Bill Belichick is already on to the 2022 season. After conducting his season-ending video conference with reporters Sunday morning, the Patriots head coach reaffirmed his desire to continue coaching, and sounded eager to get his team back in the hunt next year. Even though the team was knocked out of the playoffs Saturday night in embarrassing fashion, with Buffalo trouncing the Patriots,47-17, in the Wild Card round, Belichick didn’t question the efforts of the players or his coaching staff. “This group has worked extremely hard. They’ve given their best. We all gave our best. It obviously didn’t work out for us the way we wanted it to last night, and ultimately the results of the season,” he said. “But, the effort and cooperation and ability to adjust and professionally do things, and do things the right way was very much appreciated by me. “We had our ups and downs in the season,” he continued. “Slower start, some higher points in the middle of the season. It didn’t finish the way we wanted it to. I think we need to go back and take a longer view of just everything.
