You are being disingenuous. You're referencing that the Pats* played their 2nd stringers and we still didn't score. Their 2nd stringers were on their offense, which had little to no effect on our offense scoring. I'm just trying to figure out what impact Gronk sitting has on our offense scoring in your eyes.
Brady was completely frustrated in the first half, but to speculate on what would have happened in the second half is entirely pointless because it didn't happen. You can think and assume whatever you want about what could have happened, but the fact is that the Pats* offense got crushed by our defense that game without Dareus, Gilmore, or McKelvin.
