" Patriots Monday continues with a quarterback our joining us on the AT&T hotline is the quarterback of the million Patriots Matt -- good morning Matt. Are you fill available sore. I don't. Hear now are copying it -- but. I I can't remember a bit more surprising Patriots game in the more surprising -- result out of water just off the top here did you or an -- teammates see this coming either in practice or pregame or any point during the ramp up the kick off see this thing coming."

" I don't equivalent to speak or a good game and again. Indeed in the specifically that we did but you know what. It's one of those situations where it happened especially in the and solar. The distribution of our bit -- that the so limited that it. You know you never know what happened at what we've helped."

" While we're at we know what their offense did to surprise your defense and we also Ronnie Brown -- snaps what do their deep as -- to surprise you what did you see. The -- in expectancy man."

" Toward you know the event with a good he basically physical. Basically it will go more well covered we. We took it biblical book or -- the game well went on they -- Well it worked so hard everything our government did that put -- into what we're actually in the in."

" if the defense decides to take away the deep ball and does all the candidate to take that away and just even the short stuff. Underneath or to the flat can they do that every Sunday."

" Well I mean we've got to pick advantages we get doctors who every element you get an opportunity is happier that it when it happens. They can't do that I mean. It -- stick with the people every it was going to be up is that in the the -- gonna have to deal with what they do otherwise he picked up that credit to move the ball on the field."

" Based on the records the two teams coming in and I know with just two weeks in -- and where they ranked offensively and defensively and NFL and then all the stuff that was talked about. And we don't -- much attention to it about these two teams being so far polar opposite is it is it humanly possible. The human nature for once came into the locker room and and you guys. Put this team lightly."

" No I don't think we took lightly at all we would -- we within the game -- great. The great focus really good we practiced -- Unfortunately the result and hopefully that we want to believe that we -- All football participant -- very correct we can we have prepared -- and got -- what we do every week."

" They get so much pressure on new. I believe you sacked four times although one of them I don't think you felt like you were sacked when you were in the grass there but. How they meant to get to get in your face so so easily."

" Not really sure beat Leo I have -- the -- I really from my position. I adult back in the look for my receivers and sometimes -- other guys there. It but he obviously did double look pretty accurate."

" Without Buehrle trade secrets were the protections the same that you employed against the Jets pretty much in place. Against the Dolphins yesterday and and was there at -- haven't had a chance to count where there's many two back sets as we saw against the Jets."

" You know every week we go with a different game plan so whatever game where we edited yet was different from within that the we thought -- that they plan to win so I don't think we have a video to back that the week. I was just based the coach's decision. It this the best way to attack the the."

" You know we always expect. A Patriot team of Bill Belichick coached team. To win the third quarter and make the adjustments and it didn't happen I'm wondering what -- halftime like Matt was clearly state. In the in the locker room we got -- a little stunned the a little shocked it would happen in the first half because. It didn't seem like the usual Patriot reaction to the tune to the team being down at halftime in the third quarter."

" But I you -- that it happened but it is it is businesses usually come it would make adjustments. Find out what their -- and that we. To -- critical with a new plan to go up there try to attack him -- outcome doubled up and it is they've what they've got -- Portland or article is that third quarter."

" What happened on the interception. I'm can -- and Mora. Discouraging the getting picked off by a down lineman it was that is -- blitz."

" No I think he took off from the into the -- there was trying to put it ought to -- probably outside. And very good player -- all back into it. Well there's the decisions you know you -- you -- get their act in which is overweight local. You'd have to move up and -- it but it definitely Drew more of those players that you would sit -- back."

" Matt this might be more fair question asked you after you see in the film today we spoke -- Boomer Esiason. And and boomer without being too critical of you affect of most of the loss on the defense did say there are times when you need to free -- a little worn go ahead and pull the trigger. Do you feel that there are times that your holding it too long and and may be having a half a second hesitancy any validity to what boomer says."

" I don't know -- B Leona unhappy go. What the bill would do it do my area. Film study of -- coaches state of of the but I go back they're picked my reads and academic purposes goes right with the ball let you know that -- do -- the quarterback so it. If we go and today or tomorrow we we think that butler missed you know visually it is trying to get all quicker here there isn't. Won't make that adjustment will be better this week. We'll get ready as well as over the bye week."

" any accounting for accuracy do you feel like one game -- next year the year you're more accurate one day in. The new on the next and and and why is that why would that be."

" Actor I mean it'd depend on the defensive workers -- you're going to. The protective -- get a are different at all that you would -- been covered or I covered you know it'd small plate well. You FBI record -- for all of it has the ability at all. Make a lot of."

