I guess we can officially close the thread.
Gronk - 25 Receptions, 540 yards. He officially missed three games, and was a non-factor in two others, because he suited up but didn’t show up.
Witten - 52 receptions, 553 yards. Still has five games left to play.
I DECLARE VICTORY OVER BLACK SWAN!!!
Ah geez
Owwwwned. Stick a fork in the Patsies
Consider it done! Along with Gronk’s season!
^I lied. Because everywhere I turn, every ESPN show I listen to, every halftime show I watch–they’re all talking about Gronk. So I’m going to gloat in my victory over all the haters.
Bill Polian, General Manager of the Bills (who went to four straight Super Bowls) and General Manager of the 11998-2011 Colts, current NFL analyst for ESPN - He refused to draft Gronk because of his injuries. He says, “The best ability is availability.”
I, for one, would still like weekly updates.
^Well, Jason Witten caught zero passes for zero yards–and was still more productive this game than Gronk will be for the rest of the season.
^ He did have one kick return of zero yards!
Is that really true though? Because that mean’s you basically have an empty jersey on the field not producing. At least someone will be filling in for Gronk.
Witten kind of made history last night. His streak of 130 games with at least one catch was broken. Quite a streak.
Maybe if he’d drafted top talent he would have won one of those four straight super bowls. Keep in mind the guy that DID draft him is tied with the most super bowl appearances and wins in history… and the has most of any active coach.
How many times has this been said in history? Lol when will people learn.
Right before they blew the final whistle in Super Bowls XLII and XLVI.
Well, he did face the NFC East in all 4.
Sort of a non-point referencing the two losses out of six appearances.
Not when a Giants fan is talking to a Pats fan.
I saw a story yesterday that suggested that the Pats might cut Gronk in the offseason. Can’t remember where I read it.
If they do, I will be interested to see how well he does outside of New England. It’s quite possible (as FT pointed out in another thread) that he’s good, but not great. He’s just part of the New England Machine that turns average players into good ones, and good ones into great ones.
Interesting that Martellus Bennett, who wasn’t fit to lick the illustrious Jason Witten’s shoes, is having a great year in New England.
I was in NYC at a bar watching Eagles / Giants 2010. Anytime I’m around Giants fans I can’t help but remembering that game and laughing. I remember drunk people walking down the streets screaming “KICK IT OUT OF BOUNDS!” for the next hour. LOL. The last runback was probably one of the best moments of sports history from the initial fumble to the run across the endzone.
