All_Pro_Bills Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Maybe nobody else see's it this way but I'll offer a slightly different perspective on the hit that knocked Gronkowski out of the game. I think taking him out of the game actually aided their comeback. It required Brady to change his reads and progression and look elsewhere for a receiver. Jacksonville had the big TE more or less under control to that point. They practiced all week to focus on taking away Gronk. Now with him gone the defense needed to adjust their coverage to other receivers, alter their secondary calls, they didn't seem prepared, and they didn't do a good job. It's obvious the Patriots lead a charmed life. Hope I'm wrong and I hate to say it but I see no way the Eagles are going to win the SB. Throwing 38-21 out there.

Theyre in the super bowl. How karma "works"? Like, there's a specific set of principles by which this cliché functions?
Matt_In_NH Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Everyone said “karma” when he did not get a bonus. Guess what he made all pro and got it anyway. Everyone said “Karma” when he got knocked out. Guess what his team won and he will play in the sb. There is no such thing as karma.

Hmmmm. If we're so poor at evaluating and drafting talent, how come we got all these traded and FA players, playing on teams in the final 4? And we had the same crew doing the talent e v a l and draft this past year.... The reason we have scraps at QB is organizational unwillingness to take the Big Gulp and pay what you have to/make what trades you have to to bring in quality. We've been trying to be smarter than everyone else and find a good QB on the scrapheap of players teams are willing to trade/FA - then giving them 3 years to develop, 1 guy at a time. The reason the Eagles have all that talent at QB is back in 2015, they made an organizational decision to go "All In" for excellence at QB and have been pursuing it since with a series of trades, FA signings, and draft day tradeups, that most pundits said were nuts and would set them back as a franchise. Strange thing is, it hasn't since they were able to trade away excess quality QB for a good ROI Edited January 23, 2018 by Hapless Bills Fan

While I usually wince at hits to the head, it was very sweet to see that oaf get his comeuppance. TBH it didn't look like an intentionally dirty hit by the Jags defender. It might have been an accident as the Jags defender leads with the shoulder but follows through to Gronk's head. Nice that karma finally caught up to one these Pats players, finally!! It was enjoyable to me to see the Patriots losing while Gronk was in there, then he leaves and they come back to win. Just like they won the Super Bowl last year without him. The shaved gorilla is irrelevant to the Patriots' success and is the most overrated player in the NFL.

LOL Is one to assume by your tired, feeble, and oh-so-played-out Rob Johnson hatred and your Matt Foley reference that the past you’re living in is somewhere between mid 90s and early 2000s? Seems like an odd choice of times to ruminate over, but maybe it’s just me. If coach had only put you in in the fourth quarter, you’d be state champions, right? Sorry if the reference is a little too recent for you. Anyway, carry on...

Also if you cannot see the irony of "calling people out" about the quality of your screen name when yours is a pejorative term I cannot really help you. BTW my screen name is self deprecating. I "live in the past" being a Bills fan because recent times (like a 17 year drought) were too painful and embarrassing. And no its not about mid to late 90s to 2000s. why in the hell would that be the past I would like to live in?? its directly related to the 88-94 time period. Go watch some Ytube vids on the Bills from those years, they were magic. Anyway I was answering another post, quite honestly I might add. If you were a Bills fan in the late 90s watching Rob Johnson practically fail to do anything on a multitude of plays on offense and then watching your coach (Wade) fail to pull him and put somebody who could (and did) do something in games like Flutie then you literally had to hope for a game ending injury for Johnson. That was the only way he was going to come out and therefore the only chance for the Bills to win. So wishing for a Johnson injury was not so much glee at seeing him get hurt, it was needing him to get the hell out of there so the Bills had a chance at winning. Wade was way too stubborn and felt the pressure of ownership to not pull the plug on "Robo sack" because of the big contract. So that rationale is somehow "tired and "feeble" because it accurately describes a situation for me and a huge bunch of other fans at the time?? That's a laughably lame criticism. Wait you aren't Rob Johnson are you?