" Met Jim Mora once said don't refer to the media will we have no idea what we don't know about that game and I about the game of football in general NFL football and I and it's it would take a month. His word of that so given out of the background we hear coaches all the time stand at the podium after a loss like yesterday and say we'll look at the film. We're going to correct the mistakes and we're going to get better -- grass that. But given all the areas that were sub par the Patriots game yesterday is that -- simple as looking at the film. Correcting mistakes and and in correcting everything went wrong yesterday and what form does that take specifically."

" I think that. The foundation -- in it I mean you're going to one loose game not -- Way to get better or in the it is approval and go up there worked really hard -- so. And -- come up protect our current cup and look at you in simple or you worked out but you've gotten better than in. -- Try to get better each and every day that the course -- we're going to get better but it we've got a great team here in 100. If I have a picnic threatened. Or."

" It can you give us a specific example we can understand about how it mistake perhaps that you may not committed yesterday that at some point committed a Josh who knew a bill and anybody is watching the tape how that how that process works where not a mistake it's identified and it's corrected."

" In a simple example would be whether we like -- like -- they read in we have goal -- for the next level or something like baton. Lebanese don't block a linebacker personable block in the -- it and we'd go to -- was set up he didn't. We shall -- the right way to do it we go through river -- and then correct and correct the problem."

" What was there any scream and kick in anyone's smashing their helmets in the locker when you get in the locker room McKinnon met. I can imagine you were any less stunned by this outcome than we were it was the most. While most surprising. The games' results I've ever seen on them. Other watching the Patriots for a long time."

" you know there's a lot of com called frustrate mega. Up by the is that nobody was nobody was happier ever been pretty frustrated with so. Like collectively as a group and and then. But that the figure -- move -- in. We've got a bye week that we -- respectable it looked. Recoup and get everybody back -- and then we gotta we gotta move on and on for the next game if they're consistently."

" Joey Porter obviously ran his mouth all week long prior to the game I assume he probably ran his mouth during the game was he was atop the most of the time Matt."

" Oh yeah we are a lot there's no doubt about that here you've gotten tired of a funny. Depends they get -- what side of the -- of the -- of other users but now."

" Did you did you hear the boos I mean I don't remember last time paid two team was booed in Foxborough it must've been. Surprisingly you."

" You know you hear that you don't rotated as should I mean everybody. Is entitled. Do whatever they want particular pick it. That's the problem happened. You have you ever played it's going to go out of the on the and in order so well."

" Did you younger than any words of wisdom from Tom Brady an -- in a text -- A phone call."

" I talked so is that you know they're -- there's this one game and we've got to move on will be okay."

" The I don't know if you're -- I don't know if you rate the pain factor of of a particular sack versus another one but I gonna tell you of all the ones that I saw. The holiday plant where he certainly took a penalty for it. Look like it. Might have been one on one of the more painful and in the in the grass would probably at least -- idea exactly."

" Yeah I guess he. Consider -- that I thought I'd help out on a little bit but. You know you gotta take over the territory playing the positions ability if it sometimes in the I really don't even know what happened on the in the draft pick if he thought I was wrapped up. And I didn't think that but that's available."

" Did you get words of support from Randy Moss or would that be you know patronizing do you just. I mean this it -- if he would sit there note pat you on the but you'd probably feel like a little kid after Little League game but. What what does he say -- you and in the race after a game like that."

" You know -- great in the locker room is that Brittany and that was great or factor. We've been working hard with music you know brought the development phase in the build chemistry in. Same goes all the Rutgers in the low. Well jab but I -- well so rated. Great legacy of Brittany and they're very uplifting music breaking."

" All right Matt got some work to do I guess for the bye week thanks the title talk the that's money a major Monday. Record are Matt Cassel with that doesn't -- I'm a Patriot Monday joining us on the eighteenth -- AT&T. More bars in more."

" Excited. But he popped it can't wait to -- you know I thought -- hunts -- The bye week and he popped out of the is that an adult and I think anything anything good anything positive I mean this is the worst loss I can remember the biggest upset I can remember. And they get a week off. It's and it worked. At worst it get -- yeah. It's did not get -- Diego but that's the only -- they -- well be more injuries. All -- expect things from results and -- standpoint just -- the and you point -- they can and in in Buffalo and the Jets and a -- around the AFC relevant. A world in as it's changed it's it's been it's brightened up like Reyes lunch and we have a chance. Where before that before I guess -- Brady feel again. Problem much bigger better chance what you wow door but George -- crystal that Belichick is still the best coached team in the NFL well."
