i'm with brady on this guy. i love him.

Everyone played well. This game could have gone either way. We should all be happy that the Pats gave us such a great football season. Thank you guys! I'm already looking forward to next year.

It takes a quarterback and a receiver to complete a pass. Welker is being generous, I think, since the pass thrown to an open man could/should have been more targeted. A lot of things can happen in seconds on the field - its possible Welker was just a little surprised by the location of the pass.
