Upon Further Review: End of Game Fight

IllegalContact · Feb 3, 2015

I just looped it a bunch of times and this is what I see as what transcribe:

Chancellor: tries to get to Brady, Gronk grabs him and Chancellor stopped.....no harm by either
Irvin: takes issue and puts his hand in Gronks face...musta said something because Gronk exhibited little patience and started towards Irvin is immediately in backpedal mode....in fact, it appears that the last thing that Irvin wants is to tussle with Gronk, but too late......Gronk wants to bounce someone
Bennett: Tough guy thinks he'll step in with a push, but Gronk brushes him off.....Gronk still want to bounce Irvin.......who is still backpedaling to the next county
Dobbs: looks like he's got a woody for attacking Wendell from behind, but Gronk manages to send him for a ride with a headslap
Gronk: Irvin ran away and Bennett was hanging around....puts him on the ground and tears his helmet off
Irvin: decides he might have a chance against hooman.......based on how Gronk mauled Bennett, Irvin was smart to get the hell out of dodge.

Something tells me this is the kind of crap that went on every day in the Gronk family basement, cuz Gronk is as good at scrumming as he is at football

I think the bitterest pill for the the legion of boom to take was the fact that not only did the pats not get intimidated, they beat the crap out of them physically.......from the moment edelman trashed lane...legion of boom get smashed

Any YouTube link to just the fight part?

What was Slater doing? The whole O other than Brady is beefing and hes cheerleading. Lol

FourierSeries · Feb 3, 2015

Gronk threw the entire LOB out of the club.

I thought the fight was strategic, originally. Why not go out there and try to start a fight, maybe the Pats get a flag and the ball gets moved back slightly making it easier to get a potential safety.

There's one other thing that wasn't visible from the TV shots but was from sitting in the stands. When the brawl started, not a single Patriot ran on the field ( not a coach, not a player, no one) while many (20 Plus) players and coaches from Seattle ran on the field. There was the perfect example of discipline or lack there of on Seattle's part.....

I'll post more about game observations later...Got home a midnight last night and this thing called work....

all I know is that as happy go lucky as gronk is, he made some pretty big dudes look small......he absolutely manhandles bennett, and basically threw dobbs for a ride with one swipe.....

if there was enough time, he would have stuffed all 11 under a TV stand......

It was almost comical watching a gang of Seahags taking one cheap shot after another as they run away like rodents. Then one guy tried to blindside him and as they went to the ground where Gronk got an edge there too. Lucky for that rodent that an official broke it up.

Until then Gronk was looking like Frankenstein, taking swipes at anything that went by him in blue and florescent green. It was like a watching a movie called Gronkinator.

Nice write up, but I have to say, that's a pretty tasteless gif to put up. Are we celebrating inflicting horendous injuries on opposing players now?

not at all.........it is in the context of 'legion of boom' and the supposed intimidation that notion implies up against the 60 minutes of all out effort that the pats provided.....even if Lane had not been injured (lane got injured hitting the ground not from edelmans hit).....the big takeaway was how edelman responded........the pats offense smashed them relatively speaking.

Not sure that message is as obvious as you think it is.

So much for Seattle's physicality, Bolden blocking gave Cliff Avril a concussion.

Boots Electric · Feb 3, 2015

Irvin backpedals and then, here's the funny part, he tries to take a cheapshot at Hooman. Hooman was trying to help break up the dogpile and Irvin tries to blindside him. Hooman held his own though.

That first guy Gronk gets his hands on in the end zone goes flying!

well....because it's not that simple......nobody wishes injury, but would the pats have had the same success if lane hadn't got hurt or if avril hadn't gotten the concussion?

It's like the way Chancellor runs around hitting people......is his goal to hurt someone? he will say no, but if you watch the hits he gives, that message is not as obvious as he speaks it.

it's a rough game.....edelman's hit was unnecessary as lane was going out of bounds anyway......but that's how it's played.......intent to injure? if the degree of contact is not necessary, then none of them are as innocent as we would hope

Video. Slows some of it down a bit so you can actually see what happened. Something I love at the end of this video and I'm not sure if it was shown or not was Vareen and Slater walking to the huddle then they both stop to Hug (love the camaraderie) and you see Tom yell at them to hurry up and get into the huddle. Even for a kneel down he's still fired up.

Exactly - look at the risk/reward. Pats can only lose, Hawks have something to gain.
An exact analogy is the Belichick coaching video about the risk/reward of a false start/offsides a yard or less from the goal line. Potential gain is 5 yards, potential loss is half the distance - "a few inches" in his words.
