CanadianFan Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 Meanwhile in the Pats forums, The hero of the moment they highlight on the front page of their site which used to be Tom Brady is now Gronk. Gronk is now the hero of the moment: And in threads where fans were critizing Gronk for the hit, or the NFL for the lenient penalty, those fans are getting massively down-voted: https://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/threads/just-imagine-if-gronk-grassy-knoll-super-merge.1142170/ https://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/threads/time-for-gronk-to-apologize-to-us.1142184/ It's distasteful.
The Frankish Reich Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 I looked, and the first half dozen or so comment in both threads actually look pretty restrained for Pats fans. I was kind of disappointed in fact. I expected some of the "Gronk should have whipped it out an pee'd on him" stuff ...
Steptide Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 It was a very bad hit, but if it was the other way around, their would be fans here applauding it. I have no doubt about that 1
nedboy7 Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 Gronk should have been done for the season. But we all know how the NFL operates.
Gugny Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 Is this all you're going to post about? How many threads do we need about ONE !@#$ING HIT??? 2

I'll bet a lot of people here know more about the Patriots than most of them do 3. Real Pats fans are hard to come by, but the two good ones I know are mad at Gronk as well. I'd be upset if a Bill did that. (Dolphins fans I know are fed up with Jarvis) 4. I'm not going to even look at that website.. I just know. 5. Who is our dirtiest player? Hughes is a moron to the refs but I don't see any malevolence in his play. 1

No one should be happy about the hit. But there's 50 !@#$ing threads about it already.

But it's hard to overcome the Pats hatred. 1 minute ago, Gugny said: No one should be happy about the hit. But there's 50 !@#$ing threads about it already. yes but this thread is about their fans. Something I enjoy to complain about. 1

I'll quote Rambo: they drew first blood. Take Gronk out so he doesn't throw another tantrum against a rookie. He proved he's dangerous on the field after the whistle.

Gigs Posted December 8, 2017 Posted December 8, 2017 Yeah, it’s too bad they aren’t as classy as the rest of us. Like the time Tom Brady had his knee destroyed by Bernard Pollard and everybody outside of NE LOVED it.

It was a legal football play
