Patriots postseason hopes comes to a screeching halt.

**Thanks to Boston Barstool for the images**

I, along with the entirety of New England, witnessed what could be the end of any hope of the Patriots making far into the postseason. In a freak accident the NFL's leading receiver in catches, Wes Welker, tweaked his knee tearing his ACL and MCL. Brady's go to guy this season is now out for the rest of the season and possibly part of next year. Who's to blame here you ask? Belichick for playing him in a meaningless game? Absolutely not, this is the definition of freak accident, the first quarter of a week 17 game and he tries to make a cut and his knee buckles. New England fans have to step up and face the facts, God hates us this season and gave us our time in the sun. Now he's playing a cruel joke with this stunt. Brady, who knows alot about knee injuries spoke on WEEI today:

You can't replace him, there's no doubt about that," Brady said Monday in an interview on Boston sports radio station WEEI. "There's nobody that can substitute in for Wes and think that they're going to be Wes. He is everything you ask for.

"We've got to move on and we've got to go out there and play, and everyone I think in different areas has to pick it up. I have to play better, Julian [Edelman] has to play better, Randy [Moss] has to play better, the offensive line, running backs, tight ends, we all have to do more. I think that's the commitment we have to make to one another."

These are some big shoes for little number 11 to fill.

Rant: Number 1,523,874 of why I hate Favre and those who run the NFL

Last year, the Patriots were absolutely ripped the fuck off of a playoff spot thanks to the dumbasses that run the television time slots for the NFL. Here's how it went down: Patriots and Bills were supposed to play at 1, the same time as the Jets-Dolphins game. But, some asshole rescheduled the Phins game to 4:15, so it could be a prime-time game and nationally broadcast. And the playoffs, broke down as so, Patriots had to win and the Dolphins had to lose in order for the Pats to clinch. Fast-forward, Patriots win. Eric Mangini sees this and being the bitter dick he is, barley even tries at the end of the game. Favre, on the potentially winning drive lofts a ball in the air, loses, so he can back to dicking around with the media in the off season as he loves to do. An 11-5 team doesn't clinch, while the Chargers go on to play in the post season with an 8-8 record... awesome.

Back to the point of this post, well I was extremely excited to watch the Patriots-Dolphins game this weekend (being a displaced fan I only get some many games I can watch in the comfort of my own home). SO MUCH FOR THAT LUXURY! The game has been moved to 1 from the Sunday Night game for fucking Favre and the Cardinals. The goddamned battle of the corpse QB's replaces a game with divisional importance and a significantly higher fan base. The reasoning, "[to] ensure quality matchups in all NFL Sunday time slots." Fuck that.
