants. They made some plays there at the end and we didn't. It's disappointing."

    He then repeated eight different variations of that statement. The smug look that has helped make him one of the great villains in sports was on display, but his mind wasn't. It was like the questions weren't even registering.

    One of the players told me that Belichick couldn't come up with anything to say in the postgame locker room. He basically acknowledged that it was a disappointing loss and headed to the interview podium.

    I've never seen a coach arrive for his interview that quickly. The first question asked was about the Boston Herald report Saturday indicating the Patriots filmed a Rams walkthrough before the 2001 Super Bowl. A reporter wanted him to respond to the Rams' comments on the report.

    "I haven't heard them," he said.

    Belichick was then questioned about his decision to go for it on fourth-and-13 in the third quarter rather than attempt a 49-yard field goal. Tom Brady tried a deep pass to Jabar Gaffney on the play that sailed out of bounds.

    "Yeah, but it was a 50-yard field goal," he said before muttering something about field position.

    The only risk involved was giving the Giants the ball at the 39-yard line instead of the 31. At that point, the Giants had only managed to put three points on the board. How do you give up a scoring opportunity over eight lousy yards?

    Even Belichick's mentor Bill Parcells, who is consumed with field position, wouldn't pass up that opportunity. It was a bone-headed move at a crucial point in the game.

    Oh, and here's Belichick's longest response: "I mean look, they played well. They made some plays, we made some plays. In the end, they made a couple more than we did."

    The good news is that Belichick got an early jump on the offseason. Back with much, much more in a few moments.

    Belichick Bolts Before Game Ends

    GLENDALE, Arizona (Feb. 4) - A single second showed on the clock - a tick away from a Giant upset.

    Before Eli Manning could take a final knee to seal New York's 17-14 upset victory Sunday night, Patriots coach Bill Belichick ran onto the field for a quick handshake with Giants coach Tom Coughlin and made a beeline for the locker room.


    The so-called genius coach with the three Super Bowl rings appeared little more than a poor sport.

    "I mean, look, they played well," Belichick said. "They made some plays. We made some plays. In the end, they made a couple more than we did."

    They sure did, and that should alarm Belichick. He put together perhaps the best team the NFL has seen in a long time, setting records galore on offense with Tom Brady and Randy Moss.

    In the end, New England came up short - the first time a Belichick-coached team didn't win when it got to the Super Bowl. Even worse, it happened when the Patriots were looking to join the 1972 Dolphins as the only NFL teams to finish a season undefeated.

    The disappointment was clear on the faces of all the Patriots, who spoke in hushed tones and shook their heads in disbelief while talking after the loss. With all that was on the line, could this have been the worst loss of Belichick's coaching career?

    "I don't rank them," Belichick said. "It's disappointing."

    Perfection took a back seat for the Patriots, and now it's back to the drawing board for Belichick.

    Moss is among the Patriots' handful of free agents, but said he'd like to finish his career with New England. Safety Rodney Harrison and linebackers Junior Seau and Tedy Bruschi might have played their last games in the NFL.

    There will be changes, for sure - and Belichick has an entire winter to brood about missing out on football immortality. Maybe he'll be comforted by Brady, who tried to spin things after the game.

    "Tonight doesn't take away from anything we have done over the course of the season," Brady said. "We had a great year. It's just unfortunate that tonight turned out the way it did."

    A lot of the struggles on offense had to do with New England's heralded offensive line allowing a season-high five sacks. Coming in, Brady had been sacked a career-low 24 times playing behind a line that produced three Pro Bowlers in center Dan Koppen, left tackle Matt Light and left guard Logan Mankins.

    Then, disaster struck - in the form of an all-out, swarming defensive attack by the Giants - in the worst possible setting. It was the first time Brady had been sacked as many as five times since the New York Jets did it on Sept. 21, 2003.

    "It's one of those things where they have a great front seven," Koppen said. "They have tremendous players up there and they just outplayed us."

    The offense couldn't get going, other than Wes Welker - who tied a Super Bowl record with 11 catches - mainly because Brady had no time behind the line.

    "I think their intensity from the beginning snap to the end of the game was really higher than ours," Moss said. "We just couldn't meet that intensity."

    The season started with a scandal - "Spygate" cost Belichick and the Patriots a draft pick, $750,000 and, to some, their credibility - and ended with reports of more foul play as a former member of the Patriots' video staff claimed he taped the St. Louis Rams' last walkthrough before they played in the 2002 Super Bowl.

    It's all enough for Belichick and the Patriots to head into the offseason hoping to quickly forget a season that was a win from perfection.

