I can’t go out [free-wheeling] and doing things that aren’t in the game plan. I have to go out and play football, play it to the best of my ability and hope for the best.” And that is probably what Belichick is hoping for from every player in his locker room, because in the end after all the theater and underlying themes are tossed aside, both teams need to start the season with a win in what is probably the tightest division in football. Yes there will be a lot of emotion on the field Sunday, but like Seymour said once the ball is snapped the players just have to play football.’
