On that last Pats touchdown, didn't they get penalized on 3 or 4 of the final 5 plays? Yeah, that won't get it done against NE.

For all those who said Welker would become an non-entity after Moss was gone: 8 receps; 90 yards; 2 TDs......meanwhile, down in Nashville Moss had a big goose egg this week and one catch the week before.....LMAO

That's kinda like waiting until Peyton Manning has a bad game and Michael Vick has a career game so you can say Vick is the better QB.

Totally different dude.....nobody ever said that Matt Ryan's success is due to Mike Vick playing on the other side....plenty of folks make the absurd argument that Wes Welker's success is all due to Randy Moss getting quadruple covered on the other side. The last few weeks proves the opposite......try to read thoroughly.

The Patriots have obviously adjusted to life without Randy, but Welker has zero 100 yard games this year, is on pace for just over 800 yards receiving, and is averaging a career low 9.1 yards per catch.

So......it's not like the guy is putting up the All-Pro numbers he did before.
