Bill Belichick's answer to everything: 'We're on to Cincinnati' image

Bill Belichick isn't generally a man of many words — although he did smile after Monday night's loss to the Chiefs — but even by the Patriots coach's standards, this was some impressive deflection at Wednesday's news conference.

Just look at these selected snippets from the transcript:

Q: Your team has been successful for so long. How difficult is it to adjust to the adversity of Monday night's game and get back on track? This team and organization hasn't had these sort of issues in the past. 

BB: We're on to Cincinnati. 

Q: You mentioned Tom Brady's age at the draft – 

BB: We're on to Cincinnati. 

Q: Do you think having a 37-year old – 

BB: We're on to Cincinnati. It's nothing about the past, nothing about the future. Right now we're preparing for Cincinnati. 

Q: Do you think the talent you have here is good? 

BB: We're getting ready for Cincinnati. 

Q: Do you think you've done enough to help Tom Brady? 

BB: We're getting ready for Cincinnati. That's what we're doing. 

Q: As you get ready for Cincinnati, does Tom Brady have the talent and protection around him? 

BB: We're going to game plan, do the best we can to be ready to go Sunday night – same as we always do. Nothing's changed.

So what have we learned? The Patriots are definitely playing the Bengals. We're pretty sure Belichick intends to play that game. And we're certain he's #OnToCincinnati.
