It’s sad how Pats fans still defend that. They always start by saying “it was inexcusable, but” and then go on to make excuses for him, saying how the poor guy was mugged all game, and what was he supposed to do? I hate the Patriots* on a level that has never been matched by any other team. When this incident happened, it became very personal. It's beyond the cheating. I want the Bills to end this bastard's career, and if they do, I will be cheering when it happens. How the Hell did he get away with a 1 game suspension?! His "apology" was one of the most insulting things I've seen. Amazing that Tre White did not suffer a more serious injury. If there was ever a player more deserving of a "Sweep the Leg" moment, it's Gronkowski. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koko78 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Be a damn shame if someone "accidentally" tripped over the 30 yard line and went shoulder-first straight into Gronk's knee as he's blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we already forget what this subhuman knuckle-dragger did to our franchise corner? In a just world, Gronk would seriously fear for his personal safety and well-being next Monday. I mean, sure, I'd like to see Gronk receive his comeuppance but you know if it happened, the next time a Bills player came within 3 feet of Brady it would be flag city.

Buffalo716 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 The Patriots flex Gronk out wide 30% of the time to match him up on a corner also... in our base 43 the Mike rarely covers the TE in man responsibility... his man responsibility is usually the RB the TEs are usually covered by the Sam or safety in man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 No matter what, Gronk will be pushing off more than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkim0904 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 put Edmunds against Gronk... Edmunds has a size and speed. Gronk will not have more than 50 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Gronk is a Cheatriots but I used to find him funny and obviously talented. But that dangerous cheap shot that only got one game leaves everyone wanting revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he'll be in the guy's ear all game, messing with him, and playing aggressively, per usual - and who are the refs going to be looking out for: Tre, or retaliation by the Bills? How do Tre's teammates handle a similar situation if it happens again? Hopefully more appropriately. Edited October 26, 2018 by Gugny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Maiden Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 We were all foaming at the mouth when the Bills played NE just 4 weeks after the incident...and absolutely nothing happened....beside us taking our usual loss ....why would this be different ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so amazed at how the Pats fans justified that play. Like a lot of them, a few of them friends of mine. Their justification was if the refs don't eject you the league shouldn't suspend you, and that Tre was somehow deserving of that because he was mauling Gronk. Goes to show how smug pricks like Kraft and Belichick can trickle down through the organization, all the way to the fans. It never hit me until then.

Dat Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I would call the night a success if #97 Jordan Phillips got worked up and dropped a 350 pound slam on that low life so he knows how Tre felt. I get the feeling he is the type would stand up for his new teammates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is on Gronk who is covering Edelman? Last year he was Brady’s security blanket.. Edelman is back and that is his favorite target. Refs should just be watching the game and call the penalties they see.. 12 hours ago, Da webster guy said: You're dead on. I was so amazed at how the Pats fans justified that play.

I never defended Gronk and thought it looked more like him auditioning for the WWE than a football thing. i also believe I said he deserved 2 games for it and a hefty fine.. it was stupid, and it was dangerous.. just an idiotic dumb ass thing to do! That said it has had no bearing o. This game as Brady will focus more on Edelman and probably Gordon as it seems by the way people are talking he is going get the 3rd best cover person at best on the team.

Ramza86 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I think we were able to contain Gronk like once in his career. I expect him to destroy us again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad but true...this and the cheap shot on Ryan Miller years ago when Myers stood there and did nothing are the worse that come to mind. I loved Myers because im the same exact height/weight and almost age until that happened. Also used to like Gronk and have even participated in some burning of the devils lettuce(during his by week nonetheless) cause we had mutual friends from college from his buffalo days. I hope Edmunds lights him up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
