Fwiw, Gronk is moving off of the knee shots the way you'd check and move with hard leg kicks. It might be interesting to look into to see if he's enlisted someone from Bones' camp.
The Refs this 1st half clearly have favored the Lions:
1st play of the game. Pettigrew holds Chung to let Tate break the 42 yard run.
The Holding call on Vollmer was BS. Even Aikman said it wasn't.
The refs missed the entire Detroit D-line lined up off-sides on the 3rd & 5 completion to Edelman during the 1st quarter.
The Holding Call on Chung was BS. He didn't grab the jersey. He was engaged with the TE..
On the Blount TD, the Refs missed the Illegal hands to the face by the Defensive lineman on Wendell.
They missed the Facemask by the Detroit O-lineman on Ninkovich on the short pass to Bell that was blown up behind the line.
The Hold on Collins wasn't a hold. Again, no grabbing of the jersey and didn't have his arm around the player.
The Offsides call was on Ayers, not Collins.
The late flag on Arrington was BS. Fuller was the one who initiated contact..
Lastly, Lafell's false start?? He has, literally, just taken his stance when the flag was thrown..Not sure what the side judge was looking at on that one.
The refs are supposed to know this stuff and yet, they are only calling it one direction.. In favor of Detroit.. Luckily, the Pats have shown to be good enough to overcome it..
usually you don't have to worry about an opposing team scoring points with 40 seconds left, lol. a testament to the Pats (although they did have some crappy plays), as well as the NFL rules today. hey i'm not complaining
What I like is we're grinding it out on offense, not taking chances, not getting lucky break out plays. The break out plays are coming too, I sense it.
Seriously if you are Brady, why the hell would you even think about retiring? You get to do all this, play with Gronk, you got a guy on the other side of the ball as elite as you are in Revis and not to mention BB.
Jimmy G is going to be sitting and waiting for a LONG time IMO
The question is not whether Brady wants to retire. If he could play at this level at 50, I'd give at least 50-50 odds he would.
The two real questions are: (1) will his body continue to hold up, and (2) will Garoppolo continue to improve (look at his training camp before the first pre-season game)?
Fwiw, Gronk is moving off of the knee shots the way you'd check and move with hard leg kicks. It might be interesting to look into to see if he's enlisted someone from Bones' camp.
If you check out the interview about 2 weeks ago in all access, he states he is intentionally picking up his knees and dropping his shoulders to deliver blows at contact. He's getting advice from somebody...
