[Big Turk]

There is a simmer going on right now and thre lid of the pan is starting to bounce up and come down a little bit...wint be too long before something blows there...way too much smoke to discount there is a lot of discontent over there...

1 title with him, 4 without him.  Wouldnt call it a hit to their dynasty.

The loss of Gronk would hurt them none the less.

Gronk was put on injured reserve and never played after Week 11 of the 2016 season. The Pats would go on to win Super Bowl 51 against the Falcons.

 

Brady/Belichick won before Gronk. They've won without Gronk. They will win after Gronk.

 

He's irrelevant.

 

Great player, not instrumental to their success though. Don’t know if I’d label him irrelevant as he’s a main cog when in the lineup, but he isn’t the straw that stirs their drink.

...so then why the continual worry from their opponents as to "who will cover Gronk"?......fake news?.........

Not at all. He’s a major matchup issue for everyone. And I’m not taking anything away from him as a player. But the Pats*** have proved that they can win championships without him.

Anyone else think that maybe someone in the Pats* organization leaked this intentionally to find a mole? There were probably very few people who knew about Edelman and then the story breaks before it should. Now you have this story coming out a day or two later. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a discreet firing within the organization. 

 

This is totally something they would do.  Everything with this franchise is cloak and dagger type stuff.

Smart  - tell suspected snitches 5 different stories and see which one ends up on Reddit.  I learned this is High Level Business Meetings 101.

Dang it!  I can't focus on work until I have heard that Belicheck is resigning and Tommy got suspended for avocado PEDs!!

 Richie Incognito has been spying on the Patriots from a Boston gym. The NFL officials were paid off for 20 years.

 

I knew this was coming

..begrudgingly, I agree....just when you think they're DOA, they find a way....dammit............

Brady wants to prove he was the reason why they are a dynasty. Belichick believes he is the reason. Belichick is going to beat Brady to the punch and retire before ol' #12 does so when they go in the toilet, bellyboy can say see.... i was the reason.

I knew it, it’s a “Rex trap” as it’s now know across the league.

This would not really surprise me, I think there is a battle of egos and legacies going on there. Funny thing is I bet they both want NE to suck when they are gone. Brady getting rid of JG was part of that battle. BB retiring, Gronk suspended/traded or Brady suspended for peds would be my best guesses if something really big is indeed happening. What if it was all three, that would be ......  a good daydream?
