Bills!Win! Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 I can't stand Gronk but my fantasy team needed him. Lesson learned: don't draft players you don't like either way
PromoTheRobot Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 I missed the end of that game. So how did Gronk get injured? While the Pats were running up the score? PTR
bills44 Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 so he'll be unable to finger bang porn stars for a few weeks?
Big C Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 My fantasy team may be doomed. Really though, it's kind of dumb that they kept him out there that long. They didn't need him for the extra point. They already had 58 points.
benderbender Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Noooooooooo! My fantasy team needs those TDs. How can you hate Gronk? All you haters on this thread would all have Gronk jerseys had the BIlls drafted him over Troup. Nobody doubts his talent. I assume that, like me, most people have formed their opinions of him from YouTube
BRH Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Really though, it's kind of dumb that they kept him out there that long. They didn't need him for the extra point. They already had 58 points. This. It's not kind of dumb. It's monumentally, hubristically stupid. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving team or coach.
d_wag Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 his inclusion on the extra point team in general is strange. his inclusion on the extra point team at that stage in the game is laughable. i bet he only misses two weeks.
judman Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 I missed the end of that game. So how did Gronk get injured? While the Pats were running up the score? PTR If he was injured at 40+ points, coaches got some splainin' to do. What a great opportunity the pats* had to hand Mallett the keys for a quarter...
Golden Wheels Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 By all accounts, Gronkowski is a great teammate and one hell of a football player. But Belichick is to blame for having starters on the field in the 4th quarter when the score was 58-24. The great wheel of karma rolls on.......
sugar ray Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 I wish it had been brady insted of gronk.....cus personally i cant stand the s.o.b!!!!
ThurmasThoman Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 \if we had beaten tennessee and new england, this thread would do mario williams airport numbers.
zevo Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Actually he's supposed to be a pretty nice guy. Still hate his team, though. You can be nice and still be a douche
Beerball Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 By all accounts, Gronkowski is a great teammate and one hell of a football player. But Belichick is to blame for having starters on the field in the 4th quarter when the score was 58-24. The great wheel of karma rolls on....... eh, he was blocking for the final extra point. Fluke thing that I won't lose any sleep over. To the poster who mentioned getting Mallett some playing time...I guess that aint the bb way, but you're right. Give the guy some snaps here and there when games are in hand.
Charles Romes Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 The guy is injury prone. This was known way back in college. He broke down during the playoff run last year. If the pats are counting on him to be an integral part of their offense long term it's just bad planning on their part.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 his inclusion on the extra point team in general is strange. his inclusion on the extra point team at that stage in the game is laughable. i bet he only misses two weeks. I heard on the radio that he could be out for 4 weeks. He was in on a meaningless EXTRA point play up by a gazillion points. Ahhh the hubris of Bellycheat.
Pneumonic Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Since injuries are completely random, Belichick does not gameplan to them. He only worries about the things he can control. And that is the way it should be. Gronk is a part of the extra point team because extra points are important. Having a cohesive unit on extra points helps ensure that the unit doesn't end up losing a game because of a blocked extra point. Belichick has never made an exception to this and I doubt he ever will. Belichick's philosophy is "Football Players Play Football." That includes extra points. It's worked to the point of being a dynasty thus far for him so it's kinda silly to blame him for such a philosophy!

Again I say HUBRIS 59-24 again that was 59-24 You BENCH the starters after they scored their 40th point.
NoSaint Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Again I say HUBRIS 59-24 again that was 59-24 You BENCH the starters after they scored their 40th point. Who's on your backup fg team? It can be argued that gronks valuable enough to throw any scrub in his place there but I imagine there's not a ton of depth in that unit.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) That's not Belichick's philosophy though! then he deserves every injury the team sustains. :thumbsup: Gronkowski was injured on the Patriots' final extra point with 3:55 remaining in the fourth quarter. Not a Field Goal. An exact timetable for Gronkowski's return is unknown, but NFL.com reported Sunday night that the player has told people he will miss four to six weeks. http://espn.go.com/b...nd-patriots-win Edited November 19, 2012 by BillsFan-4-Ever
