Sounds possibly like a master cylinder or booster problem.

If you pump the pedal, does it come up?
If so, and you hold pressure on it, and it then goes down, that is an indication of a bad master cylinder.

Have you checked to see if the proportioning valve was tripped during the bleeding process?
