вЂњHe used to talk to me about quarterbacks, talk to me about specialists, talk to me about any position on the field. вЂњI used to have some great conversations with him вЂ¦ any position on the field, he was well-schooled in,вЂќ Belichick said. But IвЂ™m just going to tell you, if you lose a Super Bowl, youвЂ™re going to wish you went 0-16 and never sniffed it.вЂ™ HeвЂ™s like, вЂIt is the worst feeling on Planet Earth.вЂ™ вЂњД«elichick also lauded the work of Ernie Adams, and added that despite the fact that Adams retired a few years ago, he still has a hand in some вЂњprojectsвЂќ that only the head coach trusts him to execute. вЂњ was like, вЂDude, this is going to be awesome. вЂњWe were sitting there вЂ¦ IвЂ™ll never forget the conversation,вЂќ said Long. Long, who bonded with Rob Ninkovich that season, said he had a heart-to-heart with his teammate. And we went out there and just kind of kept battling and not ended up bouncing our way.вЂќ вЂњJules was, you know, kind of keeping it light. вЂWeвЂ™ve got them right where we want them.вЂ™ Which we didnвЂ™t. вЂњJulian sitting on the bike in the middle of the locker room, like, вЂItвЂ™s a 60-minute game.вЂ™ You know Jules always around. вЂњA couple of things I remember,вЂќ Belichick said. Belichick helped him fill in some of the blanks. Long, who was part of the team that won Super Bowl LI the year before, said he remembered very little about the halftime speech that preceded the legendary comeback to beat the Falcons. And you all were on one side and we were on the other side and it was like just germs traveling back and forth. вЂњThe thing I remember about that game, and I donвЂ™t know if you remember this too, was that everybody was sick because it was so damn cold up there in Minneapolis and we were staying in the Mall of America.

It just became like, вЂ, who can get a stop?вЂ™ I was walking around the whole week asking guys, вЂHow much do you think we can score?вЂ™ because, like, Tom in the second half and and those guys just started figuring us out. Long, who joined the Eagles that season after a year with New England, had his own take on that Super Bowl. вЂњYou guys beating us in the Philly Super Bowl in 2017,вЂќ Belichick said of the 41-33 loss to Philadelphia. Long asked him what вЂњplane crashвЂќ was the worst.
