1 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:09,480 Speaker 1: Wants to start. Please, Tom, could you just sum up 2 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: your thoughts on the game and just the season coming 3 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: to a close obviously not the way you wanted a 4 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: ton fold. Yeah, just give them a lot of credit. 5 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: They played, They played good and uh, you know, kind 6 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: of stop us when they needed to at different points 7 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 1: in the first half and the second half, and just 8 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 1: in uh, we weren't able to get the job done. Tom, 9 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: a lot of interest obviously, and what's gonna happen next? 10 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: Can you just explain to us. I know you just 11 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 1: came off the field, but just how you plan to 12 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: go about your process and determining what to do next 13 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: with your Yeah, I just came off the field. You're right, 14 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: so Toomathy first half has had first and goal to go. 15 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,279 Speaker 1: Any two timeouts in that sequence? What did you see 16 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: that you didn't like and they got to stop on 17 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 1: their down. Yeah, we're just trying to get to know 18 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 1: our best play and uh, you know, I just give 19 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 1: them credit. It was good good job executing by them 20 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: on defense. Um, yeah, I wish we could have scored there, 21 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: but they made the place and they needed to. Bill 22 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 1: earlier said that you didn't make enough place tonight. Offensively 23 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: it seems that over the last several weeks we've been 24 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: thinking the same thing in terms of not making enough 25 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: plays offensively, From your perspective, Tom, what has been the 26 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: factor that has not prevent that has prevented this team 27 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: from having a cohesive offense and not being able to 28 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: make the plays on a consistent level over the last 29 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: several weeks, because that's been it's been a failure. Yeah. Well, 30 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: I think anytime you lose games and don't produce the 31 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: way you'd want, there's probably a lot of things. I 32 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: always and you know, we all wish we could do 33 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: a lot better. M I certainly wish I could do 34 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: some things better. Um, but we didn't. And it's a 35 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: results business and it's about winning and losing and more 36 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: things you do right and well a better chance you 37 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: have to win. And you know, we just just didn't 38 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: do enough things right here, Tom, I, Karen, I would 39 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: you say offensively that this performance was kind of like 40 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: a microcosm of what happened during the season, between red 41 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: zone difficulties, third down difficulties and so on. Did it 42 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: seem like it's sort of what happened during the regular 43 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: season carried over. I mean, I definitely think you know, 44 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: regards to night, third down, red air were a problem 45 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 1: for us, and I don't think those were particularly great 46 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: areas You're right over the course of the season. So um, yeah, 47 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: it was just a tough way to end it tonight. 48 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I just can I give them 49 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: a lot of credit. They made more plays than we did, 50 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: and you know, if we want to win those games 51 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: after a better job, Tom, at this stage of your 52 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: career and at the stage of of your life, is 53 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: it is it tougher to see a season that you're 54 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: in the playoffs and because you're running out of potential 55 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: chances for championships. I think we're all running out of 56 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: time and chances every year that goes by. So I 57 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: don't think I'm the only one in that category in 58 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: this room, where probably in any of these rooms. Hey Tom, Um, 59 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: I know tonight's disappointing for you, your teammates next to you, guys, 60 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: I think the most upset are fans and Patriots Nation. 61 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: They've stuck with you through everything, they adore you. Do 62 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: you have any message for them tonight? Yeah? I mean 63 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: we and I personally, you know, appreciate you know, everything 64 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: that they've you know, you know, contributed over the course 65 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: of you know, not just this year, but a lot 66 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: of years, and h you know, just very grateful for 67 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: you know the experience of playing this year for this team, 68 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: this organization, and m over the course of my career too. 69 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: So I appreciate it. I hope. I I've always you know, 70 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: tried to do the right thing out there, and you know, 71 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: who knows what the future holds, So we'll leave it 72 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: at that. I guess on that same note, Tom, do 73 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: you have a sense of whether you'll be back with 74 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: the Patriots in twenty twenty and do you want to 75 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: be back with the Patriots in twenty twenty. I love 76 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: the Patriots. I mean, they they obviously h you know, 77 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: they gotta it's the greatest organization, and you know, playing 78 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: for mister Kraft all these years, and that for coach Belichick. 79 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: I mean there's you know, there's nobody who's had a 80 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: better career, I would say than me and just being 81 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: with them, So I'm very blessed. I don't know what 82 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: the future looks like, so I'm not going to predict it. 83 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: So I wish you would have won tonight and wish 84 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: you'd done a lot of things better over the course 85 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: of this season, but we just didn't just didn't get 86 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: the job done. All right, Tom, I know that you 87 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: keep saying that you don't know what's going to happen 88 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: in the future. Is there any possibility that you would 89 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: retire after this last season? Uh? You know, I would 90 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: say it's pretty unlikely, but yeah, hopefully unlikely. You care soul, Tom, 91 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: I did just want to ask if you could just 92 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: share emotionally what you're feeling at the momentum and as 93 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: the competitor that you are. Somebody did ask a retirement question. 94 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: Your last throw was a pick six? How that would sit? 95 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: So happens when you throw the ball? So? Um, we 96 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: should have been a ninety nine yard touchdown. That'd have 97 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: been pretty cool. But it wasn't about what about to 98 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:02,559 Speaker 1: pick six? Just in general? Oh um, Yeah, there's probably 99 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: a lot of emotions and you know, again I wish 100 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: for to won and uh yeah, just disappointed that we 101 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: didn't win, Tom, even though tonight didn't then obviously the 102 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: way you wanted it to. You did win the your 103 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: eleventh straight division title. And as you sort of sort 104 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: through things in the offseason, will that be something that 105 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: stays with you and a hard thing to walk away from. 106 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: That's nobody's yet taken that division away from you. And 107 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: is that a reason to stay until that happens. Yeah. Again, 108 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: I don't want to get too much into the future 109 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: and stuff. I mean, this team has fought hard. You know, 110 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: we battled every day, we tried to get better, we 111 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: worked hard to improve, and you know, it's probably to 112 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: be a part of this team, not only this year, 113 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: but every year. And you know, again, I just don't 114 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: know what's going to happen. And you know I'm not 115 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: going to predict it, and no one needs to make 116 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: choices at this point. And you know, I love playing football. 117 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: I love playing for this team. I love playing for 118 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: this team for two decades and winning a lot of games. 119 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: And again, I just I don't know what it looks 120 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: like moving forward. So we'll just take it day by day. 121 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: So thank you guys, appreciate it.
