Congrats on the win but trying to make this an issue and backing it up with see you at the window further shows the pettiness of this whole arguement. Those who live in glass houses ahhhhh never mind, gongrats on your win.
bottom line is:
the game is not over till there is 0 left on the clock
yes belicheck congratulated coughlin but i have to believe he is a sore loser period. i recall last year when the colts beat the pats in the afc championship game last year,at the end of the game peyton ran all over the field to shake hands with belichek and what happened? belicheck shookhis hand quicly and ran off without congratulating peyton after the win.how many times did the pats beat tht kid before last year? belichek lost all my respect after that game,he is a sore loser period. so get over it patriot fans you lost

I thought it was amusing when Moss did the 'I'm Moses parting the Red Sea' hand-motion after he caught his TD. What a douche! :mj07:
AR, I just think he made a poor decision to run off the field when his team still had to stay on the field for one last snap. I don't hate the Pats, nor the coach...I do dislike Moss a great deal, partially because of him walking off the field in Minny and quitting on his team. Ironic, to me, when I saw Belichek running off the field like that. It's fine that he shook Coughlin's hand, but that's what is expected of any head coach in any game. To run off the field before the game is over is bush league, IMO, and is symptomatic of his ongoing behavior over the past few years.
I also saw the official tell him there was another play to run, and he completely blew that off, and then ran off the field. There's no glossing over that, IMO. He decided to cut and run, which was poor sportsmanship to the players, officials, and fans. I don't really care about it or him, just speaks to his level of professionalism.

He never does anything to improve his image so crap like this gets blown up for that very reason.
Ignoring the ref was the bad part as most(if not all other coaches) would have done the right thing and headed back out of respect.
The reason he didn't is because he would not have given a damn if Coughlin did it had he lost.
That is just the way Bellichick is.
I think he is a bit of an ass,but to his credit he doesnt care if you act in the same manner.

If he's going to lose, Bill Belichick would rather be elsewhere

On more than one occasion this year, Bill Belichick and the Patriots have run up the score on an overmatched opponent, and forced an opposing coach to sit there and watch his beaten team go through the motions while their heineys were being handed to them.
But when the shoe's on the other foot, and Bill Belichick's team has been beaten, he can't sit there and take the pain for a few seconds.
With :01 left on the clock, and his team just having failed on a last chance 4th down effort, Bill Belichick ran onto the field for a quick handshake, and then bolted for the locker room. Belichick's an important guy and everything, but I wasn't aware that the league had given him the authority to decide when games end.
There's time left on the clock, his team's been humbled, outplayed, and lost their chance at history ... and Bill Belichick doesn't have the stomach to sit there and absorb the pain until the clock read 0:00.
That's unsportsmanlike at best, disrespectful at least, and at worst, it makes him a big sissy.
Because Bill Belichick wanted to go hide when he lost, the field ended up being flooded with people, and the officials had to clear the area before the Giants could take their final snap and make it official. When you lose, you take your loss. You don't leave early because it makes you feel sad inside. Your opponent deserves more respect than that.
Anyone remember in 2004 when Randy Moss left the sidelines with two seconds left in a Vikings vs. Redskins game? Moss was selfish, a baby, a quitter, didn't respect his teammates, and didn't respect the game. Belichick just did the same thing, but did it on the biggest possible stage, and did it from the position of a leader of men.
Maybe there's something to be said for the inability to lose well ... most great winners don't lose well, and a sore loser is still a loser.
But still, if you're an adult, you finish out the game, and you give your opponents the stage and the respect they deserve.
