If any receiver was going to sit is was going to be RM so stop with the "I can't believe Welker was playing nonsense"
Since the team was resting players, Welker shouldn't have been playing. He's the receiver who takes the most, and biggest, hits, and his 'backup' Edelman could have used the snaps.

I agree with this. NO ONE deserved to sit more than Welker.
Takes a licking and keeps on ticking. I understand it was fluke but he never should have been there. Give Edelman the snaps.
I disagree. Welker takes more of a beating than any other skill player on our team. A few days ago, I said I hoped to see Hoyer and Edelman start in place of Brady and Welker. With that said, I don't get paid the big bucks to make these decisions.
Whether or not he should have or shouldn't have played is irrelevant now. Let's all hope that Edelman can take a big step up the next (hopefully) four games.
As I suggest earlier this week, I would had the follwing players inactive:
Brady, Moss, Welker, Wilfork, and Warren. I liked adding Bodden and Maroney as Belichick did.

I think you are right here for the most part......the biggest question here is.....WHAT was BB's intention going into this game? Was he going into it to WIN it and get the 3rd seed? ......or the 4th seed like most of the talking heads seem to think we would be best playing for it.......Now, I was not surprised to see him start Brady, Welk, Moss etc.....but just did not expect them to not only stay in the game for such a long time...and I certainly did not expect them to COME BACK IN after the backups had replaced them........again, no one is in the Brain of BB.....but hard to figure exactly what he was trying to accomplish.....losing welk was huge.....but there are so many holes on this team right now....from OL weakness to secondary failures.....that we weren't going to get much further anyways....that is the reality of it
