'The coach and players actually appeared to enjoy this win'
The Pats really wanted yesterday's game -- and it showed afterward in post-game interviews. From Reader No. 1:
An unusually effusive Coach Belichick in post-game press conference... he'll never be Pete Carroll but sounds like a man who just had a near-death experience. He did just have a near-death experience. Kudos to Brady for delivering the tying drive under pressure... Gostowski for those two kicks under pressure... and Ninkovich for getting Sanchez to panic under pressure. And don't rule out a ridiculously close London game against the Craptastic Rams ...Dynamic between the reporters peppering Belichick, Wilfork and Brady with questions - the general tenor of which being, 'how come it was/is so close' - and their responses bordering on gratitude/exhiliration for pulling out the win. Perhaps we are returning to our historic skepticism, (grounded in idealism?) of our local teams' performances... would be a shame not to notice that the coach and players actually appeared to enjoy this win and coming out afterwards to talk about it. -
