Why do you have to use the word "midget?" You actually use it twice.
I'm 6'4" (though I'm sure you're taller, otherwise I might think you're a...well, you know...), so this isn't a result of any insecurity I might have in that regard, but I find that posters who feel they have to denigrate someone in addition to making what might be legitimate comments on a player or game usually don't have that much to say and are masking a lack of understanding of the game and its finer points with insults.
Did he look afraid when he completed 20-23 passes? did he look afraid when he set a super bowl record for consecutive completions?
Look at his stats before and after the Tuck hit, we're going to find out hes going in for shoulder surgery shortly, he had a bad wing and the Tuck hit made it worse, hell, they had Hoyer warming up on the sidelines.
These games come down to a play or two and they made em, we didnt, a healthy Gronk or a Healthy Brady down the stretch and we win.
Theres plenty of blame to go around, trying to pin it on one guy/play is silly.
BTW, where was Brees/Rogers yesterday? They didnt make plays when they should have or they would have been there instead of manning.
Well, he's not wrong. However you guys felt about Asante after SB42, the consistent thing would be to feel the same way about Welker now.
You can't teach clutch.
Welker just doesn't have it.
Brady looked shaky under the slightest pressure before and after the hit. His preparation and on field reading of defenses make him phenomenal. In my view, it makes up for his inability to make tougher throws and his lack of accuracy on longer throws. I am not saying I'd rather have Rodgers or Brees because I think Tom is better for this team…and his overall W-L cannot be argued with. In typically Peyton Manning style, he feasted on a ridiculously easy regular season but did not play well against above average or good teams.
This is getting off topic but I think he needs to make a better throw to Welker. There are no excuses for that. Nobody gets better protection or more YAC than TB does. This is YET ANOTHER GAME - dating all the way back to the 2006 AFCCG that we could not get a 1st down late in the game when we needed it most. The last time we did in a tight game was when LoMo ran wild on SD in 2007.

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.
Looking at the pass I feel worse because he catches that kind of pass ALL the time.
I feel for him, I really do, but I can't help but think "Good, you SHOULD be beating yourself up."
Why do we lose to the Giants?
Because in crunch time, Hakeem Nicks, Victor Cruz and Mario Manningham all catch that pass.
And Brady's the one who gets flak for it, and Eli the praise. That kills me.
