NE@TB . PRE-GAME thread

Means 3 TD's and 130 yds....

We should know more about Dwayne Allen either way at the end of this game if Gronk sits.

 

[long distance]

Maybe Brady can hit Allen in the hands so that we can legitimately complain about Allen's hands of stone.

yep, sometimes you have to force old Tommy to give it to the new guy right..

in his sleep he's still throwing to #11..

I think we already know...

Gronk is out for the game. He has a thigh contusion. This guy's act is so old.

I understand that Gronk has been injured, but "act is so old" ? Seems a bit much. I LOVE his act as a transcendent player who is arguably top 3 all time at his position... he blocks, he runs, he catches... the guy is gold.

 

[long distance]

i guess these would be the inactives then..

Burkhead (i), Rowe (i), Roberts (i), Gronk (i) Branch, Croston, ?Slater/Waddle

 

[PatsBoy12]

I think we already know...

Maybe. We'll see. He has an opportunity to show his worth tonight if Gronk really ends up not playing, and we'll need it.

 

[long distance]

oops, spoke too soon Elandon the Undying not out yet

 

[Mack Herron]

Good feeling is gone.

 

[RIpats88]

Sounds like if game was sunday you would probably see him.

 

[obgod3]

Maybe BB doesn't think gronk is needed and not willing to risk further injury. Are there any starters in the Tampa secondary playing tonight?

 

[BradyFTW!]

Gronk is out for the game. He has a thigh contusion. This guy's act is so old.

What act? The part where he's the best player to ever play his position, or the part where because that position is so physically demanding and because he plays it at such a high level, he's frequently injured as a result?

When he's having trouble walking in 30 years, maybe then you'll acknowledge that this weird, demanding entitlement you're expressing was a bit uncalled for?

 

[luuked]

At this point Brady may have to throw the ball so it sticks in his helmet/face gaurd (or does Allan wear one of the shields, in which case...good luck)

It would help if Brady would throw him passes that are not under or overthrown for a change.

 

[long distance]

to lighten up the mood

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Why the f### did he travel?

Maybe, just maybe, they thought his injury would heal enough overnight, but when they actually checked it out today it hadn't. Just spitballing.......

 

[Kdo5]

I don't want a shootout. I want this defense to finally show what they're capable off. They need to show up tonight and have a feeling they will.

Don't raise your hopes too high. I'm not trying to be a pessimist here. I still think we win but it will be a high scoring game. The defensive problems are very significant and have been trouble some for several weeks now. Expecting a turn around on a Thursday Night game feels a bit unrealistic.

Hope they wow me and I'm proven wrong.

Burt on pregame coverage ****ting all over Gilmore.

'Gilmore was overrated by everyone' 'Nobody in Buffalo is surprised by Gilmore's gaff's.

Really Burt? Nobody?

 

[SomePatsFan13]

Is Gronkowski seriously out dude?

Goddamnit man this is unreal
