I really liked watching when the cameras caught Faulk yelling at and cajoling the entire offense!
Another guy that stood out to me was Wilfork. Dude was exhorting his teamates long after I thought it was over. I haven't been a big fan of the guy even though I begrudgingly respect him (as you know I'm a Chargers fan), but I love to see the never say die attitude, so props to him.He isn't the fastest back or the most physically talented but dude just may have the biggest heart in the league. He almost single handedly kept the Patriots in the game with his never say die attitude and gritty play. One of the guys that makes the Patriots, and the NFL, what they are. One of my favorite players of all time.

He's been my favorite Patriot for quite a while, probably because of all the sh*t he took from fans for so many years because of his 6 fumble season. Meanwhile, he just made clutch play after clutch play, season after season.
He's really the last of the crew of players who famously refused to lose, now that Brady seems to have retired his passion. McGinest, Brown, Bruschi, Harrison, and Brady were the others. Sometimes Law, Vrabel and Graham. Lawyer had his days. Cory Dillon had that glorious "not in our house" year for us. How we missed that passion today!
Kevin's the last of that group of indomitables, and I love him for all he's done for so long for this team, never complaining, never self promoting. It's bittersweet that only after today's fiasco does he finally get this thread's wonderful accolade. I hope someone forwards it to him.
Of the newer players, only Welker and Wilfork are certainly of the same ilk. Sometimes Warren. Hopefully a few more will arise out of these ashes.
If you're reading this Kevin: thank you! We will never forget you.
Hear, hear; very well-said. Almost too well-said, for while reading this thread, I began to replay in my mind the magical moments of the 2001, '03 & '04 seasons, and my tears of joy turned to tears of sadness in the realization that we will very likely never witness such happiness on the gridiron again.
Here's to you, Kevin; I'll be smoking one in your honor this weekend.
