[InTheCrust]

I saw many parallels between the game 4 years ago and tonight's. And when the ball sailed betwixt his fingertips, dangling on his hip and into the turf, I knew.

I knew Eli would repeat the book.

[Blake]

Det was a beautiful pass from Brady on 2nd down to be honest, tbh, ftr, for the record.

Hit Wes perfectly on the left shoulder pad.

That's why

A 9-7 championship team in college football is mathematically impossible.

Well done. :clap

How about a 10-6 championship team? You have no room to talk.

[Bill_Brasky]

I cursed Wes myself when he dropped that ball, but let's not sit here and pretend that's the sole reason they lost that game.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Order of blame:

1. Brady (6-15, 64 yds, int in the 4th)
2. Welker (biggest drop of the game, errant throw but should've had it)
3. Belichick and Co. Staff (No points after the 9min mark of 3rd Q, 12-man penalty negated fumble, lots of mental mistakes)
4. Branch (couple drops, off tough throws though)
5. Hernandez (one drop, but at a key juncture)

Can't blame Gronk b/c he was severely limited.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Can't blame Gronk but you can blame the fact Gronk was injured. Sending Gronk up the seem when the safeties played too close to the LOS was the only way the Patriots know how to stretch the field. When he's injured the safeties can just play up and cut off all the short passes.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I also think Patrick Chung gets blame for constantly blowing coverage. Fuck Belichick for cutting the one free safety on the team then moving Chung to free safety when he was a beast strong safety.

The Giants punter can be blamed as well

:cry a beautiful thing, imo.

Was also sad to see him say goodbye to his molestache

[Pelicans78]

Welker would be a good fit on the Saints as the 3rd or 4th slot receiver, especially with Lance Moore getting hurt like he was in the playoffs.

Rofl no shit.

Normally that would be a 0, but since it made me chuckle, I give it 4/10

Hopefully this means he's done in New England

[Pelicans78]

You don't think he would start on the Saints do you?

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Welker won't be half as productive anywhere else as he was in New England. He was an irrelevant player before New England he'll be an irrelevant player after New England.

[Pelicans78]

Welker won't be half as productive anywhere else as he was in New England. He was an irrelevant player before New England he'll be an irrelevant player after New England.

If he lands on a team with a franchise QB he might, but again, he wouldn't put up the same type of numbers in New Orleans or Green Bay since they prefer to throw the ball downfield and have WRs to do so. If only Chad Pennington was still around.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Chad Pennington can't deliver passes with zip into tight windows like Brady can. New England is the one place where Welker will ever be a 1,000 yard receiver.

[Bill_Brasky]

Welker won't be half as productive anywhere else as he was in New England. He was an irrelevant player before New England he'll be an irrelevant player after New England.

Depends where he lands. If he can fall in with a competent QB and somewhere with a true #1 option he'll be fine and keep putting up numbers.

If he lands somewhere like the Jacksonville or Arizona.....he's fucked. But a lot of receivers would be.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I thought Techfan said he was a true #1 option?

[Bill_Brasky]

I thought we established that Gronk was clearly the #1 for that Pats? I'm not Blake, I can be swayed by things like logic and reason tbh :lol

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

At this point Blake is basically pulling a lefty and pretending he was kidding the whole time he was saying Welker was a true #1 receiver

[Bill_Brasky]

At this point Blake is basically pulling a lefty and pretending he was kidding the whole time he was saying Welker was a true #1 receiver

That or it'll be the ol' "Well, Wes is TECHNICALLY the #1 WR, Gronk plays TE!"

Either way, I'd rather see him used to his strengths rather than being forced to be something he's not.

[Blake]

You don't think he would start on the Saints do you?

Rofl that you think he wouldn't.

[Blake]

Wtf are you talking about

Wes led the NFL in receptions.

#1

[Blake]

Clearly Welker hurt the Patriots offense by Brady forcing the ball to him.

Rofl at the turn this thread is taking.

[Creepn]

He's not going anywhere. Welker is a damn fine receiver and this play doesn't change that. Same thing with Kobe, dude leads the NBA in points but sometimes misses that crucial clutch shot. Doesn't change the fact that he's a damn fine basketball player.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Given that welker wasn't a starter on Dolphins who knows where he'd be a starter

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Kyle Arrington led the league in INT's, clearly he's the best DB in football :lmao
:lmao

I didn't know he was a good basketball player. That's very commendable given height.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lol is this really mono? I seriously can't tell.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Brady throws a slightly off target pass and the wide open midget struggles to adjust to the ball, gets it in his hands, and drops it.

Eli throws an incredibly off target pass and Manningham adjusts beautifully, makes the catch with two defenders draped all over him, and manages to keep his feet inbounds the whole time.
Pretty much sums everything up.

