CanadianFan Posted December 8, 2017 Share 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 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I looked, and the first half dozen or so comment in both threads actually look pretty restrained for Pats fans.

Steptide Posted December 8, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most Pats fans watching new it was going to be the tuck rule. The rule stems from a game between the Cowboys and (I think) Redskins where Troy Aikman was throwing the ball and at the top of this throwing motion hit the back of his lineman's helmet and the ball came out. The zebras had no idea what to rule. So they created the "tuck" rule. But it wasn't meant to say that a QB is still in the act of throwing the ball when it's down near his mid-section, like it was when Brady fumbled. As for it being called earlier in the year against the Cheaters, do you have a clip of the play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tuck rule is a good rule when applied properly. But do you see the difference between the Testaverde play and the Brady play? Testaverde was actually in the act of passing the ball and the ball was at the top of his throwing motion. On Brady's play the ball was at his shoulder and his was not moving forward even though Coleman claimed it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
