Early word for Week 7: Don't Hold Your Breath for GRONK @ Jets

[Soadisthebest]

OK...it's really starting to bug me now...what is it?

is it Service Oriented Analysis and Design?

or System Of A Down?

this is irking me...the not knowing..I'm sorely irked...

That is classified information.

I hear what you're saying Supa, I'm not into the pot stirring drama queen aspect of the media, just want to hear some football talk, none of this he said she said crap. "Oh Brady said this and I think he meant such and such and oh wow how tragic" Yeeesh, it's unbearable.

I'm not meaning to defend the mediots as much as maybe it seems. I'm just stating that I can at least understand the fact that they get paid to stir up controversy on talk radio since there are often 2 sides to what they are talking about.

I hate it just as much as you do, which is also why I choose not to listen. If I want to talk or hear about football I prefer to come here. The problem lately is that there are just as many mad scientist conspiracy theories on here too. I imagine that it will stay that way until it's over, but no--I don't expect it to be over this weekend either. As a matter of fact, I think I may prefer that he doesn't come back vs the NYJ. There have been too many weird chapters written in that saga, and I wouldn't be surprised if those thugs took some unnecessary cheap shots at him just for *****s and giggles.

It's system of a down. Just admit it.

If this storyline continues AND the Pats continue to win WITHOUT Gronk then every week increases chances of them just saying the hell with this and put him on IR.

To be honest with you,regardless of him being the best TE in the game when healthy,between the media and the family Gronk,this has become a complete circus and I think if he isn't ready soon then IR would be best for the team.

We are the circus. The team is fine.

The Pats should amputate and move on.

I'm sick of the Gronk drama. After this reply I am going to ignore all threads and stories on him. If he comes back great, if not then I am sorry that the team wasted valuable practice time on him. This does not mean that I don't wish him good health. I do.

 

[FortressX]

Excellent news.
Hearing he wont play this early means at least it's 50/50 he will play.

 

[the Patriot]

If he misses the first playoff game, then I'll be upset.

 

[Big-T]

Past caring now.

PFT reported this time last week he would play vs NO too so that blowhard Florio is just trolling for hits like he always does with Pats "news".

 

[Dagg]

Well we def need Gronk come playoffs..to get there not so much. However without him we run the risk of falling very far behind Denv for home field which IMO with the team they have is huge this year.

Every game has been tight and I dont care when he plays but stop saying maybe this week every week thats the worst thing you can do. Say week 12 and be done with it. He is going to need some real game work to get back into game shape at least a few weeks IMO.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

At this point, I'm fine with Gronk out. The Pats are in a good place so far without him. Could you imagine making it to the post season with a fresh, stored away super weapon . That's something we could have used in recent years. The rooks would have a whole season under their belts and hopefully Vereen, Kelly, etc, would be back by then, and fresh. This could be a blessing in disguise. (fingers crossed). I'm not too thrilled with 2 division games in a row coming up with such a depleted starting roster, but with Talib back (fingers crossed), we have a good chance.

 

[vyrago]

lol, I never listen to those clowns, maybe twice a year when I visit the family in Boston. Todays was the 1st time in a while and it's a bunch of nonsense, it lasted less than 5 minutes before I shut it off.

1. I purely hate that A!!clown Felger and would need a gun to my head to make me listen to him.

2. Listening to Misserotti gives me a sore throat in my ears.

3. They have proven over and over again, they know nothing. When Gronk shows up, he'll show up--or not.

Meanwhile, the Pats keep winning. What's the problem? Why are so many of you falling for the crap-stirrers?

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Thread Ignore ON!!!

 

[reflexblue]

The team is 5-1.......Five and One without him. Let him make sure hes completely healed before he starts playing again. Hes had five surgeries in less than a year, and four on his fore arm.

 

[patchick]

I'm impressed by the fans who know exactly why Gronkowski hasn't played, who has been making decisions about his progress, and what medical, psychological and financial factors are motivating those people. Others must have much, much better sources of information than I do.

 

[everlong]

It's all going to come out that the reason Gronk isn't playing is because he's too busy leading a double life and has been knocking off Dunkin Donuts around Massachusetts. He didn't want to be outdone by Hernandez and calls it his own ad campaign of Gronk hit and runs on Dunkin'. All Dunkin's are at his mercy except the one at Gillette which he calls affectionately his safe Dunkin. He's proving to be much smarter than Ahern because who would suspect Gronk in this case? I think giving the employees swirlies as he fills his pockets will ultimately be his undoing though.

 

[patsderoer]

The Patriots need Gronk in the playoffs. Thats the main priority. To be healthy for the playoffs. If Gronk wasnt injured in the playoffs the last two years, Patriots would have won at least one SB, if not two.

They are winning without him. The rookies get experience. No need to rush him back IMO.

 

[Nehalem]

Probably a simple trick

Against NO: Leak early in the week that Gronk is going to play, forcing them to waste time preparing for him, then don't play him.

Against NYJ: Leak early in the week that Gronk isn't going to play, so they don't prepare for him, then BAM, out comes the Gronk :rocker:

 

[fnordcircle]

Dear OP,

Stop posting.

Sincerely,

The world.

 

[Dingleberry]

We are the circus. The team is fine.

Exactly. Circus affecting the team? Where?

It reminds me when a fan chastises another for looking ahead. "Don't overlook the Jets by talking about Miami in 2 weeks!"

We are fans. We can say, think, feel ANYTHING we want....whether media-fed drama or not. The team will not care.

You and I are just not that important.
