Head Coach Bill Belichick 11/12: "Too many missed opportunities"

Bill Belichick (0:01)

All right, well, obviously at this point in the game, similar theme that we've had at other games this year, is too many missed opportunities in all three phases of the game. So, just gotta play better situational football and do a better job taking advantage of the opportunities that we have. We just didn't do a good enough job today.

SPEAKER_2 (0:23)

Bill, just ahead of the five week and going to the Giants, we've seen you bench back Bill this afternoon.

Bill Belichick (0:29)

Is this the future of back Joe with the business or are we seeing a return again to his bench? Yeah, we'll worry about it next week, next week. Game just finished like a half hour ago.

SPEAKER_2 (0:38)

Cole Yang on the front row.

Bill Belichick (0:44)

Yeah, I just thought it was time for a change.

SPEAKER_2 (0:48)

Mike Rees on the front row, far right, Bill, was any of that related to injury?

Bill Belichick (0:53)

Yeah, look, I made the decision. That's what it was.

We'll deal with it next week, next week.

SPEAKER_2 (1:02)

Bill, do you still have faith in Matt Jones as your quarterback?

Bill Belichick (1:05)

I have faith in all our players.

SPEAKER_2 (1:14)

All right, we're in the third row and the middle. What do you think about the German fans?

Bill Belichick (1:19)

Yeah, it was good. It was good energy in the stadium.

It was a good day.

SPEAKER_2 (1:26)

Back to Mike Rees in the front row. Bill, on the all-out punt rush, is that the way that you wanted to play that play?

Bill Belichick (1:34)

Um, not exactly, but yeah, I mean, he had a good ball.

SPEAKER_2 (1:41)

But you definitely didn't want to return or back.

Bill Belichick (1:45)

Well, there are a couple of different options in the play, but, you know, punter ended up hitting a good ball. Sanchez had a good ball. It got a good roll on it. So.

Yeah, again, we'll deal with it next week, next week.

SPEAKER_2 (2:05)

Front row. Coach, do you happen to return to the game from the ZQA agents?

Bill Belichick (2:11)

Look, I think a lot of players are, you know, are playing pretty good football, but, you know, as a team, we're just not doing enough things that we need to do to win. So, so everybody needs to do better. Simple as that.

SPEAKER_2 (2:24)

A couple of questions here in the front row. Coach, how much does the talk about your job security bother you?

Bill Belichick (2:30)

Yeah, I'm just doing the best I can every day.

SPEAKER_2 (2:38)

Bill, Robert Kraft was on NFL Network for the game. He talked about this season. He said it's been really disappointing, and I hope things will be better. Are those sentiments he's expressed to you directly?

Bill Belichick (2:49)

Yeah, I think we all feel that way. I think we're all disappointed this season.

But we'll keep going here. We've got seven games to go. And we'll be ready to go next weekend, so, guys.
