You know, I'm watching NFL Network right now, and I have to say, am I the only person worried that Wes Welker is going to destroy us tomorrow?

dont talk like that, you want soap in yo'r mouth boy??? :lol:

Don't get me wrong, I think we got a heckuva deal for Welker, especially with Satele holding down the O-Line, but he's the X Factor tomorrow that makes me nervous.
-
our current record is what makes ME nervous about tomorrow :lol:
-
That's true, but we have done ok vs. NE the last few years, despite the record ... still, it's going to be an interesting day tomorrow.

I've been praying for a Brady injury, I'm not sure if that makes me a bad person or not. In all seriousness, I do like the way our team matches up against the Patriots, for some reason our personnel gives them problems.

How does one of the worst teams in nfl history have the audacity to get rid of a player with his skill set,character,production and toughness.
Please don't give me the whole " i'll take a good center over a slot receiver any day" arguement, it has no merit because we had no idea we were getting a good center when we let him walk,basically we let him go for almost a third round pick this year..... PATHETIC -

The weather might help tomorrow they are forecasting rain and wind, the NWS issued a hign wind watch too so that may make these two teams equal.

Of course it has merit, it's what happend. Welker is a great player, but not what we needed long term. We are the Miami Dolphins, not the New England Patriots. We were not a WR away from the Superbowl last year. We have a lot more pressing needs than a good, even great slot reciever. Secound round picks can be used to fill those needs, so Wes was tendered as such. Remeber the Pats gave up a 4th for RANDY MOSS, so getting a 2nd and a 7th was pretty nice. -

The Welker trade was terrible. It helped the Pats become unstoppable. Isn't the goal to win the division and eventually the Superbowl? We traded with our chief rival and they got the better of it, as they always do. You never make a key division rival better, ever. If that trade had been with a NFC team I wouldn't mind it but making the Pats harder to beat makes us a worse team. I disagree with the team's philosophy in trading with the Pats, we've done it before and as before they got the better in the deal. Our front office was out of its league when dealing with the Pats.
This is the only place where I've read that we got the better end of that deal, the deal is universally laughed at and has made us a laughing stock in media circles. We also could have given a 1st round tender to Welker. Welker is a really really good player right now, hes better than any player we have on offense right now outside of a healthy Ronnie Brown. -

First off, good to see you again CNC. I disagree with all of you as does the vast majority of people the watch the league. That trade is roundly and soundly lauded as a steal for the Pats, which it was. We got snookered. Who is the 1-13 team and who is 14-0? Welker has been HUGE for that team, our Oline is OK thats it. We are a worse team and we improved our key division rival. Good front offices do not make this trade. We cannot and will not win the division for 3-5 years at a minimum, you never improve your division rivals and make the division harder to win. The big picture is winning, we are farther from winning because of that trade. It was terrible. -
i just wish we could have traded him to minnesota instead. i heard spielman was interested.
