Video: Tom Brady Shared His Thoughts About The Patriots Recent Struggles
Things have not exactly gone according to plan for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots this season. Some key injuries, a brutal schedule, and overall ineffectiveness by the offense that was supposed to take a step forward is all to blame for this roster’s current predicament. Unfortunately, the entire system appears to be broken.
Tom Brady shared his thoughts on some of the struggles the Patriots are currently facing.
“I think the results are different from what they’ve been, but I know that he’s still got the same work ethic, he’s got the same coaching style. I think the thing that I think as I watch not only the Patriots, but a lot of other things, football’s a hard sport. You know, it was very different when I was in there because I could control a lot of the outcome. When I’m sitting here watching from afar, I realize, God, there’s a lot of variables, there’s a lot of things that need to go right in order to have team success. And I was a part of a lot of those teams and I didn’t take any of those things for granted. I needed a great defense. I needed a great kicker. Obviously I needed a great coach. I needed great receivers and a great o-line. If I was gonna be successful as a player, I needed all those things. And I was fortunate to have a lot of those things over a long period of time. So, the teams that lose, they’re putting a lot into it. The teams that win, they’re putting a lot into it. It’s a relentless sport and nothing is given to you. It’s all hard. Losing is hard, winning is hard. To be in it year in and year out is hard. To lose and have a horrible season is very hard.”
“I think that Belichick’s got a very consistent approach that he’s always taken and, you know, it’s the right approach. It’s try to prepare the players, give ’em the best opportunity to succeed You know, you get out there on the field in the end, the coaches, once the play is called in the players gotta go do it. And it takes a great coaching staff to win. It takes great players to win. It takes great front office support to win.
It’s an organizational win. It’s an organizational loss. To ascribe a win or loss to one player and they did that for me a lot with winning and I always say, ‘It’s not about me, it’s about us. And when you lose, as a leader, when you lose you take the blame and you give the credit when you win. But at the end of the day it’s a team sport.”

It is more likely that Tom Brady would play in a Super Bowl in any given year than it is that our offensive line would win a pass rep pic.twitter.com/YOJ0Nm9bsV
