@ByTimGraham: Jim Leonhard says Wes Welker went on 'a suicide mission' to eliminate Aqib Talib http://t.co/keZDkzarZa
@DonteStallworth: I have nothing but love and respect for Bill Belichick, but he's absolutely wrong about Wes Welker's hit on Aqib Talib... and he knows it.
@MikeReiss: Bill Belichick: “I was asked about the hit on Talib, and I feel badly for Aqib ...
@MikeReiss: Bill Belichick: "The way that play turned out, I went back and watched it, which I didn’t have a chance to yesterday....
@MikeReiss: Bill Belichick: " It was a deliberate play by the receiver to take out Aqib. No attempt to get open. ...
@MikeReiss: Bill Belichick: "I’ll let the league handle the discipline on that play, whatever they decide. It’s one of the worst plays I’ve seen. ..."

@MikeReiss: Wes Welker, from after game: "I think he was thinking the same thing and wanted to come underneath and we just kind of collided..."
@MikeReiss: Wes Welker, from after game: "It wasn’t a deal where I was trying to hit him or anything like that. I hope he’s OK. ..."
@MikePereira: People asking about thej hit on Talib. That is not a foul. Ball was touched by 88 about the same time as contact, Can't be OPI.
Feel like this may be worth breaking out. At the time I was livid about the hit and the fact that it wasn't called. I really felt that the injury to Talib really opened up the Denver passing game. But I'm willing to be of open mind here.
Was it a dirty hit? Or just illegal? Or neither? And what was the impact of it on the game?
