What a game last night! I was talking to my friend, Michael, during half time and he was commenting on how boring the game was. I disagreed as I was happy to see Brady get hit as many times as he did...and man did the game heat up at the end! While I could elaborate on several aspects of the game, I'm going to comment on one in particular - the terrible display of leadership by Coach Bill Belicheck at the end of the game.
With the possession switching to the Giants on the Pats' failed 4th down conversion, and only 1 second left in the game, Belicheck ran out to shake Tom Caughlin's hand and then walked off the field. He didn't congratulate any of the players or other coaches, he just walked. I'm not a big fan of Belicheck because of who he coaches, but I will admit he is a great coach and produces results. However, last night's display eliminated any and all respect I had for the guy. Sure, the game was over and the Patriot hopes for a perfect season were crushed, but you don't walk off an quit.
To me, that display was the perfect ending to a not-so-perfect season for the Patriots.

I agree 100% and said the same thing when it happened. I know he was very disappointed to lose like that and I almost felt bad for the Pats until he did that. As soon as that happened I said I hope that Belichick never makes it back to another Superbowl and that he has to remember that moment for the rest of his life... not really an attitude of grace, but it is how I felt.
