Anyone surprised we didn't go after Gronk ?

No, there’s a code of honor.

 

Exactly - while I know that FANS hate other teams and develop intense rivalries, players are just workers, going to work, at their job.  They know that at any moment they might be shipped another team, so to deliberately target one player for injury would be stupid. 

 

Do emotions fly causing fights?  Sure.  But NO player wants to see another get injured - most know how lucky they are to play in the league, period.

 

Look at what happened when Cadet got hurt - there were Pats players coming over to wish him well, not to say "Good, you Buffalo jerk!".

 

 

And taking the question the other way - knowing what we know now, um, YES would should have gone after him in the draft!  Though IIRC he had back injuries that caused several teams to stay away from him...

Our fines and suspensions are 10x what they would get.

Nope. The NFL set precedent with the Gronkowski hit, which by definition was completely different than the other suspensions around the league that week as it was after the play. Yet RG got exactly what JJSS got for an illegal block.They can't just go 10X what Gronkowski got. The players union would never stand for it and would argue it's the exact same thing he did to White. That's not how a union works. Let's say a Bills player with no disciplinary history hits Brady after the play. They must argue for the player based on past discipline meted out in similar situations.

LOL.

 

I hate to break it to you but you don't really own that bridge you "bought" in Brooklyn.

For the last few weeks, there were several threads on how we were going to get back at him....on how the " hood " wanted to exact revenge.....None of that happened yesterday....Gronk ended up having his typical game....and no one got up in his face.....

 

Are you on the side of " let's be the bigger team " or are you upset and surprised there were no repercussions?

 

Not surprised.

 

Thus sayeth McD, vengeance is mine, I will repay.

Not shocked at all. This team is soft like their coach who kicked a FG on 4th&1 down by 7 to the greatest QB to ever play.

 

McDermott has crashed on my approval rating as the year has progressed. 

McD is some sort of a cross between Dick Jauron and greg Williams.....we know how both of them did.......

I'd rather have my team act like professionals rather than a bunch of thugish punks. We aren't the Seahawks.
