Whose fault is it for the drop? Welker or Brady?

Wes Welker knew that he was going to be blamed for dropping the ball that was being passed by Tom Brady during the last four minutes of Super Bowl XLVI.

“That’s one of those plays I’ve made a thousand times. It hit me right in the hands. I just didn’t make it. It’s the most critical situations, and I let the team down,” said Welker, putting all of the blame on himself.

"The ball was right there. I've got to make the play. It's comes at the biggest moment of my life, and I don't come up with it. It's discouraging," Welker said.

The Patriots went into fourth quarter with a 17-15 lead. Brady's first past during the fourth quarter was an interception. When the Patriots regained possession, they drove down the field. During that drive, Brady's pass to Welker was not successful. Brady threw the ball way to far to the left for Welker to catch it. The pass behind Deion Branch was also incomplete. Receiver Deion Branch and tight end Aaron Hernandez both had dropped passes during the game. Welker should not take all the blame.

Brady was disappointed on a lot of the plays that the Patriots didn't make this year. Not just Brady, but Hernandez too.

"It's frustrating to lose knowing that if we would have made those plays, we would have come out with a victory, " Hernandez said.

No one should really be blamed for losing this game.

"We had too many errors and too many mistakes. We started off sloppy, and when you make mistakes early, they catch up with you later in the game," Hernandez said. The team might not be ready for the Super Bowl. Welker and Brady both should not be blamed for the outcome of the game. It's the whole team's play.
