Gronk likely to play vs Saints

[letekro]

Jupiter is a major stud in the hand/wrist revision surgery area. If he is working on you, it's because things are majorly f-ed up. Probably the best doctor (at least in the Boston area) to be in charge of his treatment at this point.

Great...Glad Gronk is getting the best care, but this does not give me the warm fuzzies for an appearance any time soon...

He's on "clear to play" detail.

Who exactly is paying the Jupe and Andrews?

Not only clear to play detail, but the article says he also performed the 4th surgery.

 

[BuddyRyans46]

lol some people refuse to believe that Gronk ain't playing on Sunday. Okay.

 

[JMC00]

If Gronk misses this week I hope Belichick puts him on IR and ends this "will this be the week" stuff.

Played 6 games without him, can play the other 10 (or more) without him.

Gronk's season is over...looks like his arm hasn't healed properly.

 

[patsfanincleveland]

Not only clear to play detail, but the article says he also performed the 4th surgery.

That's why he's on "clear to play" detail.

So you think this is all a BB stunt to surprise the Saints when Gronk runs down the tunnel? I hope so, but I don't think I can survive the blood pressure spikes and (as Defense Rules said above) all out grumpiness engulfing me a mere 2 days before the game!

No, not a stunt, it's just everyone keeping things close to the vest and the media doing it's usual speculating to get people to go to their website. Could be the doctors are going to make the call tomorrow and everything is going along as planned.

How about he misses this week then gets cleared to play next week? or the week after? I'd rather have him for 6 or 7 or 8 games than none. This will he play or won't he play doesn't bother me, when he can play, he'll play, that's good enough for me.

Because go to pro football talk...Andrews needs to examine xrays of the forearm to clear gronk to play and has NOT yet done so

Once he does there is a chance he could be cleared or not cleared

Schefters story is sensationalism at its best when itddoesn't mention that the analysis hasn't been done yet on his forearm

 

[SVN]

To be honest, looking at our schedule and how the jets and fins seem to be a threat , he is need more in the next 2 weeks than this.

 

[fgssand]

The problem with this offense is the OC. He is not using the personnel correctly. Charlie Weiss had far less to work with but some how found a way to win a Championships with what he had. Even when the injury bug hit, he knew how to adjust. Bah, I'm just grumpy today.

Far less to work with???

I do not agree at all.

RB's

HE had Antwain Smith and then Dillon for his running game.

He had Kevin Faulk.

I love this years running game RBC, except right now we are down to two Bolden & Blount and a banged up Ridley. For one season, give me a healthy Smith please.

WR's

Troy Brown.

David patten

Then along came Deion Branch & Givens.

For one year, i will take the 2001 WR's or the 2003 & 2004 WR's.

Now we have three promising young rookies, but there best days lie in the future.


TE's

Jermaine Wigguns in 2001 who I would take in a heart beat over Hooman & Mulligan.
Then he had Watson and Fauria.

For one year......I'll take what we had back then.

QB

I will take the 2001/2003/2004 Brady over the 2013 version.

Gronk is NOT cleared to play it's been reported.Supposedly the team made things worse by making him do the second surgery.The offense will remain in sleep mode for at least another week.

Old news, doesn't mean he wont' be cleared later today or tomorrow

Where are you getting that the team forced him to undergo the second surgery?

I am no doctor but I am guessing the first surgery made the second one required due to the hardware in place.

Yep Belichick and the Patriots held a gun to Gronk's head and made him get surgery. Gronk was never allowed to get other opinions or make his own decisions. Nope, this is all on the Patriots.

Actually there is less optimism that he will play Sunday than ever.

I'd like to remind everyone that BB has as much say in his rehabilitation as us fans.... He just listens to the doctors, and leaves the ultimate decision to Gronk and his medical team.
