LaFell for whatever reason just stopped and allowed the defender to make a play on the ball if LaFell keeps running at worst that's an incomplete pass.
I can't believe people suggesting putting Gronk with a gimpy knee in the game, i'd rather be the 3 seed with a healthy Gronk than the 1 seed with Gronk missing the playoffs.
This team is DONE if Gronk makes his knee worse and misses the playoffs, why would you risk that for a bye week?
I said I didn't endorse the idea of playing him, even as a decoy. Not sure what you are trying to get at. My POV on Gronk is pretty much exactly what Rob said. When he's good to go he needs to get out on the field even if he's not exactly "100%". We need the bye week.And your point is? Put an injured player out there as a decoy to pull coverage? not sure that was gonna be the answer today? Actually I am sure it wasn't the answer.
LaFell was pretty much a complete negative today. With the drops and quitting or running the wrong route he really contributed to the loss.They need to find a running game and STICK with it. They started to get away from it late in the 2nd quarter and then all but abandoned it from there out, despite having a ton of success early on. Brady might be the only QB in the league that can win without any running game, but it's getting him killed. They NEED to run the ball for an ENTIRE game and get some rhythm going. They need to fix that Oline somehow.
I really can't pin this loss on Brady at all. Sure, that 1st INT wasn't the best of decisions, but they happen. The 2nd INT seemed to be 100% on Lafell not running the right route or breaking it off wrong. Aside from that, Brady was nothing short of incredible dealing with the pressure and Oline failures once again. And the drops... got to stop dropping the ball.
People are comparing gronk's arm surgery and acl to this injury and think he needs to be 100%. Sure but he doesnt 4 weeks to be 100% . right now they miss the short passing game because they got no running game. We cant run the ball efficiently and tonight we threw too much vs an eagles team which is poor vs the run.

Again, I am not saying for him to play injured. I am saying he doesn't have to wait until that deep bone bruise is no bruise at all. A deep bone bruise is more of a pain management thing to begin with. At some point, it is going to be a minor bruise that might hurt some, but not limit him in any way.

I wrote it in another reply so I will keep it short here. It is not a bruise, it is a bone bruise. There is a huge difference between those two.
I agree with everything you say. Like I wrote in another reply in this thread, I feel McDaniels "takes the cheese" that other team are offering him too often.
