Rob Gronkowski

[Fencer]

The Broncos would not have played as conservatively on offense with a five point lead as opposed to an eight point lead. Manning was in Safe Mode most of the game. Broncos defensive strategy likely would have been different as well. Not saying the Patriots would not have won, but I highly doubt things would have played out the exact same way after kicking a field goal as opposed to getting stuffed on 4th down.

OK, but I doubt they would have produced much of a different result.

Gronk was a man today. He truly is a big game player

 

[Tom meets Kaepernick]

For the second straight postseason game in Denver, the offensive line didn't show up. We played better with half our offense out in November.

when gronk slipped on wet concrete.....yikes

what does this have to do with Gronk?

 

[Patriot Missile]

I've seen some dominating football players in my day. He is certainly one of the tops on the list. Hope he retires a Patriot and goes to Canton.

Random thought I had.

 

[Gronkowski123]

monster effort from the big man

take the fg, and gronk wins us the game. too good to be true.

 

[Boomer B]

He was epic in the 4th qtr. So was Brady. For all the hits and abuse they took, they didn't quit. Kept punching until the end.

 

[LightSkinSmurf]

Gronk is the most important player on this team not named tom brady. That's all I have to say.

Gronk is a legend

Poor guy gave his body and life and he is done

Love him

Will miss him

 

[CelticPatriot]

Rob Gronkowski is the best player in the league.

(In terms of at his position, he's a better TE than Watt is a DE, Revis is a CB, Brown is a WR etc)

Please enlighten us as to how he's done. Because you keep saying it without anything to back it up. Please, we're listening.

His legs are his mojo

His legs are beat up

Did u see game? Could barely run

You don't get better after those injuries

He is a warrior but he is diminished

We are 5 months into an NFL season, everyone is beat up. Gronk will be back to normal just like anyone else. Most of his issues today were altitude related cramps, anyway.

Rob Gronkowski apologizes for cramping up: ‘It was freaky that it did’

 

[A man named Brady]

Gronk is a transcendent talent surrounded by role players. He gets double and triple teamed because no one else gives a damn about the other receivers

 

[jumbo77]

Total beast!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[everlong]

He's currently tied for 8th all time in career post season TDs in a lot fewer games than most of the others. Assuming health and another run he'll end up second before it's all said and done. For comparison Rice had 29 games to get 22 TDs while Gronk has 9 in only 10 games. The closest TE's are Dave Casper and Vernon Davis at 7.

I'm sure the trainers and the team nutritionists were all over the players to drink a ton of water starting last Monday.

He played his freaking ass off and dug down deep, deep deep.

He doesn't need to apologize for anything.
