So, as many of us were saying, there was plenty of room to second guess Belichick, and once again the vitriolic homers who like to pretend they know Belichick's every thought come off looking like fools.
During the week, Belichick seemed to be leaning toward keeping Welker inactive because he was worried about an injury.
“Maybe Welker, too,” Belichick said when listing players who would be inactive for the Texans game. “I don’t know how smart it’d be to put him in there to get lit up another eight or 10 times like he usually does.”
