There is enough blame to go all around, but I'm just looking forward to the draft. The past is the past and there are worse things to be than a Patriots fan.
Ummm that would be a 180. He went from facing the end zone to facing the LOS at which time the ball bounced off his hands. By the time he finished turning and fell to the ground the ball was long gone. Turning to face the LOS to catch a pass happens a lot actually. Are you sure you watch much football ?
I've watched it several times today. Welker dropped the ball....and btw, the other guy you're mouthing off to (mojo) agrees with you, genius.
It's a routine NFL catch and a WR's whole job is to catch a football. If you can't make a routine play on a routine ball you don't belong on a practice squad.

LOL! My bad...it was a 180. That aside...ColdHardFootballFacts says the following:
The correct answer is both players are at fault. It’s a catch Welker should make, and it’s a throw Brady should have made much easier to catch to a wide open receiver.
IMO...Welker was open, the pass was the problem and if I had to place the majority of the blame on either Brady or Welker I'd say it's 80% Brady's fault. You may choose to do otherwise.
Who should we blame for all of Brady's overthrows against the Broncos...the receivers?
It was probably an elaborate conspiracy...I think Richard Nixon was behind it.
LMAO so the fact that it was the Superbowl makes it more catchable.As if the game matters. Look you are wrong and that's the end of it.
Lol. Dude could you possibly be more lost ? The fact that it was the Pats and I'm not a Pats fan has absolutely nothing to do with my, or anyone's, ability to assess the play, as you've implied several times now.
I know an agree. There are Pats fans that see Brady as a god, and cannot or will not be objective when conversing about Brady. I have seen it for to many years. I get blasted all the time for stating that Brady is in decline, I have been saying that for two years now. IMO it was a poorly thrown ball and Wes made a damn good play just to get a hand on it.
Yo mojo....you gotta at least retract this part of your statement.
That is a routine catch. It was not an impressive pay to get a hand on that. It was a poor play not to catch an easy ball.
How am I a contrarian? It's an amazingly easy ball and Welker choked. There's no other way to interpret that play.
Routine pass and catch, except the receiver can't catch.
Your lost, the point is the majority of Pats fans see it more as Brady' fault. Your the silly ass that thinks because he played WR in middle school that makes him inherently more qualified to make the call or the because it was the SB the pass is more catchable. It was clearly pointed out the Welker was not covered was open by at least three yard and the Welker had to stop full speed and do a 180 in the air just to have a shot at it. You seem to want to ignore that which is simply ignorant. So as I said you wrong and simple refuse to see the play how it went down.
Welker's reception totals with the Patriots:
2007: 112
2008: 111
2009: 123
2010: 86
2011: 122
2012: 118

When you get 150 targets a year, you can catch a lot even with below average hands. But welker's hands are well below average.
