All Things Patriots!

Wallace Matthews, New York Newsday: "...he took the walk that true losers take, the walk of shame, off the field and up the tunnel and out of any claim he once may have had to a sense of dignity or honor or sportsmanship."

George Willis, New York Post: "It's reasonable to assume if Belichick was filming signals during the first game of the season it's something he felt comfortable with, and you only gain comfort through repetition."

Bob Raissman, New York Daily News: "In the real world, Belichick's exit is a non-issue."

Tim Smith, New York Daily News: "Maybe we should forgive Belichick for heading to the locker room before the game was over. He didn't get any practice losing this season - until last night...Maybe Belichick had taken a lesson from the Receiver, Moss, who once left a game before the final gun with Minnesota."

Armando Salguero, Miami Herald: "The Patriots that returned home Monday merely 18-1 after losing to the Giants will continue to be a good team. They will continue to be a playoff-caliber club as long as Tom Brady is their quarterback and Bill Belichick, regardless of his record as a cheater, is their coach...But champions? Or even an undisputed AFC power? No way, because too much bad news is coming...The truth is New England's offseason promises to be more challenging than those final two minutes that lost them the Super Bowl."

Tom E. Curran, NBCSports.com: Belichick's legacy? It changed a little. He's still as good as any coach has ever been - Lombardi, Walsh, Noll - but the Patriots got outschemed and outexecuted on Sunday. In the biggest game of his life, his team didn't do what it has done 99.9 percent of the time. He takes a hit for that.
