Gronk defending that play

[LivinLovin&Breathin_Brady]

I have no issue with Gronk being in on that play. They were anticipating a hail mary pass and they guessed wrong. That was hardly surprising. My issue, as usual, is with McDaniels on that last offensive drive. Where he decided that running off the clock, and depending on Gostkowski who couldn't kick snow off the front porch all game, though he made the FG, was better than running up the score by 7 more points. Mc-stupid-Daniels ran those garbage running backs three times straight, and took the ball out of Brady's hands. Brady who had scored 3 TDs in the RZ previously.

I need McDaniels in GB, and he can take Michel, that pure garbage Birkhead, and James White with him.

EZ was too deep for a Hail Mary. Gronk out of position got exposed big time.

Maybe Gordon if he stays next season and gets to work on it during an offseason drill.

Gronk, without practicing approach angles or the agility to correct a bad one, was the last hope we had of winning the game.

You can’t say it was entirely his fault, there was a lot of bad situation football played by us today.

Coaching. In my eyes, it has to fall on coaching.

… and Ghost. But that's it.

Well maybe a little O

Maybe a little LOT of Defense. But about all.

At this point, tonight, I just have to laugh.
I'm perplexed.

Totally get what you guys are saying. But I even question having him in the game even in a Hail Mary situation. He is not like having an athletic Randy Moss late in a game defending this play. Gronk isn’t that kind of player and probably never was.

Gordon isn’t a midget. Put Gordon out there to defend that play if you want to be creative. Gronk has no business being out there especially with the way he is moving around this season.

This is on Brian Flores, who has no experience prior to this season as DC. Poor situational football.

What that Hot HC commodity where have you been??

 

[ScottishPatriots]

I can't believe they thought limping Tannehill was gonna chuck a 70+ yard hail mary, that was beyond stupid.

After the TD I'm beyond scared straight of that Defense.

 

[203Pat]

I don’t blame Gronk I blame Bill.

Bill is supposed to put players in position to succeed.

This was not the case.

A coaching debacle at all levels on that play. It starts and ends with Belichick.

There were many mistakes that led to the loss today, but that play was high on the list. Atrocious coaching.

Agree....Some of Worst coaching of BB career....

What world are you in? There was no way a gimpy Tannehill was going to be able to throw the ball 69 yards to the endzone. If they were "anticipating a hail mary pass" they didn't "guess wrong". They were being criminally incompetent.

My issue, as usual, is with McDaniels on that last offensive drive. Where he decided that running off the clock, and depending on Gostkowski who couldn't kick snow off the front porch all game, though he made the FG, was better than running up the score by 7 more points.

Take a valium. You're being even more stupidly idiotic than usual. Going up 5 with 16 seconds left, knowing you can burn off enough time on the kickoff to force Miami to score a 1-play touchdown is perfectly fine playcalling. Virtually every team in the league would have done the same thing.

And the Pats wouldn't be .500 without Michel, White, and McDaniels.

 

[stcjones]

Bruschi indirectly saying that was a dumb f***ing move by somebody.

Dumb fcking move by BB and inept coaching staff.....idiotic and lazy execution by players on the field....and like some have said maybe except for Gronk...he should never have been out there....and unfortunately his decline or disabilities were really brought to forefront after that play.....he has no legs or speed left...maybe something he will recover from or perhaps that is who Gronk is going forward

Great post.....completely agree.....some of BB worst coaching ever

The ball was on the Miami 31 yard line, meaning that it would’ve had to have traveled 70-75 yards in the air to have a shot in the EZ. It would have been impossible, and that’s not even bringing Tannehill’s shoulder woes into play.

If they “guessed wrong,” that is most certainly on them. That is simply terrible coaching. There’s no other explanation. They took away our fastest player and replaced him with a statue for the last line of defense.

I have zero blame against Gronk.

Guy is banged up playing in open space trying to make a game saving touchdown tackle.

He didn’t mention BB...he complimented the decision to have Gronk in

 

[XLIX]

Next thing we know, McCourty is attempting the game winning field goal.

Not necessarily a bad idea.... which one?

 

[Froob]

Which one ?

Feel like Jason would miss the ball entirely, but Devin would upset people more.

 

[JMC00]

No way should he have been on the field over D.McCourty. D.McCourty is on the field and he gets to Drake and pushes him out

 

[sb1]

“we”? So why was Gronk out there?

 

[sb1]

Next thing we know, McCourty is attempting the game winning field goal.

Or Brady is out there defending the Hail Mary.

I thought you said you were leaving. Why don't you leave?
