Obviously the big news was Wes Welker getting hurt.  Supposedly it is a tear of his MCL and ACL, which is the same injury that Brady had last year. So Welker may be at risk of missing next year as well.

In addition, we had another 4th quarter road collapse, losing after holding a 14 point lead in the 4th quarter. That was with the starters in there, it really was not good.

Were there any positive signs?  Yes, good play from some rookies. QB Brian Hoyer looked great in relief of Tom Brady.  Julian Edelman looked great in replacement of Wes Welker, catching 10 passes for 103 yards.  But still, he’s not Welker, and it would have been nice to have him as a 3rd option after Moss and Welker.  Now our 3rd WR has to be Aiken, so hopefully we get some play from the tight ends.  Also, great interception return by Darius Butler.

On to the Ravens!
