Comments on: Rob Gronkowski: I definitely make the final call on playing http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/02/02/rob-gronkowski-i-definitely-make-the-final-call/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Wed, 22 May 2013 12:43:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: ihatestupidpeople http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/02/02/rob-gronkowski-i-definitely-make-the-final-call/#comment-1556335 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 03:05:53 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=204422#comment-1556335 Are there rules to posting we can see before our posts just happen to vanish? I’m fine with rules, just wish I knew them… Saying people shouldn’t wish that Gronk’s career should be over by purposely hurting him shouldn’t be censored should it?

If the head coach doesn’t want him dressed, he isn’t dressing.

True, but you seem to forget how horrible the Pats D is. The Giants D is waay better than what the Pats field. And I’ll take the Giants offense vs The Pats defense all day long. You’re not facing Joe Flacco and the WR deficient Ravens this week. And by the way, Tom is going to get hit, alot. Pats better pray Gronk heals up, because Brady’s going to need every weapon he has. Blue Hell is coming for you Mr Brady!

The 2011 Patriots are a very different team and are far more equipped to handle this mediocre Giants team. The Patriots D line will destroy the Giants O line and make Eli look like Peyton. The chances the Pats lose to the Giants twice in the same year are slim. Your overconfidence is your weakness. NY Giants players and fans have diarrhea of the mouth and you don’t know when to shut up. The Pats WILL win on Sunday and cement their legacy as one of the greatest teams of all time. Keep talking a**holes

——————————————–

The 2007 Patriots defense was 10 times better then this defense. Pats didn’t get to Eli but once in week 9 and that was with Andrea Carter.

If the Giants front four make Brady look like a system quarterback the way the Ravens did, and Tom doesn’t have 8 seconds in the pocket to stand flat footed and pick the Giants secondary apart behind the best offensive line ever, it won’t matter if Gronkowski plays or not.”

I saw the Ravens D. The Giants D is no Ravens D.
Pats win big.

No on knows. This is an injury that if he can play through pain he will probably be at about 70%.

Both teams are going to have a game plan that accounts for him if plays or doesn’t. Do people really think the Pats don’t have an alternate game plan if he can’t go or is not effective? Same with the Giants coaching staff. They have probably developed two game plans or can tweak their plan based on how he is playing.

Both of theses teams are going to be well prepared and ready for anything.

The thing that is cracking me up is how some people think Ochosinco is going to have huge impact on the game. He is an old WR that doesn’t even understand the offense.

Its all about Brady and Manning. everyone else is secondary and can be made up for.

In 2010 Dwight Freeney went into the game with an ankle injury and looked pretty good in the first half, but disappeared in the 2nd half.

nesportsfan,
he’s a 22 year old”kid” playing on the biggest stage of his life and his every movement is being watched and documented, as a Pats fan give him a break ! Remember draft day when he was picked and he came on stage with his Pats helmet?

this just seems awful strange for a pats player to talk this much about an injury.

Maybe, but he can’t be as dumb as Brett Keisel.

At full strength, I liked their chances. With Gronk playing on one leg, I give them no chance of winning.

How effective he can be is anyways guess.

Just have Doctor walk up to him on Saurday and go “Hey Rob, great news! We took some X-Rays, and you’re all healed!” and I bet he’d play great on Sunday.
