Bill Belichick was not happy with a reporter’s question about Tom Brady
Not surprisingly, Belichick offered a strongly worded response.
Bill Belichick is not a fan of anyone second-guessing his quarterback decisions.
When asked about whether he considered removing Tom Brady from Sunday’s win over the Dolphins, Belichick dismissed the question’s premise.
“It’s easy for you to sit there and say the game’s out of hand,” Belichick responded. He expanded on his answer as to why Brady wasn’t subbed out earlier in the fourth quarter:
Belichick asked if he thought about taking Tom Brady out early?

The Dolphins got a number of hits on Brady throughout the game, but were unable to stop the Patriots’ offense. New England led by multiple scores for the entire fourth quarter, though Belichick judged the lead to not enough to spare Brady.
Belichick has made no secret of his contempt for questions about which quarterback should be playing for the Patriots over the years. Some of his previous notable soundbites have stemmed from Brady-related questions.
