what a td from Gronk...

i have seen it at least 20 times...what a great TD...

it was awesome...

and you ?

GRONK !!!!!!!

You are right, IPP!!

(And I'm sorry...)

FORZA GRONKA!!!!

We don't really need additional proof that this guy is the juggernaut of tight ends. The way he destroyed that poor safety was just sick.

He's a MACK TRUCK.

love how he just jumped into the endzone.

collinsworth's reaction was priceless.

My favorite part was when he was ripping away from defenders, swatting them away like flies. Just nuts.

Like most of us here, I've watched a lot of football in my life. But, I've never before reacted to a play the way I reacted to that one: I simply laughed out loud in pure amazement. I DVR all the games to rewatch once I've regained my sanity and sobriety, and I just keep watching that play over and over again. And I still laugh every time.

I love the touchdown, but did he have to go that hard into the end zone? I wish Gronk will protect his body a bit more. He is so football smart but he does not protect himself. I was so happy when he lifted his leg when Ward tried to go low.

My favorite part was Edelman's block.

Yeah, particularly when right after the initial block, Edelman whacked him again just for emphasis. It was great.

In my opinion, Gronk was protecting his body by jumping into the red zone. He was expecting the db to go low and he countered by jumping.

That is awesome!

I think the best part about it was that you just knew it was coming. The previous td play when he took Sergio to the camera trolley and got the 15 yd penalty. He was pissed. I was saying to myself as soon as he caught that ball at the 20 "he's scoring". Wouldn't have mattered if the entire Colt team had ran on the field to try to stop him. He was getting to the end zone. I think everyone watching that chain of events knew it.

We knew ... on draft night ... we just knew.

Loved it, could watch it everyday. I agree Gronk was pissed, you know no one in the NFL wants him pissed at them at this point.

If health permits, second greatest pick in Patriots history when all said and done?

I don't care if this gets written in every thread, even if for no reason, we're watching the best Tight End to ever play the game.

Ever.

Gonzalez numbers were about playing 17 seasons. Gates isn't even close. Vernon Davis? Child please. Witten? Gronk is 4 touchdowns away from tying him.

Gronk is the. Best. Ever.

He's the best offensive skill player in the NFL right now. Better than Dez, better than Calvin, better than Graham. He scares a defense as much as Randy Moss did in his prime, maybe even more because Moss never got flagged for burying someone into the Camera truck 15 yards out of bounds.

Nobody can a.) block like him, b.) break tackles like him and c.) brings his attitude.

Jimmy Graham proves his point to the NFL by dunking the ball over the goal post for a 15 yard penalty. Wow, intimidation! Emotion! Gronk? Well, ask Sergio Brown how Gronk earned his penalty. Ask him if he'd want to play that blocking game again.

And then after he does his damage he's a big kid on the sideline who everyone that doesn't need to play against him loves the hell out of.

Gronk has the attitude of a 70's Steelers' Linebacker and produces like Randy Moss or Jerry Rice when healthy, while blocking like ...well, you might need combine a few players to reach that.