Don't forget that if New England had a free safety worth shit that ball to Manningham might have been picked off. With the exception of the play where he lit Nicks up, Chung was late on every play.

[Creepn]

lol supporting a white guy once to not look like a total racist.

Uh, I've never said whites made shitty WRs. In fact, I never said anything about whites and football positions because I simply don't believe in it. Don't get me twisted.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

In retrospect is cutting Meriweather a bad decision? He wasn't great but he certainly covered more ground than anybody else in the secondary, plus he let Chung play his natural position.
I said from the start it was a bad decision. I hated the fucker and his lack of discipline but he was still a better free safety than anyone else on the roster. His hard hits also had a reputation around the NFL (as overrated as they were) and scared a lot of receivers.

[Creepn]

I didn't know he was a good basketball player. That's very commendable given height.

Come on seriously? Don't let your hate of Kobe Bryant blind you from the truth. He is a damn good basketball player and you know it.

[Creepn]

Hey Creepn who do you take, Larry or Magic?

lol.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

lol i tl;dr'ed creepn's post

:lmao comparing Welker to Kobe

Welker was a shit, irrelevant player without Brady. Troy fuckin Brown was basically as good as Welker playing as Tom Brady's slot receiver.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

At this point it's obvious BB has no idea how to develop young DBs consistently without them taking a massive unexpected dump in their 2nd season.

Either hire a real defensive coordinator who can focus solely on developing young players, or fix the secondary in free agency with veterans who don't need a coach holding their hand. BB's recipe of using a 1st or 2nd round pick on a corner or safety every fuckin year, moving that player around so he can never get comfortable at a position, then cutting said player, obviously isn't working.

[Creepn]

What about Kobe before Phil/Shaq?

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Tbh I'd want Joe Jurrevicious or whatever his last name was as my possession receiver. Dude was a beast IMO.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

tbh other than Asante Samuel I don't know that he's ever developed a decent DB. Ty Law came before he was coach, same with Milloy, and he got Harrison out of free agency. Eugene Wilson was decent but I think even he was a pre-Belichick pick.

Ellis Hobbs is the 2nd best corner of the Belichick era :lol
Tbh look at all the early picks (Meriweather, Wheatley, Chung, Butler, McCourty, Dowling) he's used on the secondary since 2006. The output of all those draft picks shouldn't be a completely shit secondary.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

It's too bad BB and Mangina hate each other because I'd love to hire him back as the DC.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Tbh I'm not counting out McCourty and Chung yet, but all signs point to them being victim's of BB's love for position changes. Moving Chung to free safety was something most high school coaches would know is a recipe for disaster. Making McCourty change positions just because the other safeties on the roster suck was also really stupid.

[Pelicans78]

Rofl that you think he wouldn't.

Of course he wouldn't. He would be in the slot. He wouldn't line up wide.

[Blake]

And London Fletcher led the league in tackles. Clearly he's the NFL's #1 defensive player.

Welker led the NFL in receptions.

Clearly he was the NFL's #1 pass catcher.

[Blake]

Thanks for finally realizing that.

Since Brady put up MVP numbers and the Pats were one hail mary away from winning it all, I didn't think I needed to use det blue.

[Goran Dragic]

Since Brady put up MVP numbers and the Pats were one dropped Welker pass away from winning it all.
fify

[Blake]

Given that welker wasn't a starter on Dolphins who knows where he'd be a starter

New England

[Goran Dragic]

New England
The same place where Reche Caldwell and Troy Brown were starters at slot receiver

[Blake]

fify

Agreed with the fix :tu

[Blake]

the same place where reche caldwell and troy brown were starters at slot receiver

k

[Blake]

Of course he wouldn't. He would be in the slot. He wouldn't line up wide.

Rofl you think slot receivers can't be starters in New Orleans

[Goran Dragic]

Welker isn't going to a team like New Orleans that's struggling with cap space anyway so idk why 78 brought that up. He's either resigning with New England (I don't see it but it's been impossible to determine which veterans New England thinks deserve to get paid lately) or going to a team that loves to shell out for free agents like Washington. I could actually see the Jets signing him because they wanna get Sanchez a "safety valve".

The Pats are hard to figure out, but I don't see how they let him go.

I think they offer what they feel is a fair deal and I think Wes takes it to stay with Brady.

[Fabbs]

MultiPat assumes if Welker catches the pass that the NYG D would not have held them to a field goal.

17-15 at the time.
Even with field goal Elite Manning could have led a touchdown drive for 21-20.

definitely possible

but they would have had a pretty small amount of time to work with, along with no timeouts.
