Quarterbacks:
Going 5-for-14 in the second half doesn’t cut it.  Especially if you’re a two-time Super Bowl MVP.  Included in that second half was a throw that fell at the feet of a wide-open Wes Welker with less than four minutes to play.  Welker wasn’t the only one he missed as Brady sent passes sailing over Randy Moss’ head three times on the day.  On the other hand, he did throw for two touchdowns, so it’s not all bad.
