BB Admits What We All Know...

The 2011 and 2012 teams would have both won the Super Bowl with a healthy Gronk (2011 in spite of Eli completing all but 10 of his passes). 2013? Not so sure. After Talib sprained his vagina, we were outgunned and there was really nothing to speak of at WR outside of Edelman. Also Wendell getting his **** pushed in by Knighton didn't help matters either.
Talib also left the AFCCG in 2012 as he needed to take a Midol.

True but the Pats biggest problem in that game was that they could get into the red zone but not punch it in. Gronk would have helped. The game would have been much more of a shootout.

Yep. More to my point was that he would have helped vs Boldin
 
.....and you know he has a lot to say.
I think we got a little taste at the press conference during Deflategate when he was asked about Spygate and said, "look we were filming signals in front of 80,000 people.) I was so surprised he addressed it all. The first time I think we almost saw BB go off.

Yep. At 63 years old and with his legacy secure he might be getting to the point of being comfortable -within reason of saying what is on his mind.
 
I did some math once that with a healthy Gronk the Pats score 5 more points a game and allow 2 less.

Clearly BB knows this.


And two or three more players get thrown out of the club per game.
 
I don't think it'd be controversial to say if Gronk isn't healthy last year we don't win the Super Bowl. So why wouldn't the reverse be true?

Logically speaking, both would be false because both didn't happen.

It's quite a testament to Brady that they kept clawing back and trying to make it close with what they had. I still remember seeing Manning and Welker standing next to each other on the sidelines watching Brady and literally shaking their heads at what he was (almost) doing.

Re: 2011, Gronk should've been like Willis Reed in 1970. Brady's first pass of the game, instead of throwing deep to OchoStinko, should've gone to Gronk even if only for a few yards. The vaGiants would've had to account for him, the team & the fans would've been pumped & jacked, and the Pats win the SB even with a hobbled Gronk.

Re: 2012, they definitely beat the Murderers in Foxborough with Gronk. The SB? Who knows. SF did win in Foxborough that season without Gronk. Damn the quack medical staff (and Skippy too, for sending Gronk on a long sideline pattern on his first play in the POs, a route that almost guaranteed that he would land on his elbow in an awkward manner).

Re: 2013, all that you said about what happened in Denver is true; but had the Pats taken care of business in Miami, then the AFCCG is in Foxborough in the nasty weather, and I don't know if the Donkey-faces, even with all of their aforementioned advantages, could win under those conditions.
Moot point regardless, because nobody was beating Seattle in the SB.
