You know, everybody is hammering Wes Welker for one dropped pass, but nobody is hammering the recievers who dropped passes in the last minute drive. Why is nobody hammering them? I don't know. When Wes Welker dropped that pass, the Patriots were still in the lead with four minutes left in the game. I understand, the ball hit Welker in the hands...He should have had the reception. But he didn't, he dropped it. Recievers drop balls all the time. Why isn't anybody hammering the Pats defense for NOT stopping the Giants on their last drive? The Patriots DID NOT lose the game because of one dropped pass. The game was 60 minutes long, that dropped pass play lasted about 7 seconds, the Patriots had 59 minutes and 53 seconds to win the game. It's NOT Wes Welker's fault that the Patriots lost the Superbowl.

But yeah, I don't think you can blame Wes Walker or any one individual Patriot for the loss, they had their chances ... but it does remind me of an old saying, "Football is a team sport, and no one individual can be blamed for any loss ... except Tony Romo." ... ![]() |

The whole team blew it. ![]()
And yea, Slomotion, we try to blame Romo for anything we can. LOL |
