Lets hold on the reports. just 3 days back it was reported injury isnt serious. So no one knows clearly how/when it happened.Get ready to be disappointed in January, no Gronk + this defense, if Brady isn't perfect it's all over.
If it happened vs Seattle as reported they could of done this surgery weeks ago and he'd of been back for the playoffs.
Yeah, but he's banged up as well. And we don't have a decent TE to pair up with him. Him and Gronk together when they were relatively healthy, unstoppable. Now, easier to stop. Every year, except 2014, this team has MAJOR injury problems. That Derby trade, in hindsight (though I hated it) is a killer. He's no Gronk, but he's looked damned good, and made a rival stronger in that position, AND, knew the offense. Anyone we bring in now, will be pretty useless except for blocking. This is a MAJOR ****ing loss.
this doesn't surprise me at all. i don't expect gronk to be healthy. thankfully the pats have bennet. aj derby would be nice right about now.
the sports book I'm on doesn't have SB odds up because of this right now hahaAnyone got the before and after on the Super Bowl line?
Put up points, finish drives, rinse and repeat. As long as you find ways to score. No one in the AFC looks unbeatable right now. Either the teams have great defenses with weak offenses, or vice versa.Well it certainly makes it much more difficult.
If you can win a SB without your #1 option and one of Bradys binkies, I don't know why you have him at all
AJ Derby could be useful now. Oh wait !
Trading Derby seemed stupid at the time, worse now. This sucks of course, but the presence of Bennett is huge. Have to make sure that guy gets healthy.AJ Derby could be useful now. Oh wait !
I agree: There is no one to blame (and I wish people would drop the whole Madden Curse routine).There is no one to blame. You cant predict how anyone can get injured on a play. Thats football. People will obviously blame the pats but its just terrible luck.

Derby gave BB no reason to keep around. His blocking was awful and his alligator armed a few throws.AJ Derby could be useful now. Oh wait !
There's zero proof AJ Derby is even good, i don't get all these AJ Derby lovers.
He has 6 catches for 65 yards for Denver, if you think AJ Derby could change this teams fortunes than that's pure delusion.
What is he Tony Gonzalez now?
A passrush or LBs who can cover would be useful now, AJ Derby can stay in Denver.
I am not saying he's our saviour. He's been with us all of preseason and until trade deadline. Just another body we could use at TE is what I meant.There's zero proof AJ Derby is even good, i don't get all these AJ Derby lovers.

Bennett is great but he is not gronk. Gronk is mostly uncoverable. Plus we also lose a big part of our blocking scheme if we move bennett out and the oline can suffer. its a trickle down effect.Isn't that why we brought in Bennett? We still have a top 5 TE, a good WR Corp, and two great pass catching RB's.
Not sure why we're dead in the water over this.
