score two receiving touchdowns in one postseason game. [The last was TE David Sloan for the Lions(!) after the 1995 season.]
It's a shame that Edelman is going to look back on this game and remember that the Pats got blown out, but he certainly played with heart today.

It's hard to believe a team with this much experience and outstanding management could allow such a steep drop off of WR talent after Moss and Welker. Of course losing Tate hurt, I think he could have developed nicely this year. And certainly excited about watching Edelman's growth, he is going to be a great weapon on this offense in the future.

Did they ever replace Stallworth? I don't think so, and that is where the problem starts for me. They only had two WRs. Who was #3-#5? I guess Edelman developed enough to be productive, but after him, who else did they have?

They tried to with Galloway. But that signing was a whiff of epic proportions.

Stallworth was just going through the motions and became largely absent from the offense by the end of the 2007, so that's why they let him go. It's Gaffney, who was a solid #2 for two years with this team, who should've never have left Foxboro.

Big mistake there (one of many this offseason). Did the team actually save any cap room by dropping Gaffney and signing Galloway and G. Lewis?
Congrats to Edelman. Our backup slot receiver has done well. We will likely need him to continue in a major role in 2010. Personally, I expect Welker to start the season on the PUP list.
=============
Let's have a look at our 53 man roster
WR Moss, Edelman, Aiken, Stanback
Now let's understand that we need to bring in THREE free agent wide receivers to compete for a couple of roster spots.