    "I can't let that loss take away from everything that happened this season," Harrison said. "It isn't just about wins and losses. It's about how we prepared and learned what we were as players and the camaraderie we formed."

    If he's going to lose, Bill Belichick would rather be elsewhere

    On more than one occasion this year, Bill Belichick and the Patriots have run up the score on an overmatched opponent, and forced an opposing coach to sit there and watch his beaten team go through the motions while their heineys were being handed to them.

    But when the shoe's on the other foot, and Bill Belichick's team has been beaten, he can't sit there and take the pain for a few seconds.

    With :01 left on the clock, and his team just having failed on a last chance 4th down effort, Bill Belichick ran onto the field for a quick handshake, and then bolted for the locker room. Belichick's an important guy and everything, but I wasn't aware that the league had given him the authority to decide when games end.

    There's time left on the clock, his team's been humbled, outplayed, and lost their chance at history ... and Bill Belichick doesn't have the stomach to sit there and absorb the pain until the clock read 0:00.

    That's unsportsmanlike at best, disrespectful at least, and at worst, it makes him a big sissy.

    Because Bill Belichick wanted to go hide when he lost, the field ended up being flooded with people, and the officials had to clear the area before the Giants could take their final snap and make it official. When you lose, you take your loss. You don't leave early because it makes you feel sad inside. Your opponent deserves more respect than that.

    Anyone remember in 2004 when Randy Moss left the sidelines with two seconds left in a Vikings vs. Redskins game? Moss was selfish, a baby, a quitter, didn't respect his teammates, and didn't respect the game. Belichick just did the same thing, but did it on the biggest possible stage, and did it from the position of a leader of men.

    Maybe there's something to be said for the inability to lose well ... most great winners don't lose well, and a sore loser is still a loser.

    But still, if you're an adult, you finish out the game, and you give your opponents the stage and the respect they deserve.

    That last article reminded me... ESPN did there whole story on Patriot players and BB in the middle of the season, talking about belichickenshit serving his club "Humble pie" after every game.. Guess he doesn't buy into his own words.

    well someone is talking about it, it was something i commented on last night when it happened and you know what it does matter he should be beaten to death about it cause like has been said if you are gonna beat the hell out of randy moss for the same thing you better beat the hell out of him, even more as yes it was the superbowl and was the head coach who took off.

    but i am not surprised, all their smug bullshit through this season both him and brady and a number of the other tools they have up there ( i really dont like any of them other than maroney and faulk) they couldnt bother to finish out the game. it was disrespectful to the giants, to the fans, to the nfl but most of all to his team cause i know if my coach decided to leave me out there and not bother i would be an angry player. and while you may not hear too much about it now these guys will surely think about it at some point in the near future.


    i really feel as though last night was really the culmination of the patriots "dynasty" as they suffered a huge defeat there are a number of them who may not be back next year, people other than the nfl are looking pretty close at some of the tactics taht these cheaters have used over the last 7 years..... i dont know it just seemed to me that things were beginning to line up for there to only be 50 patriots fans in connecticut again in 3 or 4 years.

    when things are good, he's right there looking to embarrass the other team as much as possible. When he loses, he's as sore a loser as you'll ever find.

    Doesn't matter. Just "forfeiting" is not an option, or if it is, its classless one. You wait the extra second, let the team come out and kneel, and sit there and take your defeat. You don't just end the game when you think it should be over. That was a Buddy Ryan move.

    The scumbag also reportedly didnt even give his team a speech after the game. Just ran like a weasel.

    What makes this so big is that here is a coach that preached all for one and one for all, team first and foremost, no individuals only team etc and then he abandons his "Losers" on the biggest stage the first chance he gets. I guess all those speeches ring a bit more hollow now. HE LIED TO HIS TEAM. By running off the field like that he showed that there is nothing more important than HIM. The players are NOTHING. If they cannot be victorious, they don't deserve HIM being there. Think about all those players that played through and came back from life threatening injuries. They meant NOTHING to HIM. Only his OWN personal glory is what mattered no matter what he said in the locker room. Now the truth is finally out there for all to see. Nothing worse than having a lie exposed and being shown to be a hypocrite.

    Actually, I was rooting for the "fake knee throw for the end-zone" play. With their coach already in the locker room, it would have been fitting.

    He didnt say anything in the locker room. Players reported that he just left for his press conference and then went home without saying anything or making a speech. No one even saw him.

    I'm talking about all season (and in the past). As for yesterdays game, I guess he felt that those "Losers" didn't deserve any of his time or effort.

    I see no problem with it. Everyone seemed to assume the clock had expired. He went and congratulated Coughlin. The field was already covered in people. This is just nitpicking.
