Good luck if this game means something to you

 

[Buckna]

Joel Dreessen wide open for a TD on the opening drive. No coverage on him at all.

I guess New England did decide to tank it after all.........

 

[McBokonon]

Welker down holding his knee, wasn't from a hit. Foot stuck in the turf on a cut.

 

[Txns8]

Welker... uh oh...

 

[PantherPower]

does not look good

 

[timschochet]

Welker is holding his knee hurt.

oops.

 

[Osaurus]

Welker down!!! Ru-roh!!!

 

[fasteddie_21]

His knee just gave out on a cut. Looks quite serious.

 

[jonessed]

Looks like a sprain. Ouch.

 

[Buckna]

Welker down. Went down holding his knee without much contact. Limped off the field.

 

[Txns8]

Looks like a sprain. Ouch.

Pat's fan?

 

[QuizGuy66]

WOW - um, so maybe benching guys isn't the worst idea in the world

-QG

 

[kncks12]

That did not look good at all! I own Welker in keeper league and Welker is visibly upset and he knows something very serious wrong

 

[jonessed]

Looks like a sprain. Ouch.

Pat's fan?

It looked like he sprained his knee. I have no idea how serious the sprain is, but it didn't look good.

 

[Buckna]

Welker visibly upset on the sideline. They haven't taken him inside though.

 

[Mose]

just had a shot of Wlker crying on the sideline.

 

[steviey]

Likely not a good sign that he is crying on the sideline.

 

[pizzatyme]

It's all part of BB's master plan!

 

[ianfitzy]

Can't blame anyone for that injury... Even if you are going to bench some of your starters, they are still going to play at least a few series before you pull them to keep them fresh.

 

[kncks12]

That just simply sucks he is one of best guys in NFL. Really freakin sucks

 

[Mose]

on a cart now being taken off field

 

[Buckna]

Welker now being carted inside.

 

[Mose]

I predict 90% running plays for the rest of the game from N.E.

I do concur by the way - it's the sort of thing that even happen in practice.Still can't wait til the Bengals get through their game -QG

New here?I agree, btw.

 

[jonessed]

I thought they had a decent chance at the AFC championship game too. Amazing how the worm turns like that.

Occurred on the offenses first drive and was non-contact. Just bad, bad luck.

 

[Arch Stanton]

True but it's also a good reason for the idea of keeping starter times limited.

 

[Arch Stanton]

Also I don't recall ever seeing anyone go down like that without it being something torn.

 

[steviey]

Time for Edelman to step up.

 

[Buckna]

Time for Edelman to step up.

Just did with a very nice catch and run for 25 yards down to the 5 or so.

 

[Buckna]

Announcers said still no specific's on Welker's injury.

Pats with a nice drive. They aren't taking the brakes off or running scared of injuries.

 

[McBokonon]

Announcers said still no specific's on Welker's injury.

Per Belichick's tweet, Welker with a lower body injury.

Zing!

 

[Osaurus]

Good idea sending Fragile Fred out there.

At the very least, get Brady out of there with his three broken ribs.

Injury: Left Knee. Will not return.That's all.

 

[Buckna]

Arian Foster with a very nice run. Made a defender miss in the backfield and made two others miss stretching it outside and then cutting back in. About 12 yards.

 

[jonessed]

That was a cheapshot.

 

[ianfitzy]

Hit was fine... Wasn't that late at all and didn't lead with the helmet.

 

[Workhorse]

The receiver was falling as the safety came in. Is Sanders supposed to stop in mid-air?

 

[Buckna]

Not a cheapshot, but worthy of drawing a penalty. Hope Anderson is okay, he's a great role player for the Texans.

 

[Workhorse]

I'm sorry, I see nothing wrong with that hit by Pollard.

 

[faulkfan]

Not watching the game...

Is Andre Johnson a decoy today with their season on the line?

 

[Ghost Rider]

Was Kris Brown's missed PAT just a miss? Or a bad snap? Or what? He has cost them in so many games this year.

Just a horrible miss IMO. Total shank job.

Oof.

 

[Workhorse]

Whoa, Brady back in the game. Odd decision.
