Who would have thought when they picked Welker up out of Miami that he would have had this type of career! I know Johnny Spygate- you knew, you called it, I know- but for the rest of us mere mortals- what an unbelievable surprise!

Welker’s success is not a surprise if you did your homework.  As I did at the time.  But this isn’t about me.  It’s about Welker.  He’s a genuine stud.  A tough guy with hands.  It’s just too bad Brady couldn’t have simply just hit him in those hands when he was WIDE open during the SB. 

The ball actually did hit him in his hands in the SB. I see someone really didn’t do his homework.

What do you bet he gets a cheap shot from Ed Reed before it’s all over Sunday?

Would you just give it up already?  Yeah, the guy IS a great receiver, but the pass you refer to DID hit him in the hands.  When I say hands, I don’t mean his fingertips.  The guy got full palms on both hands.  As he himself said after that game, that’s a catch he has made before many, many times.  As his reaction should have told you after that play, he knew he had missed an opportunity there when he held his hands on his head for a somber moment.  As I’ve told you and many others have tried to drill this through your thick skull countless times, the play goes down in the books as a drop, and is rightly referred to as “the drop” when most sane people talk about it.  Yes, Brady could have thrown it better, but it was still good enough. The pass was lofted with great touch on it, and when a receiver of Welker’s caliber gets both hands on a ball like that, which he did, it should be a catch every time.  All this is moot though because nobody ever wins in the blame game.  They lost that game as a team, and that’s it.  The Giants played well and deserved to win.  It’s what you do after plays like that which defines great teams.  In last week’s game, Welker had a bad drop early on, but he came back to make a great catch on the pass down the sideline.  The team as a whole has responded to adversity very well all year long.

Maybe you just take Brady for granted like a lot of other people.  Maybe you have forgotten just how great he is at his job.  However, when he does things like THIS (see link below), you remember just how easy he makes ridiculously difficult throws look.  I think you need a little reminding yourself.http://25.media.tumblr.com/bed7f52d480a529b2a77ff45ca7d88ed/tumblr_mgogwrjnnl1qzdpizo1_500.jpg

You almost had me…but then you morph into “hater”…you’ve got to pull that poster of Gisele off your wall…go to SI.com and Jimmy Trainor’s “Lovely Lady Of The Day”…plenty of gals to stare at….BTW, ” But this isn’t about me” is entirely about you. Self serving and self indulgent, each and every post….Get that voodoo doll of TB ready…start sticking those pins in….

He doesn’t take TB for granted…he’s a genuine hater of TB for whatever reason…there’s some deep psychological problem there…the vast majority of educated sports fans recognize greatness on the competition..and they live with it…Lord knows we’ve had to deal with Jeter all these years beating our brains in…do we hate him? In a way, yes..but we respect him…Spygate has no game…he’s a hater through and through and what’s sad is his hate blocks out any objectiveness…he wants you to believe he’s objective by throwing us the bone about Welker…that’s mighty big of him…in the time it took you to read this post by me, Eli Manning threw another pick….

Love it.  And sure enough he takes the hook and swallows it hard.  The kid is a tool with zero objectivity.

I’d have more of an eye out for the 31 (Bernard Pollard) aka, cheap shot artist.  I’m stoked for this game already and we still have to wait more than 48 hours !!!!!!

His mouth is like the eveready bunny….it keeps running and running and running…..

After his Super Bowl MVP performance, lets schedule an exhibition fight between tough guy Welker and tough guy Rondo.

certainly tougher than the tight end who is on IR.  Way to go Gronkowski… wuss out and go sit in your living room out in LA (lord knows that’s where you probably live now Mr. Hollywood) while your teammates (who are also banged up) let it hang out on Sunday!

what do you bet Ed Reed (and/or perhaps Ray Lewis) is a Patriot next season?

 Yeah, no kidding.  Both are cheap shot artists, but Pollard is in a league of his own in that respect.  Hopefully someone ends his career soon.

