Going 14-2 is impressive, and Belichick received 30 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the NFL. That easily beat Raheem Morris, who led a turnaround in Tampa Bay and got 11½ votes. This team wasn't supposed to be a 14-2 team before the season and I he got the most out of a young defense and a couple of undrafted runningbacks. Their was also the Randy Moss incident who I guess we still don't know in the long run if it would have helped them or hurt them in the playoffs. I tend to believe they were a better team with Deion Branch but I've heard compelling arguments that he would helped against the Jets. But I feel there were better candidates to be honest.
The Patriots are a playoff team, and were one last year, I think Raheem Morris of the Bucs or Mike Smith of the Falcons should have got it. Raheem Morris also brought Tampa into relevance as they went from a laugher of a team to 10-6 and Mike Smith did a hell of a job with the Falcons after missing the playoffs last year he went 13-3 and finished with the best record in the NFC.
