On another note:
The following is the schedule for when the Associated Press post-season NFL awards are announced:


Jan. 2 -- Offensive rookie of the year

Jan. 3 -- Defensive rookie of the year

Jan. 4 -- Comeback player of the year

Jan. 5 -- Most valuable player

Jan. 7 -- Defensive player of the year

Jan. 8 -- Offensive player of the year

Jan. 9 -- All-Pro team

Jan. 12 -- Coach of the Year

Jan. 5 -- Most valuable player - Brady

Jan. 7 -- Defensive player of the year - Vrabel

Jan. 8 -- Offensive player of the year - Moss

Jan. 9 -- All-Pro team - we have how many Pro Bowlers, 8?

Jan. 12 -- Coach of the Year - Bellechick

Defensive Player of the year won't be Vrabel. And the Offensive player of the year will probably be Reggie Wayne....other than that its pretty accurate.

But I have this feeling that they won't give Belichek the Coach of the year because of Spygate.....they'll probably give it to Mike McCarthy or Wade Philips

I don't believe there is anyway that Vrabel wins defensive player of the year, I think DeMarcus Ware had a better season, but I am not 100% on if he should win it either as he had really some bad games. I don't think Moss will get multiple awards, although I believe he deserves multiple.

Bellechick should be coach of the year regardless of spygate, I think if he doesn't get 100% of the vote that is a travesty.

one of my major clients is in Wisconsin and they fully believe McCarthy will win coach of the year.

i would be interested to see who on this site thinks should be the MVP Moss or Brady. In NY/NJ the consensus is that Moss should be the MVP. Interested to see what the Pat fans think

Brady should win MVP hands down with Moss number 2! A new record "50" touchdowns and an undefeated season???? Its a no- brainer! I know....Moss broke the touchdown recieving record but Brady runs the team....he makes it happen! If Brady only threw for say....40 TD's and Moss broke the record I would say Moss deserves it!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

i believe it should be Brady as well, but the argument I hear in this neck of the woods is that Moss really changed the dynamics of that team and makes everyone around him so much better.

I want to see how the voting falls out.

It's very simple--if MVP really means "most valuable":

Without Moss the Pats are 14-2.

Without Brady, they're 7-9.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

I think Wes Welker had just as big of an impact on the Team as Moss....Welker had an unbelievable season, I bet Parcells wishes he had a guy like that in Miami
