No matter what you think of him, you can't deny that Bill Belichick is consistent.

The Patriots head coach memorably repeated, "We're on to Cincinnati" after New England was blown out, 41-14, by Kansas City in Week 4 of the 2014 season.

Belichick is now using that mantra to deflect any Deflategate talk.

When asked Thursday about the controversy that ended up with Tom Brady getting suspended for four games and the organization losing a draft pick, Belichick would only say, "We're on to next year. It's 2015. You can forget about last year. That was last year."
