8000 Butterfingers Given to Boston

[chknwing]

On Tuesday, 900 pounds of Butterfingers (8,000 bars) were delivered to Copley Square in Boston -- no doubt mocking Wes Welker's critical drop late in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLVI.

Even as one who dislikes the Pats...Ouch :(

They should have sent them to Baltimore as a thank you to Lee Evans.

[Mr. Scot]

Or a bunch of hooks to Billy Cundiff.

Kinda hope this doesn't become an annual thing. I like bets between mayors and governors, etc. But this is kinda harsh. Pretty sure Welker already feels pretty bad.

Sure, hate on the 1500+ yard receiver. Let him go, see what happens, Pats fans.

He would be a 500 yard receiver on any other team......

Only 500 in Green bay? Carolina? NO? Dallas? NYG? Pitts? ect ect....

Lol. That's pretty funny. Pats have had their glory, it's nice to see the fall

he had nearly 700 yards and a 10.3 YPC with Joey Harrington, Dante Culpepper, and Cleo Lemon throwing him the ball.

He'd be a good Panther. Haters got to blame somebody.

[Kurb]

Excellent hating there

Uhhmmm, not so fast.

The Patriots have two 1st round and two 2nd round picks in the 2012 NFL Draft.

They will be back next year with 4 marquee rooks on the roster.

Belichik and Co are far from done.

I like that people are defining "the fall" as making the playoffs 3 years in a row and getting to the super bowl in one of them. Once they start actually missing the playoffs, we can talk about them really falling. Yeah sure, they were one and done the last two years before that, but it wasn't as if they were a mediocre team those years that barely managed to make it anywhere at all (like the Broncos this year :P)

let's be real here... the patriots past SB wins were all mostly close games, too. winning in the playoffs is tough. they are far from done, and a super bowl loss doesn't tell us much about the immediate future of that team.

as KG pointed out, the Patriots have a number of high picks. They've got a few more years left in them...
