The New England Patriots suffered their first loss of the season on Sunday night in overtime to the Denver Broncos.  Quarterback Tom Brady has suffered some tough losses in his career (including the Super Bowl) but he ranked last night as up there with the worst.

“It was a very hard loss. I don’t think I’ve ever been so pissed off after a loss. I think everyone felt the same way,” Brady said Monday morning on sports radio WEEI. “Hopefully we can use it as motivation going forward.”

“Tough game. This one hurts,” Brady said. “I think the circumstances of the game, the circumstances of the situation that we were in — having a good lead in the fourth quarter, then having a couple huge third downs that we made called back by penalty, then losing a player like Gronk in the fourth quarter, and then fighting back like we did to get it to overtime.”

“How it all played out, I guess I was just pretty pissed off, obviously the final outcome and how the last 15 to 20 minutes of the game played out,” Brady said. “It’s a tough way to lose a game, especially when we had some pretty great opportunities there throughout to close them out. For a myriad of reasons, we couldn’t quite make the critical ones when we needed. When we did, it got called back or something like that.

“… You hate for it to come down to stuff like that, but there were a lot of plays last night that just didn’t necessarily end up the way we would have hoped, and there are a lot of things we could have done better. I’m certainly not going to sit here and blame the officiating. Some days you get the calls; some days you don’t. We’re going to have to figure out what we need to do going forward so we don’t get them.”
