[1:01]" I think it did their part and play us but I only beating the Buffalo Bills. But shutting him out thirteen nothing but unfortunately it wasn't enough to get the -- the post season which was ultimately out of their control in the and the -- a look at the weekend's match -- right off the top."

[1:18]" Gust of wind at fifty miles from our Patriots do -- early on. Would you don't think he'll be an opposite direction the kicking game with -- sure going to be affected. After making his. His first field goal attempt in the first quarter equipment. Exactly what -- field goal attempt. I have an impenetrable. Against the wind -- of the right -- for the first down. Cassel was hit with a fairly successful -- went twelve for twelve yards in the first. Setting up a lot different only touchdown. Patriots -- Setting up until -- yeah -- excited by other teams. But the Ravens did no favors closing the door on sixteen spot by routing the jags 277. Setting out Jacksonville for the final three quarters of the game. Over in the meddling in the Jets perform -- against the Dolphins. The Brett Favre throwing three interceptions and ultimately falling to the game's twenty points."

[2:36]" The Patriots were back at Gillette Stadium on Monday and did address the media in a locker room -- that and say your locker room and kind."

[2:49]" was successful season from noon proved a lot from myself from the a lot of as well. That I can do his film. -- can do it now. It was a it was a fun season in that regard -- have the opportunity to play after a semester for quite alone it's sort of the plywood home."

[3:06]" No I -- pretty much every play in my created actually did better plays that I saw. After on the field play that I couldn't believe there went our way and did you always. You know and you know definitely. Duel plays out there that that it was a difference of -- five season. Or it could have been worse or better. You know butler -- you can do -- think about those things and try to get a much ahead closely. You know normal cornerbacks so music is about money so. You know you for right now and then notre enjoy this off season."

[3:39]" Accurate and it's it's I think that. We could have done a little more our division and it just like Miami did so well. You know it came down to was he was conference opponents. You don't have to from Miami happy for those guys obviously did enough and offseason and turn their season around from last year so. Hopefully that that can be just this year."

[4:02]" When you look at the play off to look at the teams that are in there. You know and loss to indeed the most of future. Results. Not to smoke and so there it. You know -- San Diego so you know how -- did it Q did you really believe in fairly complete bitter at those games and -- myself. There have been a situation. You know. You know I think in the past we've won -- told football and -- you know this year we came -- with a short."

[4:33]" was going on how comfortably that you you know. The best thing to do with always control you know this. You know it anytime you leave it up for grabs and startled eyes you know somebody's going to get -- You know now only -- you -- them once yesterday but -- you know -- since. It was this is that it is hard it is hard regiment. You knew if you had opportunities to keep -- in your control. But once we live -- today you know. And some obvious and so on day it happened. I probably will."

[5:04]" In the process of horror over the course of the next few weeks take a step back. Do we'll take a deep breath and kind of reflect on the season and was told her still. There's no doubt I mean it's just you get caught up in the moment you just start going and and I really haven't had a moment's rest here since the bears' season so no fixed on her foot. I don't know what's so one day after season and so we're just so we're a move forward and we'll see you know total comes about in the future."

[5:34]" We'll -- that -- more from Brian -- in Paul Perillo right after that. Next Brian Lowe is breaking down how the 2008 season and did for the Patriots put down eleven to five record is good enough to get into the playoffs."

[5:47]" There's more Patriots today coming right up. Did you just three years -- have tons to burn through this much trinity fluid. Cars less longer that you go through a lot less. Looks like -- goods and Q. Available size tundra truck since changing at all."

[6:13]" Welcome back to Patriots today right now Brian Lowe is taking a closer look at the Patriots got the job done but when their match up against Buffalo was all said and done it was a waiting game they have to play next."

[6:23]" What the Patriots took care of their own business here any ferociously windy Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday shut out the Buffalo Bills and improving to eleven and five as they closed out the regular season but as they left Buffalo on Sunday afternoon with that eleven to five record good enough to get into the playoffs it would wait Shimon. The playoffs if they didn't. Bills and it turned out they also had to. Apparently he. 1 question what -- came off turn over and there -- shot out."

[7:01]" The Patriots fifteen virtually every time whether it's in the last month alone but this team topped them all. Winter ball over. 4050 miles per hour notes it was not like it was one way trips which. Resist as it was insane and it's of this company. Even -- apparently. With the win we look that you. It's it was terrible it was very yeah I -- once again here's -- We've practiced in the third quarter. I think shield. Scored --"

[7:40]" Fat checks upon completion of eleven and five regular."

[7:44]" Answer curiosity I -- and it. We want to celebrate. Ourselves going. I know that weren't. -- You know friendship hope hope hope it's. We didn't win this."

[8:08]" But then once a team return here -- Gillette Stadium shortly after 8 o'clock. They knew that there offseason had begun. -- laid back."

[8:26]" I think that's -- record together and Toronto. Any other year should we might -- have a first round -- You know it just doesn't turn."

[8:37]" I'm joined now is always by Paul Perillo of Patriots football weekly. -- we -- was at stake when Sunday morning began what are your general thoughts of how Sunday played out especially based on what your thoughts weren't expectations were -- well obviously units and went eleven football games and not go to the playoffs is is -- tough pill to swallow for the Patriots and and for -- fans and for all of -- but. Really when you put yourself in a situation when you need other teams to do things for you."

