I live on this planet… this planet where I read and hear about “Brady’s” 16 wins in the post-season and that’s why he’s the “greatest of all time”… however, the fact is that many of those games he played terribly, but the Patriots team covered up for him.

His QB rating drops dramatically in the playoffs, (even more than Peyton Manning). Sure he may get criticized the next day after his bad game, but weeks, months, and even years from now no one pays attention to those bad games, and only focus on the 16 wins.

He threw for only 145 yds in a Superbowl and won, 3 INT’s in the AFC championship game in 2007 and won, threw 0 TD’s, 2 INT’s 2 weeks ago in AFC championship, and won… Many other stinkers along the way, but they all resulted in wins. When we look back at his post-season record, no one notices that they got many of those playoff wins inspite of Tom Brady, not because of him.

Not fair for him to get all the praise for those wins, and not take all the heat for this loss. He gets all the glory, he’s gotta take the heat

So true, truthfactory.

Tom Brady’s playoff QB rating is 86.0. By comparison, Eli Manning’s playoff rating is 89.4 and Peyton Manning’s rating is 88.4 in the post-season, both better than Brady.

Meanwhile, players like Troy Aikman (88.3) and John Elway (79) had comparable QB ratings in the post-season to those. But of course, Joe Montana (95 QB rating in the postseason) blows them all away, resulting in his perfect 4-0 Super Bowl record, something that none of those guys will ever top.

You guys have been spoiled by the number of phenomenal catches Welker and NFL WRs make. An acrobatic, leaping, 180 degree twisting catch attempt could never be called a drop. That’s just an incompletion.

No, it’s called a bad throw.

Where? On your chin, Boston Boi? Figures

give me the stats on any other receiver catching a ball, turning 180, having to jump at that speed of ball.

ain’t going to happen.. thats why this is a topic !

I’m impressed Welker trying to play ‘peace’ maker with Brady by taking the ‘blame’.

Is there another website you frequent for quality NFL news and analysis?

Tom Brady threw the ball leading Welker well past the safety whom had dropped into the area. Welker didn’t realize where the safety was and turned around to sit in the “hole” of the zone. As Welker’s turning, he realizes Tom has released the ball and it’s going well passed him.

Tom throws the ball farther up field because of the safety and in NE’s offense, Welker is supposed to read where the safety is and push his route further up field.

It’s so bang bang, it’s hard to blame one or the other, but it’s more Welker’s fault for not pushing his route up than Brady for making a bad throw. Brady is anticipating Welker to run deeper.

In “read option” offenses, stuff like this happens.

Not from where I was watching. There was a safety in front of welker, so brady had to throw it to his back shoulder. It was too high, but it had to be behind welker otherwise it would have been a pick.

How many catches have yo seen that were more difficult than that just this year? In the NFL, guys make great catches. Look at the Manningham catch on the last drive of the game. That was just as difficult as Welkers attempt.

Oh. And shoulder-less humpback Peter King wouldn’t know a wrong-shoulder throw if it hit him between the cheeks.

Welker made a phenomenal play just to get his hands on it. But his bodily momentum was taking him the other direction, that combined with the over throw- made the pass virtually impossible for him to catch- unless he were about 6 inches taller.

He gets ALL the credit when they win, and has got to take the heat when they lose.

What planet do you live on?
Brady was skewered by the Boston media for his play against Baltimore. And even worse this morning by Eric Wilbur in the Globe, who essentially said he was finished as an elite player.
Brady catches his share of heat. He also unquestionably carried a marginally talented team all season long…and that needs to be taken into account too. But for your narrative purposes, its easier just to baselessly state that he never gets criticized.
Dead wrong.
