Unlike most, I have no hate for Welker. He phucked up and will know that eventually, but I expect him to have a good game given that Denver has viable WRs to draw coverage, unlike last year's sorry finale.
This was about a player trusting his agent to get him a payday and Wes had been underpaid for his best years here. It was a business deal and I don't think his comments since are particularly egregious. He was a great player for us and has a little gas left in his tank, but the Pats played it correctly in his case. He was so good at what he did that eventually he handcuffed Brady into depending on him more than he should have when his best role is as a counterpuncher. He rode down the biggest hill on his rollercoaster a while back and it won't be very long before he clanks to a stop.
On the flip side, I have nothing but respect for Baltimore who are big, tough, well-coached and peaked at the right time last year.
I think Denver is a swiss cheese team-- the cheese is good but there are plenty of holes and they are quite oversold by the media. The Ravens are significantly better in at least two of the three phases.
Solid win by Baltimore coming up.
WTF?
