NE dropped a number of balls that clearly should have been caught

You really think all of those passes were championship-quality passes? That each of the receivers was 100% to blame and the passes were 100% perfect?

You should spend some more time watching/playing football and reevaluate your statement.

I have to give a lot of credit to Eli for putting that pass down the sideline in the perfect spot. That’s what a top QB does with the big game on the line. Brady fell a little short this year but he’ll probably be back again.

The standard for receivers is that if a pass is catchable it should be caught. Period. Wes Welker is one of the best in the game because he nearly always catches balls like the one he missed. That doesn't absolve the QB for being a little off, but in reality all passes aren't going to be perfect.

Hmmmm.....well, as a football fan, etc. for decades, I'd say (since we're focused primarily on the last 4th quarter drive) that Brady did a spectacular job. He was missing some key players, to be sure....but by God, when your quarterback hits you IN THE HANDS, and you're being paid 7 figures to catch footballs, then yeah...the receivers deserve the lion's share of the blame in this case.
