i hate to see welker getting beat up over that one. It was a bad pass from Brady.
Welker was WIDE OPEN yet Brady tried throwing to the back shoulder. Welker then had to readjust his whole body and was off balance due to the bad throw. There was no need for that. It isn't like Welker dropped an easy pass.
Even if he had caught it, there's no guarantee he would've held onto it as he was falling to the ground.

Was not a great pass but like I said in a post before: Welker makes that catches all the time so I think it is taken for granted that he should make it every time. The pats had every chance to end game on defense by making stops and they could not. You can ALWAYS point to one play and say "That is the play that cost the team the game!" The game did not end on on that play.
It's a team loss - and even those plays (the miss to Hernandez as well) illustrate that - the Giants D Line was putting pressure on Brady, and yes, he was throwing off balance and rushed and it wasn't perfect.
But Wes is just doing what this team - and its fans - so often do... no excuses... don't blame the officials, don't blame injuries - various components of the team didn't make the plays when they needed to do so
It was a great game, and was completely competitive, even without some key healthy players, right through the final minute, where we were also treated to yet another great strategic move by Belichick to let the Giants score to get the ball back.

I cant blame Wes for that its a tough catch. If anyone deserves a mistake its him. ugggh it hurts watching that play though I was certain he had it when I saw it live.
He probably should have caught it, and it would have been a phenomenal catch if he did. I feel for Wes. He's been one of my favorite Pats since he came here. I hope they open the bank for him, he's earned it.

My username is painful, but reminds me that in football and in life, nothing should EVER be assumed.
He pretty much blew it. Sorry its a fact. Its just like Lebron, you can have all the regular season stats you want. But when it comes to crunch time you just didn't get it done. He's a free agent this year, do yourselves a favor and let the overrated midget go. The only reason he even has the stats he does is cause of your phenomenal hall of fame QB. It's no coincidence he was a journey man before he got to New England. He's a slow midget with good hands...not gonna win you a superbowl..and he cost you this one...thats right ....he did.....its time to part ways.
Um, not really. What we need is someone to take Ocho's place and maybe Branch's as well.
I really hope Welker considers all this during these contract negotiations though.

Interesting how last night's game might be viewed as coming down, among other things, to two plays, both on balls that were a little misthrown.
Brady makes Welker rotate his body just a little more than he normally would so it's hard for him to secure the ball as he falls to the ground; he doesn't.
Manning makes Manningham catch a ball a little out of stride and a little too close to the OB line so its hard for him to secure the ball and keep two feet in bounds; he does.
As Belichick is fond of saying, big games come down to a few plays.

What a contrast between plays...i felt like i got kicked in the nuts.
Welker turns 31 before the season. Historically the Patriots don't give large contracts to non QB players on the wrong side of 30. The drop makes it even harder.
Its nothing personal with Welker. Unless Bill Buckner can play shortstop, right field, be a #4 or a #5 starter, or maybe even close games, I don't want him on the Red Sox either.
