Don’t take mine or Bernstein’s word for it. Take Flus’ and Belichick’s
"It was obviously a private conversation, but I can just generalize and say that he was complimentary of the way we’re doing things and what we’re building here," Eberflus said Tuesday of his conversation with Belichick. "That was what the whole conversation was and it was just complimentary of how we’re doing things."
"Obviously a poor performance tonight," Belichick said after the game. "I know we were badly outcoached, outplayed. Just didn't do anything well enough in the game to have a chance to win or deserve to win. Bears did a good job. Totally controlled the game in all three phases."
