I dothink Welker would have made a slight difference.
But anyways, You guys finished him on D we didn't. Our defensive scheme isn't very aggressive, we sit back and wait for you to make a mistake with the occasional blitz.
I hate it.
They had a guy play in Welkers role who did the exact same things Welker did. Edelman did everything Welker normally does, Welker being out wasn't the reason we shut down Brady and the Pats.
Let's also keep in mind that NE basically had one nice scoring drive. The other 2 scoring drives came when we fumbled deep in our territory and 2 very questionable calls set up NE for their 2nd FG.
and we supposedly hit Brady 7 times and obviously harrassed him all day.
