Well, here's where we disagree. The Brady-Welker connection was the only combo for the Patriots that was clicking at about 100%, and Edelman could have been started in his place. Welker takes the biggest beating of all the receivers, and he'd already missed games earlier in the year due to injury. It was the perfect time to sit him down, since the team was already making Bodden, Faulk & company inactive.
Moss is different, so I understand playing him. He and Brady haven't been quite as sympatico this season, and a chronic bad back condition isn't going to get better just by sitting out one game. When you toss in the sad reality that there's really not a backup for Moss (Slater?), having him out on the field made a lot more sense to me than having Welker out there.
1-2 series with Brady/Edelman/Aiken/Moss followed by Brady and Moss hitting the bench for the rest of the game is how the team should have played it. I'd have preferred just the 1 series, myself.
