this weeks home opener against division rival Miami.He made it clear that
nothing -- not even having to share the Patriots facilities with a Bruce
Springsteen concert -- was distracting him from preparing for the Dolphins.While
Belichick acknowledged he had seen a few wild Springsteen concerts, his focus
this week is only amplified by the performance of his team in last years
regular-season finale at Miami, which he called sickening.Im working on Miami. I
dont do concerts, I dont do banners, I dont do parking, I dont do concessions,
he said Wednesday.Belichick acknowledged there was some lingering bitterness
after Januarys 20-10 loss, which kept the Patriots from securing the No. 1 seed
and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. New England won its
divisional playoff game at home against Kansas City, but had to go on the road
for the AFC championship game, a 20-18 loss to Denver.Its the main reason why
Belichick said it hasnt been difficult to turn the page after last weeks gutty
opening win at Arizona.All youve got to do is turn on our game against Miami
last year. Its sickening. Yeah, it doesnt take long at all, he said. It wasnt
very good: bad coaching, bad playing, just bad period.The shortcomings were all
over the field.Tom Brady completed a season-low 21 passes for 134 yards. It was
also his only game all season he didnt have a touchdown pass. It wasnt until
James White caught a short pass over the middle and rumbled for a 68-yard gain
in the third quarter that the Patriots were able to set up their lone
touchdown.The defense had a tough time containing Ryan Tannehill, who threw for
350 yards and two touchdowns.Id say the thing thats most etched in my mind, and
Im sure our teams, is the last time we went down there it was a pretty rough day
for us, Belichick said.Other than James White breaking a tackle we barely had
100 yards of offense. Couldnt play defense, couldnt really do anything.Improving
on that result may not be easy.The Patriots took the field against Arizona
short-handed, with tight end Rob Gronkowski sidelined with a hamstring issue.
Also out were left tackle Nate Solder (hamstring) and right guard Jonathan
Cooper (foot). All three were listed as limited participants Wednesday as New
England got back on the practice field.The defense also began the week down a
starter, with linebacker Donta Hightower unable to practice because of a knee
injury. He started against the Cardinals, finishing with one tackle.Safety Devin
McCourty, voted a co-captain this season along with Hightower, Gronkowski and
Matt Slater, said they received the game plan for Miami just hours after
returning from Arizona.Following a day off Tuesday, on-field preparations for
the Dolphins didnt begin in earnest until Wednesday.But its nothing this team
isnt used to, McCourty said.No ones better than turning the page and getting
ready for the next game than Bill, McCourty said. Thats the good thing about
this team. We take after him and understand once he turns the page, thats all
hes talking about.---AP NFL website:
