Debating the Welker “drop”

Tonight’s 90-minute, sleep-deprivation edition of NBC SportsTalk, which got rolling only nine hours after Peter King and I wrapped up a two-hour show live from the floor of Lucas Oil Stadium, included several spirited debates.

And here’s one of them.

The key misfire late in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLVI, which came with the Patriots leading by two and driving for the dagger, could be blamed on receiver Wes Welker, quarterback Tom Brady, or perhaps most accurately both.

But who gets the bulk of the blame? Peter takes one side and I take the other in an organic discussion that almost included me falling out of my chair.
