Okay, I'm as big a homer as there is here. I don't feel the Pats owe me anything after the amazing run they've had, and I'm excited about the potential of the new receivers and about the defense.
That said, I have to scream, letting Welker go to this Denver team is probably the STUPIDEST move by a GM in the freaking history of the NFL. Manning has FOUR bona-fide stud receivers to throw the ball around. And whatever you want to say about Manning, nobody makes better decisions than he does in the pocket.
"Arm strength," "cold weather," "playoff choker," yada yada yada. This Denver team reminds me a lot of the '07 Patriots - teams look like they don't even want to be out there. Who beats them?
KC, maybe?
New England?
Indy?
Texans?
Titans?
Anyone from the NFC East?
I'll be surprised if Manning doesn't break every record on the books this year with that supporting cast and this schedule.
If they found a secret note to GMs telling them to make sure Manning wins this year for the sake of the league, it'd make more sense.
Last time I'll say it, and again, I AM A HOMER, "You blew it Kraft and BB...epically."
