The Curse of Vinatieri vs The Curse of Welker

(disclaimer: I don't believe in curses)

Despite having Belichick and Brady, the QB with the best playoff record by far, the Patriots haven't won the Super Bowl since 2004.

Not counting this uncompleted year, they've been the playoffs 7 of the last 8 years. They went 18-0. They made it to two Super Bowls.

But haven't won it since 2004.

After the 2005 season, the Patriots let Vinatieri become a free agent. They haven't won since. Vinatieri has won a Super Bowl since then with the Colts.

After the 2006 season, the Patriots signed Wes Welker. They haven't won since.

- - -

Today the Patriots play the Broncos, but with Wes Welker playing for Denver.
If the Broncos win the Super Bowl, it shows that you can win with Welker and the Curse of Vinatieri reigns supreme.
If the Patriots win the Super Bowl, it proves definitively that Welker is cursed.
If an NFC team wins the Super Bowl, all of this means nothing.
