What exact forum is this on? Why shouldn't a player be upset after losing? hes not the leader of the team, why should he stick around to talk to the media?Checking out the Kansas City Chief forums, there are more references to Hillis leaving the locker room after the game without talking to reporters. I can find nothing else about this on news sites.
The DWFs are already calling Hillis a "baby" and saying he isn't worth the "trouble" and has a "bad reputation." As is always their wont, they are blaming the kicker for the loss. Even on a 90% black team, they must find some white, somewhere, to blame. Not sure how a kicker was instumental in a blowout loss like that, but hey, I'm not a DWF.
Tom Brady apparently announced at the post-game press conference that he was thrilled with Ridley's running, and how this meant they were going to be passing a lot less. I believe he said something like 25 passes a game would be ideal. I hope this is just talk, because if they don't use those white receivers, the Patriots become just another boring offense. I'm sure Welker loved hearing this.
Again, let's hope week 2 will be much better.
as far as Ridley, if the Patriots do go more run heavy it could really hurt Welker. For years he was an extension of the run game, getting 150 targets with most being short dump offs which helps balance out the passing attack. The little I did see, it looked like he was double covered most of the time, double coverage shifting between Gronkowski and Hernandez. People act like Lloyd had a great day but he didn't look great when I watched, had a few drops from what I hear. His production was likely a fluke, not many black receivers start becoming stars around the age of 30.
