I feel like Bill Belichick in his postgame press conference, I really don't want to talk about this game. Other than a goal line stop, defense was just bad. Granted they didn't have 3 defensive starters playing, but they gave up 21 points in the fourth quarter. You gotta close out games in the playoffs. How we do this month all depends on what defense shows up. Offense was reasonable. Brady, Edelman, Hoyer all did pretty well. It's good to have Fred Taylor back especially with Maroney and Faulk out on the injury list today. All in all, obviously the biggest story is Wes Welker's knee. From his reaction, it looked bad. I'm guessing he's probably done for the season, but we'll find out in a few days. But we've played without him before. Edelman is a good backup. He won't command the double team that Welker would, but he can catch the ball and move the chains. Yes, I think the Patriots can win without Welker. Yes, I think it will require a better all around effort, especially from the defense. That's all there is to say about today. Now we just sit back and see who we get to play next week.
