Week 13 GDT: Pats visit Buffalo

[ChazStandard]

A win is a win, but the spectre of Gronk suspension taints it slightly. Dumb move by him.

The hit to Brady's stats bugs me more than it should.

He probably won't catch Kelly.

I think I was far more forgiving of the Gronk hit because that interception is going to hurt him in the MVP race. This whole game really is, but that was the cherry on top. That said, in the grand scheme of things we should be getting Hogan and Mitchell back soon, we are playing the fish. Let Gronk rest and heal up for a big game vs the Steelers.

Gronk should be suspended at least a game. Understandable to be frustrated, pretty obvious interference I thought, but you can't do that. As dirty as they come really, and pretty disappointing.

Gronk came to play

Overall we had a good game. I understand why Gronk was upset, but that kind of play was unprofessional. It was a good game though.

Good win but eugh that Gronk penalty.  Not surprised if he gets suspended 1-2 games.

 

Love our run game and White getting back into the Screen game

Think Gronk's last incident (throwing Sergio Brown out of the club) will affect how punishment is levied?

I'd be shocked if it wasnt taken into account.

1 game suspension. Pretty obvious. 0 chance its more.

Don't think the Sergio Brown thing was too big a deal imo so, hopefully it doesn't factor into punishment decision.

The hot takes about a 4+ games or whole season long suspensions are laughable. Don't get me wrong, what Gronk did was reprehensible and he deserves a game or two. But I wonder, were those people who think it should be more so concerned about player safety too, when Gronk's knee was taken out by TJ Ward? I guess no, because it was during a live play, but the results could have been (and for a while looked like they are) career-ending.

IIRC he got fined for that. I imagine anything where a punishment was handed out for a similiar infraction would be taken into account. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but the league typically observes the multiple infraction strategy when it comes to punishment levels.

Unfortunately, Gronk being a huge public figure means the league can't take it easy on him.  And handing out concussions is no joke either.  I'd say 1-2 games is fair; general public will probably call for more since everyone is aware of, and zoned in on CTE.