 Now that’s how you slap some education into a moron!

Brandy Threw it behind him. The catch would have been much tougher than it needed to be.

Yet somehow, he knew exactly which way to turn in order to get both hands on the ball. Hmmmm….

Hey, no one loves Brady more than me.  He’s Mr. October.  But facts are facts, and the fact is that he threw a terrible ball to Welker.  Just look at the avatar picture to the left.  Does THAT look like a  good pass?  Of course not.  It doesn’t make him a bad guy, just a guy who can’t get it done when it counts.
That’s enough on this.  Let’s move on.

I hope you’re joking.

I am not kidding… Gronkowski is a big wuss.  I played with a broken forearm one Fall as a kid in both Football games in the afternoon and hockey games at night.  It hurt like hell but I was out there… for my TEAM.  It’s the PLAYOFFS.  Atleast though you’re on here talking FOOTBALL for a change though KidJesus!  They ought to call you Mr. Baseball!  Go back to Fenway and sing Sweet Caroline with the rest of the baseball pink-hats!

Hahahaha…my god…you just compared the NFL to Pee Wee or HS or whatever.  You’re a joke.  

not pee wee… try U of Michigan you horses behind!

Bull.  You’re full of it.  I don’t care what you say.  Everything you say is so over the top ridiculous anyways.  See ya

Go back to Fenway and sing Sweet Caroline with the rest of the baseball pink-hats!

Once again, factually incorrect…and you continue to try and persuade us that you’re a “fan”…you’re not. You’re a hater…”Mr October”….are you working for WEEI? Is it your sole responsibility to generate controversy? It was a catchable pass….just like the one that Tyre miraculously caught….I suppose THAT was a catchable pass? Again, Spygate equates to something not unlike a overdrawn checking account; “Insufficient funds”…

Spare us the BS.  Please.

Found him on Twitter.  He has the same act there too.  Just a hater who is jealous and frustrated.

Ed Reed – possibly, although he sure has fallen off in skill this year, but I’d still take Him. Lewis is done. It’s pretty telling when you watch him. He’s only good against the run at this point and besides, he’s already signed on with ESPN once the Playoffs are over.

Welker also gave the greatest press conference in the history of the NFL.

Look real close at that play. Angle, speed of play, timing, it was a miracle catch at best. I don’t blame Welker or Brady. However a couple inches closer, he catches that ball..

Oh, this is rich. Let’s see here… 17-6 career postseason record, 3 SB rings, 2 Super Bowl MVPs, yep, that’s definitely the resume of “just a guy who can’t get it done when it counts”. I mean, are you serious?  You’re out of your mind.  The only reason you want to move on is so guys like me don’t force ACTUAL facts down your throat.  Yeah, your avatar really explains it all… because there’s no better way of judging a pass than to show a freeze frame of what happened after the ball actually hit the receiver’s hands, right?

You know what your avatar looks like? It looks like the same play we’ve been talking about this whole time; in other words, it looks like a pass he couldn’t hold on to.  Why don’t you find the freeze frame where the ball is actually contacting both palms of his hands?  Like many have said before, if you want to talk about guys who have a history of not getting it done in prime time, start talking about QBs such as Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, or Donovan McNabb.You want to see how your perception of him being “Mr. October” stands up? Here’s some numbers for you.  Brady in the month of October for his career has a 75.6 win % (34-11 record) and a 98.38 QB rating.  In the playoffs for his career, he has a 73.9 win % and a 89.1 QB rating.  Considering teams generally play much tougher teams in the playoffs than in October, those numbers are not that far apart at all and show he’s exactly the same guy.  If you dig even deeper, his TD:INT ratio varies from 3:1 and 2:1 in both scenarios, and his completion percentage, average YPG, and average yards/attempt are all almost virtually the SAME. Stop being a smartass and start being smart, @ss.

