I think the Pats have to go back to the drawing board and look at how they are building their teams. You can't expect 4th and later rounders to show up in big games. The playoffs require playmakers who can step up and Pats don't have many.
The Pats also have to stop getting guys who are injuring prone. I know you save money on them, but there is a reason why other teams are passing over these guys. Honestly, it's pretty weak for Talib to let Welker take him out, even though it was an illegal block in my opinion.
They Pats also need to just up and pay a real outside receiver money. At least one. Trying to win big games with a slot receiver is a joke.
At this point I think the Pats should just run their 1st qtr offense. No point letting this get out of hand by throwing a bunch of passes.
Have to say, that Brady has really not shown up for these playoff games.
Amazing how Denver's D has risen to another level.