[9:00]" This is the kind of things can happen -- work so well in 2002. Ironically it was Brett Favre and the ultimately Davidson worked out well yesterday. You know I guess the moral of the story hitters don't -- about five to winning games you get to the playoffs because sooner or later. Favre and the Jets are going to not comfortable went right just seeing the same thing they'll have absolutely."

[9:18]" I know enough for me to everything that goes on behind closed doors we don't know exactly what Bill Belichick as saying to the team in their final squad meeting of the year. What do you think he's on this team they did all they could this last month they're they're peaking at the right time but the breaks didn't go their way I think that some of the somebody's telling them and I thought it came through both in the post game press conference that bill when he talked to watch yesterday in. And the players' comments and walker and I think that they're proud of what they've done. You know they lost Tom Brady seven minutes into the."

[9:43]" Season ending injuries just never stopped and they lost a lot of personal a lot of key personnel. They had a lot of reasons to quit but they never did it one tough games on the road they won in tough weather conditions not the least of which was yesterday which has to be in the -- to the worst weather. They've ever plated. And they just continue to find ways to win football games and again it won eleven games I have a hard time hanging my head. And you know in shame overseas and you don't go to the playoffs when -- went -- that's pretty good records."

[10:09]" For the first time in six years the off season begins before New Year's. Which he's got an extra month of speculation what's going to happen. What do you think just real quick your thing what do you think will be the biggest news topic. The biggest news item this offseason -- I think it's pretty clear what that's going to be it's going to be the quarterback situation with Tom Brady and Matt Cassel. Buddy Tom currents and NBC sports dot com. Had a story yesterday talking about Brady's procedure has been delayed that process. This -- healing process being delayed. Again maybe even quite know conine is another -- that it happened. So that's not good. How does this affect that happens it. Sort of inquisitive franchise him to trade him. Franchises to trade up with a lot of speculation is going to go on and now that as you put it we have an extra month to talk about that and for the fans are going to be even more sick of the -- stock and Brady Cassel and what they're going to do but that's going to dominate. The Patriots top over the next couple months and let's just let's you make the playoffs or gets -- fired coach the January is all speculation that had all his adult regulation. Will surely getting your thoughts in the off season plays out -- talking after every game this year pre season regular season. Appreciate your analysis a little -- in -- so that you noticed what this is nothing compared to ask you several we've. Had recently stuff are I think fluff ball we'll go back to Christina."

[11:23]" Thank you Brian and call up next we're the latest from the head coach on Monday right after that us."

[11:31]" We'll be right back with more Patriots today."

[11:36]" Many have to -- scooter on the same miles per gallon. But hours puts thirty more rewards are. Deluding Butte. Available full size tundra truck that's changing it all."

[11:55]" Welcome back to Patriots today on Monday the head coach held a season ending press conference to wrap things up there's -- checking your pictures today press past."

[12:03]" Five. You know couldn't be prouder of the team -- it's on the last four weeks after the Pittsburgh game. I think there's that respondents every. Challenge and opportunity. It's been put in front of them to certainly yesterday's game in Buffalo was. From a distance standpoint that is challenging -- as a as a possibly be so. You know it did what they can do and not -- Sure wish that we were play another week you know again to get ready for. That's not the case and so. As the season has come to a conclusion. When you go it's something like we have since into July. You -- rooms and meetings practice. Watching film to game plan and make him personnel decisions. Planning games. Wrapping up on on to the next game. Just on that treadmill. It's -- pretty fast. That's always -- you know it happens every year. -- always. Suddenly it stops and it's a little bit fragile that's kind of we are. That's the season ended. Abruptly yesterday. Kansas City you know I've been through a lot of them think we're quite ready for one and happens. That's one thing that we you know we all need and involved deserve rafters of the rest. A lot of our players on the past couple years in the end of the season tonight. You know rehab and an injury that jumping in the offseason program that it can get back on the treadmill again. I think that. Maybe this year's us an opportunity for some of those to. Take titles at different pace. That would include coaching staff as well that's for guys around here work hard for worst effort dedicated to. So I think they're oblivious little -- and if you can include me in October. 24 hours even less than 24 hours after the game's not not the time -- A lot of decisions and we're making them things it's a process correct a process it. I said it's a process I'm look I'm not trying to. I don't I'm not going to make any decisions. Players schemed plays you get on slip screens next year continues more -- but I can't answering this question."

[14:30]" Bullet the end of every season comes -- personnel changes across the legal -- look at the most recent move -- any NFL when it comes the head coaching position."

[14:39]" After losing four of the last five it failing to make the playoffs the Jets have fired head coach Eric Mangini. They -- with the club since 2006 hasn't won three win its record. -- his client made history this season and hopefully its team record because I'm here now I want my. Mediocre now inherited or the the Browns like his head coach for -- on Monday that the Browns would Horry one. Out of luck note 49ers get out the Mike singletary because -- time coaching in the it's just go after serving as the head coaching struggles for nine weeks. It's -- improved -- five points."

[15:26]" Well that's how we have for today in our recap of the weekend will be back on Wednesday with a full overview of the Patriots 2008 season he then -- at Patriots."