Gronk played in the SB last year with a sprained ankle that he needed surgery on after the season was over.  Maybe you forgot that?  The guy is tough as nails, and putting him out there with a broken arm would just be ridiculous.  Just look at how much criticism the Redskins are getting for keeping RGIII out there on the field with a compromised LCL.  Now he could miss part of, or even all of next year.  Not only would it be wreckless to put Gronk out there, he would be ineffective as both a receiver and a blocker.  The other players on the roster that aren’t on IR can play his position better than he could at this point.  Let’s be real here.  Like I said to Johnny, stop being a smartass, and start being smart, @ss.

I would bank on Bernie Pollard giving Welker a cheap shot on sunday….But Ed Reed i don’t know, he seems a little classier than Pollard imo.

I don’t disagree that Reed is a bit “classier” than Pollard, but that doesn’t mean he won’t throw a cheap shot. He threw a couple in week 3 this year, one on Edleman, one on Branch. I don’t give Pollard any credit as a tough guy because simply put, we can’t hit him back and he knows it. That’s the role by definition. Nobody can hit Pollard. He’s a guy who likes to try and injure an opponent where as Ed Reed will just try and stop you. 

As for Gronk, he was a huge part of why we lost the SB last year. He was hurt, he was unable to run, block, or perform. He should have not been in that game, At least this time we know in advance we don’t have him and can adjust appropriately. 

The Pass, Look I have heard 10 analysts give 7 different opinions. To me, Brady threw a floater and Welker didn’t turn in time to get the ball. But lets not forget, the next play, Hernandez dropped on RIGHT IN HIS HANDS, but nobody talks about that. 

Bottom Line, Brady has made some bad throws, Welker has made some bad drops, and this team isn’t perfect. BUT..i wouldn’t trade this personal and the way they work together. 

This time,,GO PATS

38-24

It amazes me that no one has taken Pollard out. Considering the damage he’s done in the pats, you would think there would be a “Bounty” out on his head.

Apparently AFC Championships and Superbowls don’t count.

No kidding right….It’s a little harder to do though cause he is on defense but still, If Gronk was playing they could have him just blow Pollard up and take a 15 yard penalty and maybe a fine lol but it would be worth it imo.

Someone could hit him back if the right situation presented itself, like say he was sitting watching the QB’s eyes one of the Pats receivers or TE’s could just maliciously run him over and get a 15 yard penalty.

I just told you about your lies and to keep them plausible, Dude you never played any sport for Michigan let alone football and hockey. Come on haven’t you learned anything from this week with all the people being exposed for there lies? First of all Michigan is one of the top programs in both football and hockey, second of all you definitely didn’t play for both the football and hockey team and lastly you absolutely didn’t play for both in the same day especially with a broken forearm, so please just come out and say you hate the Patriots and you hate Gronkowski and leave it at that, but enough with the fantasy land tales of you playing division 1 sports for one of the top programs in the country in both football and hockey. But if you wish to continue perpetrating your lies, why not tell us all your name and which years you played for them and we can easily fact check them, and I’ll do you one better I’ll even have my uncle who actually attended Michigan go and look through his class books and if he doesn’t find you he’ll ask his dorm-mate who now works in the admissions department and can easily look up your information. But I know you won’t do that, and you’ll most likely claim as the reason one of the following (I’ll even put them in quotes as I’m that positive of your lying) 1) “I won’t put my personal information on some stupid site where someone can steal my identity” and in that quote you’ll inevitably make some derogatory comment about Massachusetts as to the reason you won’t trust giving out your name. Or 2) which I expect “Why would I give you my name so you can say that you and your uncle checked it and then tell me you never found it” or some variation and/or combination of the two…Am I close champ did I just “dead spin” your story, well just remember since you live in your mothers basement you don’t have to go far to get some sympathy and cookies.

And other than some of Pollard teammates, no one would be feeling bad for Pollard. SO, any chance we can get through a season and playoff run WITH Gronk someday?
