Report: Gronk telling teammates he plans to play Thursday night

Pats are still 1 point underdogs...though some say it's pick em'

Although he won't play every snap (I'd bet about half), needless to say nothing could help JB more than having Gronk one one side and Bennett on the other. It will help everything, running, pass protection, receiving threats.

Definitely a big help. I have high hopes that we win this game if the defense doesn't poop itself like last week.

makes life much easier for jacoby!!

Man this is going to be a fun game to watch.

JB , Mr. Cool, gets his early audition..... possibly or will it be the JAG as he continues his resume building performances and adding "I'm a tough SOB" to it??

Two of the best TE's bookending the Oline which produced one of the best running performances I've seen from this team in a long time headed by a 250 pound gazelle who can either hurdle a DB or drag six of them into an endzone.

Can't wait.

This is pretty big, the Texans run defense is already suspect especially on the road, coming off a short week and flying to New England should help as well.

But having Gronk, even with a 3rd stringer at QB if JG doesn't play will still make the defense have to play honestly against the pass. If NE just comes out in two WR and two TE sets, they can either run or pass with pretty good success I'd imagine, I think this opens up the run game quite a bit just having him on the field.
