Get the duck boats ready, Boston
Get the duck boats ready, Boston Share on FacebookIt was a victory for all those who still believe in the concept of team. In an era of the “me” athlete, the Patriots dynasty confirms their way is the right way. It was a credit to a team with amazing focus, which looked neither behind nor ahead, and went 17-2 for the second straight year.
“We’ve never self-proclaimed ourselves anything,” said the amazing Tom Brady, who is now 9-0 in the postseason despite playing last night just a couple of days after the death of his grandmother and with his father in the hospital. “We just love playing ball. At times we try to express to everybody what we’re about. In four years, I’ve never had a receiver complain he wasn’t getting the ball, or a running back complain he wasn’t getting carries.”
To a man, after the win, the Patriots refused to be drawn into any dynasty talk. “You toot your horn, you forget what it took to get you there,” said tackle Matt Light.
Deion Branch, who caught 10 passes in last year’s Super Bowl, had 11 catches for 133 yards last night to earn MVP honors. Mike Vrabel, a linebacker, caught a TD pass from Brady for the second straight Super Bowl. Rodney Harrison was again superb, with two interceptions. One of those came at the Patriots’ 4 to kill a Philly scoring threat in the first quarter, the second with nine seconds left in the game.
The win was a fitting farewell present for offensive coordinator Charlie Weis and defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel.
