Gronkowski = brittle bitch

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

Jason Witten >>> Gronk

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Some of the other teams in the AFC vying for HFA are probably smelling blood in the water right about now.

I like Gronk, but that is a horrible comparison.

He's ghey fer 'Bron

 

[cerealboi]

They ain't going to no SB without that guy

 

[redseat]

Shitty news for sure... Patriots have won without him however... Amendola and Bennett need to step up their games

 

[NWPATSFAN]

If only Gronk was as tough as Jimmy G.....

Garappolo is a tough little bastard.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Dude is soft as fuck. Sunday when I was at the game, even a Pats fan admitted to me that Gronk is a little bitch.

Not sure I'd call him a bitch but he's certainly injury prone. NE knew that when they drafted. Thus the reason he went in the 2nd rou b d and not the 1st. Dude is still a beast and everyone here wishes they had him on their team. Like buying a lemon he was just dealt some bad parts.

7th rounder????

 

[Judge Fudge]

He said offer away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cdumler7]

Patriots have nothing to worry about. Brady will just be doing this the rest of the season as the lead blocker producing the best run game in the NFL...

 

[NWPATSFAN]

They dont have a stout defense, first of all

Second of all, since Gronk has entered the league, they havent been able to win without him

They also didn't have a Marty B and Chris Hogan. They could be the difference?

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Well he is that big of a star in this league. Heck he is the face of Madden right now. This is the type of injury that shakes up the entire playoff race possibly. I mean with Gronk the Patriots looked like the clear best team in the AFC. Without Gronk I at least feel much better about the chances of beating them here in a few weeks and then in the playoffs even if we have to go to Gillette.

Can we have Derby back? We were just kidding.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Boo hoo...the Patriots might not get home field advantage...deal with it.....Green Bay did it...suck it up

Yep because this is the firts year NE has had to deal with injuries

 

[cdumler7]

I posted the deal it would take to get him back. Just send Scar over to coach our OL and Derby is all yours.

We'll trade you a Derby today for a Scar next year?

 

[NWPATSFAN]

This is NE and Gronk's way of keeping parity within the league. Roger should be thanking NE.

A Gronk-less patriots team is significantly less intimidating. I bet those odds start shifting toward the raiders.

I don't think so. I think they will remain the odds on favorite, assuming they don't loose another key piece. Keep in mind they just got back Lewis in the backfield.

So they lost an offensive weapon and gained another one. Add in that Mitchell and Hogan have been showing to be weapons themselves.

And their best offensive weapon they have added to this team from last year, coach Dante Scarnecchia.

 

[NEPatsfan]

I'm not sure I agree with that. I would say the really good teams have about 3 players that they cannot lose or they see a huge drop off in production. Gronk is one of those for the Pats. He is worth a touchdown a game more when he plays. So that is like the Pats going from a top-6 offense in scoring to now 25th in the league. They don't have a defense that can make up that kind of difference this year in my opinion.

I would say this moves the Raiders up with the Chiefs and Broncos not too far behind the Patriots now. Also have to wonder if they see another December collapse like last year that cost them that home field.

Yeah, ummmm, no.

This year Gronk has 25 catches for 540 yards and 3 tds.

You should probably do a bit of research before commenting.

Are they going to keep performing when teams no longer have to protect against a Gronk? Frees up quite a bit of my defense if I don't have to worry about Gronk crushing the middle.
