Why is nobody talking about Ben Watson - New England Patriots Forums

Both of his catches went for TDs.

Finally looking like he is 100%

Yup one of them was a difficult catch as well. When healthy, Ben can be right up there with the best TE's. I love having him as an option for Brady, it opens up the entire field and makes the offense even more lethal.

agreed. It's almost as if BB said to him, "listen Ben, make a few bad drops this season, because we're going to the playoffs with HFA anyway, then show your hands in the playoffs." Another winner produced by the Pats factory that produces players who step up big when it matters.

I appreciate Watson but I'm still worried about how reliable his hands are. His TD catches were key, no doubt, but I give more kudos to Faulk for his effort in the game because Faulk played tonight like he does typically-very consistently.

Ben has only dropped like one or two balls all year.

what, no

He had a ball hit him on the hands tonight that was close to being intercepted. He's gotten over his fumble problems at least but he hasn't been consistent receiving the ball.
