Gronk might not even miss a game!

I'm having trouble thinking of any scenario where I let Gronk anywhere near the field against the Eagles. From my layman's point of view, no way that hit to the knee didn't do at least some damage.

Play that knocked Hightower out looked dirty also. Dude chop blocked him at the knees.
I thought another Patriot just landed on him. Seemed like a freak thing.
He got hit at the knee.

I'm on the same boat...rest him, I don't care about the perfect season - before or after the Broncos game. I care more about that ring at the end.

Gronk should rest at least a game or two, he's too important for our end goal for him to get injured

Really glad to hear that Gronk shouldn't miss extended time.

If there's any question about his knee being sore, though, I'd sit him at least one week.  When guys play and they are unsure about one part of their body, they overcompensate elsewhere and that can cause more serious injury.


The Patriots are going to grind out wins from here on out.  Hopefully the defense will bounce back from giving up 30 points to Osweiler.  I guess you can't entirely blame them considering the offense couldn't stay on the field.
You’ll have to excuse my lengthiness—the reason I dread writing letters is because I am so apt to get to slinging wisdom & forget to let up. Thus much precious time is lost.

Maybe they just use him as a decoy.

Just a bone bruise for Gronk, no tear, per ESPN.

Not right often but I'll take this one.

Yeah, not being planted was huge. It was a Paul Pierce style overreaction.

Good drive right there. Offense just needed some time to get used to no Gronk

Last two games we can't protect the edge on rushes

  • Yup
I don't get the plan at the end of the half there.  If it was "let's run the ball and run out the clock with the lead", then fine stick with.
