I honestly wonder from when they called that rule to when it was removed how many times it was called. I probably don't even need to take my shoes off to count them. It was honestly the dumbest rule. Never understood it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we all know how the NFL operates. ...one game and he's out for the high flying Fins......two games and he misses the Steelers game.......hmmmmm....think you're onto something.............

Success Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 That hit changed Gronk’s rep forever. He went from goofy, fun-loving frat boy to roid rage cheap shot artist. His lame defense - which too many pats fans rolled with - was all the more ridiculous given that the game was well in hand. Poor thing had to cope with his jersey getting tugged in a 20 point win. Can’t stand the guy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats pretty douchy. No I lumped an entire fanbase after 16 years of the obnoxiousness based on a multitude of evidence. It started on those Alt. usenets boards, it evolved on Messageboards, comment sections on NFL.com and MSN, Pats fans I have met in person etc. Years of Dbaggery!!!!

Livinginthepast Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Speaking of the tuck fumble by Brady. It was called a fumble by the refs and then overturned by replay. Would they have reviewed it in 2001 based on the review rules if it had not occurred inside 2 minutes?? If Brady fumbles it 2 plays earlier then its a fumble with no review? correct?

Freddie's Dead Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 You need to look no further than Wilfork's dirty low hit on JP Losman. The next season, the same thing happens to Brady, NEW RULE!!!!!! NO HITTING THE QB BELOW THE KNEES!!! (except that we were called for a penalty for hitting Brady in the thigh after the new rule). The "just give it to 'em" game, Gronk almost never getting called for pushing off (except in this last game), etc. Cheats fans are ridiculous thinking the refs and league have it in for them. THE NFL BURIED SPYGATE!!! All the evidence was destroyed so that no one other than the NFL and the Cheats would know the extent of the cheating. WTH else do you want?

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. Gronk's knees are targeted play after play. D-backs can't tackle him high, so they attack his knees and ankles. Bills' fans have no problem with these deliberate, premeditated attempts to end Gronk's career. Yet, the one time he reacts, after hundreds of dirty hits, he's the dirty player... Makes sense SMH... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those of us that follow the NFL know that. It's only the casual bandwagoners that think it was changed because of Brady. Look, I know it's tough being a Bills fan. 18 years of being irrelevant. We NE fans have had some 7-8 years spells too. The difference is that we didn't just make stuff up to make ourselves feel better about sucking...We lost because we weren't good. We didn't rabble on about imaginary "cheating" or try to change well-known facts. That would have been embarrassing and pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
