I guess its official now. Wes Welker's season officially ended on when the New England Patriots placed the receiver on injured reserve. At least he got some advice from Tom Brady who suffered a similar injury last year. Welker was running after making his 123rd catch on Sunday when his left leg buckled as he planted it to make a cut. He fell to the ground, grabbed his knee and was helped off the field. The Patriots have had a full week for Brady to practice with rookie Julian Edelman, Welker's backup, for Sunday's playoff game. It doesn't matter how much practice they have, nothing will replace Welker. He's one of the league's best at running after the catch. And teams have a tough time double teaming both him and Randy Moss. His absence could make it tougher for Moss to break free. The Pats just may have seen their chances at a Super Bowl run go down with Welker.
