Where would be now with Brady healthy? - Page 2 - New England Patriots Forums

One loss, week 3 to Miami. No doubt Brady pulls out the Jets and Colts games. Probably beats the Chargers as well.

Forget Brady; the Dolphins game would have been completely different had early in the game Cassel not been called "in the grasp" on his TD run, easily one of the worst officiating gaffes I've seen this year (and that's saying a lot).

16-0 all the way

This would have been a completely different team with Brady. It would be undefeated and people would be complaining that winning by 30 points was not enough and McDaniels and Pees had to go.

Hmmm... other than the record, not much would have changed.

10-0, without a doubt.

Enjoy this season for what it is worth.

so, what should we talk about on a message board? Same old boring, stupid threads? I too wonder where we'd be if we had brady, its just a discussion, its not like he is trying to activate an alternate universe here.

We beat the Colts no problem.
He somehow would have made a difference in the first half of the Jets game effectively keeping us out of the hole we dug.
I don't think Miami would have been able to use the wild cat the way they did if Brady was tourching their secondary the way he did last year.

That leaves the Chargers, and the way that game went down I don't know if anything would have changed it. But Brady certainly could go a long way.

actually, as I recall Cassel threw the ball at the ground for most of the game, some how I dont think brady would have done that, meaning the game could have been closer, with more points for the patriots on the board.

It would be in clear control of the #2 seed at the least. That doesn't mean that the defense is fine, it just means TFB would have been TFB. Hard to imagine that with how well Cassel is playing, but that's just how good #12 is. This defense needs work.

10-0, there's no doubt.

The teams swagger would be tracked with a seismograph.

Well seeing as only one thread on the first page out of 20+ is a "what would happen if we had Brady?" thread, I'd say there is plenty to talk about besides that. It's a tease to talk about Brady being here much in the same as it is a kick in the groin to keep talking about "what if [insert theory here] had happened in the Super Bowl?"
