Tom Brady Makes Bold Admission About Coaching Conversations Followed Patriots’ Loss To Steelers

Sunday’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers was the last shot Tom Brady and his teammates received.This was the Patriots’ second loss in a row and their fifth defeat in eight road games this year. The team sits at 9-5, and they are playing the Buffalo Bills this week.

Quarterback Tom Brady revealed that his teammates faced “tough conversations and tough coaching”after the loss at Heinz Field.

“Learning from your mistakes is extremely important. I’d say we learned from (Sunday). Hopefully guys took it to heart. There was some pretty tough conversations and tough coaching, which is deserved by us players. Ultimately, we didn’t execute enough to get the job done. When you don’t do your job the way you’re capable, this is when you’ve got to dig deep and rely on other players to pick you up when you’re down or when your confidence is down a little bit,” the quarterback said during his interview with Jim Gray.

“We have a lot of mentally tough guys. We have a strong character in our locker room. Ultimately, we’re just going to have to play better. You can talk about it until your blue in your face, but we have to go do it. … We have yet to put together a 60-minute game, and that’s still out there for us.We still have goals to reach.”

When asked about that “tough coaching,” the quarterback said:

“Football means a lot to myself. It means a lot to my teammates.We put a lot into it. We care deeply about winning and losing. That’s what we’re here for, we’re here to win. When you lose and don’t get the job done, it’s tough. You’ve gotta look at the other leaders, the other guys who have been around a while and it refocuses you in ways that winning can’t. If we learn from it, it becomes a great positive.”

“Our team has always done it. We’ll take these losses, we take them hard, but at the same time, it doesn’t keep us from wanting to get back out there and improve the things we haven’t been great at. … Nothing we’ve done in the past is gonna matter this year. Nothing we’ve done in 2003 or 2015 matters. It’s this year, this team. We’ve been in some pretty close games,(and) we haven’t performed at the end the way we’re capable of performing. If we’ve learned from those and come out and do a little bit better, I think the outcome will be different.”
