Patriots Post-Game Links

by MichaelMcCoy on Jan 13, 2008 2:00 AM EST

What a great game! And I thought the Jaguars had the power running game. Here are some post-game links. I'm going back to Rochester tomorrow for my last semester of undergraduate study, so I probably won't have a chance to post the full set of links that a victory like this deserves.

The Globe has a game recap of the Patriots divisional round playoff victory that saw Brady pick up a couple more records.

Mike Reiss has many game notes on his blog.

With the Herald, Karen Guregian writes on Brady's record-breaking performance.

Tony Massarotti also has a piece on Randy Moss's second place finish in the Comeback Player of the Year award voting. Greg Ellis of the Cowboys took home the title after recovering from an Achilles injury.

Buried in all the post-game glamour is a report that Patriots Director of College Scouting Thomas Dimitroff has been hired to be the new GM of the Falcons. He's a name we don't see discussed in the media as being a major part of the Pats' success, but I'm sure he was an important part of the team's drafting these last few years, and their picks have generally turned out to be pretty good. Best of luck to him with the Falcons.

Good Luck

What a great game to have watched and have under your belt before your trip back out. Looks like you'll beat that humdinger of a storm we're supposed to get walloped with later on today too.

Keep the faith!

Speaking of the Comeback POY Award

Did anyone else notice that on ESPN's site the article about the Comeback Player of the Year[http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3193239]
called Ellis the first linebacker to win the award? Whoever was the Associated Press writer that did that story should be shot. It has only been 2 years since Teddy won the award in 2005. I guess Teddy was a wide reciever or something that year.

Execution might be a slightly excessive punishment

But, yeah, he's probably another Patriot-hater that can't accept true accomplishment and excellence.

Also, just to credit where credit's due

That's an Associated Press story.

yeah

I said it was an AP writer. A junior high kid could have done a better job researching the story before he posted that

Whoops .. missed that

Ya. It's somewhat funny that the graphic ESPN has inset in the text shows Bruschi there near the top of the list. I think the writer might have called pass interference on the Chargers today.
