GoBills808 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 4 minutes ago, Livinginthepast said: What kind of self obsessed Ahole appeals a most obvious, cowardly and indefensible hit that luckily resulted in a very light penalty?!!! OMG I never thought I could hate the Pats anymore than I already did. Cheating, being gifted the last 2 SBs by the idiots on the other sidelines. Nope, not enough. Win at all costs, play dirty, rub it in. If Belichick actually thinks the hit was "BS" he would order the might dbag Gronk to NOT appeal and FINE him himself. and to think I actually felt sorry for Gronk when his knee got shattered vs the Browns in 2013. And he did that to Tre while his team was winning a game by a mile late in the 4th quarter. Yet he is going to appeal? on what grounds?? I'm guessing because the union to which he belongs automatically files on his behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think I could get more fired up about this, but I just watched the video posted on ESPN of the NE* broadcast of the hit. Guy 1: White came down on the sideline, and then Gronkowski landed on top of White and I think Gronk may get called for... Idiot: GOOD! Good for him. You wanna hold him the whole way?!? Guy 1: a personal foul. http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=21655874 And you wonder why the Pats* are hated? Your player deliberately concussed another player who was laying face down on the ground and your response is "GOOD! Good for him."? off! The morons ignore the blatant push-off by Gronk on his break and whine that a guy who weighs 70# less pushed him. You can't make this **** up!

Doc Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Looks like he's going to lose the playing time and stat incentives for that $5.5M bonus. If the writers don't vote him 1st team AP All-Pro, he doesn't get it. Hopefully they send him a message by making him 2nd team at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'd bet $1000 that at least 10 other Patriots would go flying at Hughes like he just killed their child. Wouldn't even be surprised if Pats came flying off the bench to enact "justice" in a situation like that. Forgot to mention in my earlier post that I am also disgusted with the cowardly Bills, who just stood around whining to the refs, and didn't go after Gronk, and give him a beat down right then and there. As others have said last night and today, the inaction on the Bills' players to exact immediate retribution was very disappointing.....very pathetic.

Shamrock Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 1 week seems pretty light in lieu of CTE and concussion. Warren Sapp's dirty hit on Clifton in the 2000's maybe forgotten by this dirty shot. Sapp's was at least in bounds, in play at the time... just "dirty". Late, Intentional, High to the Head, opposition player White, defenseless... Gregg Williams been asked to comment yet? But, I'm wrong, it was completely Ok as he was being held during the route and he was upset that that wasn't flagged (as long as we're ignoring his push off as well...).

Turk71 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Is this the message the league wants to send? Winding up and smashing a face down player in the back of the head with a bulky metal brace while out of bounds, well after the play, in a move no way whatsoever part of a football play; Even admit that it wasn't, in fact you were just "really frustrated". Equals one game suspension. That is messed up. Teams can only lose a player for a game to take out a star while he is on the ground after the play is over? Wonder if those elbow braces will be more popular. Edited December 5, 2017 by Turk71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Just lost a lot of respect for Larry Fitzgerald. And what an idiotic statement. The cretin's actions shouldn't hurt the team, but if White misses games as a result of the cretin's action, which hurts the Bills, it should only merit a fine? Time to retire Lar.

Very interesting take from a guy who typically comes off very intelligent. “Heavy” 5 figure fines do not deter multimillionaires. That’s why there are so many throughout the season. Players don’t care. One player, can’t remember who, said he sets a couple hundred grand aside every season just for the fines he plans to rack up. A guy with Gronk’s money would laugh at a fine from the league and that’s not a punishment even close to fitting the crime in this circumstance.

Jacobo Peterman Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The most egregious cheap shot since Packer Charles Martin body slammed Bear Jim McMahon in1986 which earned a two game suspension. A one game suspension sounds like a back room deal between Foxboro and Park Ave.. NFLPA will make Gronk file an appeal and stretch out the decision so he sits out next Buff game. Next Monday night game is Pats Dolphins then Pitt @ 4:30... Follow the money people TV ratings are down and the NFL wants Gronk the next two weeks .. most likely would play very little in the 16th game against the Jets anyway unless it means home field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid this speaks to how the Bills are viewed around the league, unfortunately...just a speedbump for the Patriots in the AFCE, and Fitzgerald's response pretty much confirms it. Here we have a DROY candidate who got put into the protocol and all Fitzgerald mentions is how Gronkowski's suspension will effect the Pats. Sobering imo.
