@FB_FilmAnalysis A coach is much more than Xs and Os. They are the leader of the team, and if that team has 10 more wins than the year before, the coach deservedly gets much of the credit. Surprised the vote wasn't closer, though. Coen/Macdonald/Johnson/Vrabel/Shanahan were all good candidates.
@NFL Hightower is all-time clutch. Somehow tackled Lynch on 1st and goal vs. SEA and then got this forced fumble vs. ATL. Two SBs the Patriots would not have won without him making these two plays at the most crucial time.
@PFF Your criteria isn't super consistent. You pick SEA at QB and OL in large part because of playoff performances, but then pick the Patriots at RB and mention Henderson as part of a 1-2 punch even though he's been bad these playoffs.
