The game is over, but here we go again with the second guessing of Coach Belichick to play key starters in what was a "meaningless "game for them. The only thing to play for was a third seed in the playoffs. Losing Wes Welker for the playoff run will be debated forever.
Welker was hurt when he was running with the ball, making a cut while avoiding a hit. The grass turf caused his knee to buckle. Considering how many violent hits Welker has taken, it was ironic that his season ended without direct contact with a defender.
If the Pats lose next week, the off-season will be filled with discussion whether Brady, Welker or Moss should have played. Moss was knocked of his feet in the first quarter. I'm surprised he hasn't been injured, considering this happens to him every week.
"Rest the starters" they say. Back-up receiver and special teams captain Sam Aiken appeared to hurt himself in the 4th quarter on a sideline play. Anyone can be hurt any time. It doesn't matter who it is.
I'll take a sample of the sports talk shows tomorrow, but I think they will be dwelling on it throughout the week. It could make for a short listening time for me unless talk is focused on the playoff game
