Around the NFL: Conference Championships Edition

So Brady's offensive coordinator said it wasn't a dropped ball, yet you guys are up here saying it was. Blows my mind. I guess you all know more than he does. SMDH

O'Brien: Wes Welker Super Bowl play not a drop (http://content.usatoday.com/communities/thehuddle/post/2012/03/obrien-wes-welker-super-bowl-play-not-a-drop/1#.UPyWB3cp98E)

The ball, thrown high and behind, caromed off the hands of Welker, who was wide open and could have put New England in the red zone with a catch.

Also, the Giants offensive coordinator said it was a bad pass.

Bill O’Brien comes to defense of Patriots' Wes Welker - The Boston Globe (http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/articles/2012/03/04/bill_obrien_comes_to_defense_of_patriots_wes_welke r/)

“It wasn’t a great throw,’’ Gilbride said. “It would have been a difficult catch. Welker was expecting the ball to the inside, where it should be on a seam route.’’


If anything, it would have been a spectacular catch by Welker.


I don't hate Brady, I hate fanboys constantly swinging on his nuts and giving him credit for a lot that he doesn't do, and push off the blame when he fails.

How's the game looking so far? I refuse to watch and my Facebook thread is quiet which must mean the Ravens are losing.

So now a shoulder to the head is a 15 yd penalty.

Why don't you just require all players to wear flags around their belts, Roger?

I don't think its a force to hire, just to interview.

No , the NFL specifically wants minorities in as head coaches. I know some may take this the wrong way, but I don't see equality in regards to the ratio of black players to white players, so I'm not seeing a problem with hiring the best candidates for head coaches even if it turns out to be that all hired happen to be white.

Now that was a drop by Welker...lol

Dude, it was a ****ing horrible pass. Stop making excuses for Tom. jesus you nut huggers are ridiculous.


Tom's a clutch, 3 time SB, so when he fails, it's somebody else fault. Nope. It wasn't Tom.

Brady probably slept with your GF. Lol.

Why didn't the Pats get a penalty for the same hit?

Why didn't the Pats get a penalty for the same hit?

Pats always get the benefit of the doubt. Of course, I didn't see helmet to helmet.

NC_Skins, pats get all the calls this is nothing new. Patriots are like the duke blue devils of football with getting calls.

Why didn't the Pats get a penalty for the same hit?Same reason a ratbird receiver (Boldin?) didn't get a penalty for pushing off then running over a corner. The referees are unpredictable as hell on penalties more than 5 yds downfield. It's a long-running joke now. Only thing guaranteed is that the D gets screwed in the long run.
