Gopher Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 That was crazy. Why in god's name would you have Gronk playing defense on that? I guess the thought process is to defend the hail mary. But he's SLOWWWW. Watching him try to make that tackle was like watching a freight train chase a ferrari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only the old two lateral, lateral play but still just as fun to watch unfold. As for the Pats, better for it to happen now than in the playoffs.

Bad angle, and he's simply not somebody that's going to chase down anybody with halfway decent speed. Gronk may have decent straight-line speed (or at least he maybe once did?), but he's not exactly quick. IIf there is one word that describes his running style, it's "lumbering." The Pats pretty much assumed a hail mary was on tap, and that assumption burned them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Gronk was in there only because the genius himself, Billy B was expecting a hail Mary. Gronks only job was to smash it to the surface, that's it. Unfortunately he's slow as molasses and dumb as a rock. You can't expect him to think on the fly.

Jackass Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Is it Belichick or is it more on the ST coach? I mean play was from 30 yard line a high school coach could have figured out that makes no sense to have Gronk out there. Just a massive blunder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I was at the bar and the Redzone was on as well as the Browns game. This happened at the same time as the INT to seal the Browns win. I was watching the lateral. I looked around to see if anyone saw it and nope, they all missed it live. But not the 1,000,000 replays of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplemonster Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Actually more than a few dogged it I would imagine but I couldn't see a full view.

I mean play was from 30 yard line a high school coach could have figured out that makes no sense to have Gronk out there. Just a massive blunder. Game/clock management was just poor all-around for the Patriots yesterday. They missed a chance at a FG to end the first half by taking a sack with no timeouts (while inside the 10 yard line). Then, they had a chance to essentially seal the game, and make it a two-score game, right before the miracle happened. Instead, they ran it three times and kicked a FG. I get the thinking (they wanted to use up as much clock as possible), but punching it in there would have made everything else a moot point. And those three points to end the half might have helped as well. I put most of that on BB, although the last play was certainly a ST blunder as well.

Def. Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Just hoping this crap fluke play doesn't cause another year of Tannehill, Gase, and whoever the (the really bad word) the GM is. Blow it up already you pretenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
