mykidsdad Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) Gronk's late hit on White last week might end up costing the Pat's the superbowl. Here's my logic: The Pats lost by 7 points to Miami, and I think its fair to think that Gronk could have made up the point difference. This means Gronk's suspension might have cost them this game which may end up costing the Pats home field advantage which in turn could cost them a playoff game against Pittsburgh. If Pitt beats the Pats at Heinz Field in the AFC championship, I think Gronk's flagrant late hit is ultimately a key factor. I think he deserves the blame either way. That was a historically cheap shot, and I'm glad it cost him. Edited December 12, 2017 by mykidsdad

Miami was forching Brady to get rid of the ball quicker than normal and he may not have had the time to hit the drooling gorilla down the seam.
Da webster guy Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 Pats lost by 7 but I see your point. The thing is they really didnt need this win because if they beat Pitt next week then both teams have 3 losses and NE would have the tiebreaker, if they won this game they'd still have to beat Pitt in order to have homefield throughout. Pats looked pretty weak, the Fins are an average team but Brady really looked off. No matter what HE says about playing at a high level for several more years, he's starting to slip a little bit. Finally.....

Finally..... Ya if you watch his downfield passing alot of them are very inaccurate. What saves him are his 15 completions a game to his rbs
Charlottebillsfan2 Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 Brady looked really bad yesterday, Gronk would have definitely helped him and changed the way the phins played D. So im with you that loss last night could be blamed on Gronk. I'm glad the suspension impacted the game. But Here's the reality, if the pats beat the Steelers this week they are tied and own the head to head. So they can still own the first seed and home field advantage. But if the Steelers win they are now 2 games up and have the head to head so they basically they are three games up and win the first seed.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 It wasn't Gronk, it was the O Line and DB's that did them in last night. Steelers, Bills and JETS Brady and co usually come back pissed after a trouncing. Can they do it against the Steelers (IIRC) that won in the last minutes of their past few games?
JinxedBill1 Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 I've been saying it for years, Gronk really is a game changer. Without him that offense is pedestrian

Without him that offense is pedestrian He may be a game changer because of his size, but as Bubba Gump said, he is a drooling gorilla. I Can't stand him almost as much as I have the cheating POS Brady. He's a first class a-hole just like of that Pats team.

They are pedestrian THIS YEAR because of the absence of Edelman. They've played two games without him now (against TB too) and have looked extremely ordinary. With Gronk in there, Hogan is going to open and/or single-covered on many of these deep throws. Gronkowski's actions cost the team a game.

CuddyDark Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) No. They'll get every call from here on. The refs and the league will make sure Brady is a story line. Good or bad. Edited December 12, 2017 by CuddyDark

Doc Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 The Cretin’s absence hurt the Cheaters (hey, rocket surgeon Larry Fitz was right about that one!). But the Steelers game is the most important game, which is why the NFL didn’t do the right thing and suspend him at least 2 games.
frostbitmic Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) Suspension for the neanderthal is over and the patriots will beat the Steelers. The loss last night will also mean that they need to win out to get the #1 seed and of course we'll be in their way. They won't be resting the QB with deflated balls or the TE with a unibrow either.

He has been in the past, and he could have been vs Miami. I don't like the Steelers chances without Shazier, unless they can figure out some adjustments PDQ. Their D depends upon his speed IMO
