1. Eli is now a better QB than Tom Brady! We felt this way six weeks ago, and the playoffs did nothing but confirm our opinion. Is Brady still a great QB?!? Mmm ... tough call. We'd say he is still very good. And before you say, Wait, Eli has so many more weapons to use! we'd counter by saying Tom Brady is allowed to do much more than Manning. He throws the ball 40+ times a game. Tom Coughlin will never allow Eli to do that consistently. Ask yourself this: Did you have any doubt that when Eli got the ball for the final time that he would move them down the field?!? If you're honest, the answer would be no. Yet with just under a minute to play, did you really think Brady was going to move his team down the field?!? See what we mean?!?
2. Except for two drives, Brady SUCKED! And sucked a lot! That safety on his first play from scrimmage?!? Killer. Absolutely killer. It's something a rookie does. It's something Eli used to do. QBs who suck do it. It was an awful play. And Brady's been making a lot of those lately. That interception he had?!? Again, a piss-poor play. Gronk was open and Bradly badly under-threw him. How do you under-throw a guy who is playing with a busted ankle?!? Seriously. How is that even possible?!?
3. Why are we blaming Wes Welker for the loss?!? That pass he "dropped" late in the fourth quarter was about 5 percent his fault. The other 95 percent falls on Brady's once powerful shoulders. The pass was high and, more importantly, behind him. If he had made that twisting catch, you would have turned to the person next to you and said, "Wow, what a great catch!" The fact is he was open and Brady again ... wait for it ... made a terrible pass. Not content with that boner, his next pass to an open Deion Branch was ... behind him. SHOCKER! If either one of those passes is on the mark, the Patriots run out the clock and win the game.
