It's easy, and only takes a few moments.How the hell did his arm break/injure so easily if he was properly healed? Did the Pats medical staff rush him back too early? I thought his broken forearm needed 6 weeks to heal, and he got that. So what was wrong tonight? A regular arm doesn't break when you just fall on it the way he did tonight.
I love Gronk, but he's starting to be Vick/QB is to Gronk/TE. As good as he is , if he expects to rumble through NFL defences for another 3 yards every play his shelf life will be short and he'll always be out when we need him most.
true, but I feel we are better equipped offensively this year....I mean we still moved the ball with ease on that defense...I just hope woodhead is good to go

Next year they should rest him for the entire regular season and just bring him out for playoffs. Same with Hernandez.
After watching Tony Gonzalez literally SNATCH balls out of space with defenders draped over him, it is hard to anoint Gronk a #1 TE in the NFL designation. Gonzalez amazes me for his durability, stamina, and play-making ability.
Except he broke it on PAT duty and re-injured falling on it.
Wonder if Visanthe Shiancoe gets called back at this point.

I'm going to look on the bright side. If Gronk was so quick to re-break his arm then it would likely have been just a matter of time, and he wasn't getting through the playoffs healthy.
Shut him down and let him take care of that arm and start fresh next year. The Pats pretty much did without him most of the year and his other injuries have had a chance to heal, and overall his body took less abuse than it would have normally.
He had a short off season and his ankle still wasn't ready for much of TC.
Could be a blessing in disguise, or at least, there are some positives to take out of this.
