New England Patriots: Tom Brady Calls Trash Talk ‘A Big Waste of Energy’
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has no time for trash talk. He believes all the talking should be done on the field.
When it comes to bulletin board material, you won’t find any from Tom Brady nor his team. As the New England Patriots prepare to avenge a 16-0 Week 4 loss to the Buffalo Bills Sunday, Brady was asked if there would be any retribution for the pre-game shenanigans of Bills safety Robert Blanton who shoved rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett.
"“Yeah, you know it’s more so what we do when the game kicks off as opposed to what happens before the game or during the week,” Brady said Wednesday during his press conference. “You get into a bunch of trash talk. You know us. we’ve never got into that stuff because, in the end, it’s just a big waste of energy.”"
For that particular game, during that particular week, Rex Ryan and the Buffalo Bills played the role of bully and backed it up on the scoreboard. It was one of the worst performances for the Patriots at Gillette Stadium. They weren’t able to get anything done and continually shot themselves in the foot.

While a shutout will probably won’t happen this time around, Brady knows his team can only fight back with focus and execution.
"“You focus on the things that you need to do to help the team, and that’s to play well and execute and spend your time on what’s going to happen from the point when the kicks off to when it ends,” Brady continued. “That’s where our focus. That’s where it always will be. So, we’ll go in there. We’ll be focused and we’ll be ready to go and we’ll try to go out there and play a lot better than the last time we played them.”"
The Patriots aren’t talking, but the Week 4 loss and the way they played will be motivation enough to get pay back on their AFC East rivals. With Brady at quarterback, it is a sure bet there will be no bullying taking place before the game.
