FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Patriots say there's no finger-pointing after their Super Bowl loss, even if supermodel Gisele Bundchen won't abide by that code.

The wife of New England quarterback Tom Brady was caught on camera complaining that dropped passes doomed the team to a 21-17 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday -- the Patriots' second loss in the NFL title game loss in five seasons.

Late in the game, usually dependable receiver Wes Welker dropped a pass that went off his hands; Aaron Hernandez and Deion Branch also had trouble coming up with catches. Bundchen was caught on video by TheInsider.com responding to a pro-Giants heckler after the game by saying, "My husband cannot (expletive) throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time."

Brady was not available for comment on Monday, when the team flew back from Indianapolis and arrived at Gillette Stadium on buses. Asked if the team had any comment, Patriots spokesman Stacey James pursed his lips together and shook his head from side to side.

But defensive back James Ihedigbo says Welker was a big reason the Patriots made it to the Super Bowl, and he's not to blame for the loss.

"You can't point fingers at anybody. Wes made amazing plays all season," Ihedigbo said. "You win it as a team; you win it and lose it as a team. And we lost to a good football team."

Ide say 3 of 5 is better than 2 of 2. Football is dependent upon one game rather than baseball, basketball, or hockey with a series. Today, Eli was better. After it is all said and done, Brady will be the best ever. All of you Pats, Bellichick, & Brady haters will miss this guy when he is gone. Most of you hate them more than you like your own team which is pretty sad. Nobody like him. He will be back again before his road ends.

If I had Gisele Bundchen to go home with I think I'd get over losing a Super Bowl pretty quickly. Every guy should be so lucky after a bad day at work!

Wow, I'm sure she consoled him. That sad look on his face I'm sure is not there this morning.

It doesn't matter if Tom lost or won the game. He still won - his wife says she is a passionate person. I'm sure he won at home, either way.
