Rob Gronkowski breaks forearm on final extra point FG as Pats run up the score

[Requiem]

This is what the Patriots do. They are a classless franchise.

On an extra point? Hilarious. Now the third string TE is gigged up because he'll get to see the field on extra points.

Visanthe Shiancoe should be a good fantasy pickup about now.

He's always been a part of the field goal and PAT team. Regardless whether it was 60-0 or 3-0 he's got to be there, he's part of the special team. There are only 53 players on the active roster, if you took him out who do you plug in?
I hate to be the devil's advocate, especially when I hate NE so much, but it seems to me that that was G's job to be in there regrdless the score...

Now, if you told me why is this guy even a member of the spcial team, then I would agree with you, he's got no place on ST, IMO...

Damn bye bye fantasy season but who cares this helps our real broncos.

One of the other 15 TE's they signed this offseason would be a good place to start looking.

If they werent running up the score though they don't kick an extra point cause no TD. Brady, Welker, Gronk and co all in on the drive to go 59-24 up with 4 mins left. I mean, for ****s sake.

Hate to see an injury to anyone. But, it was bound to happen sooner or later. They run up scores every chance they get...

McGahees injury is karma for saying this is karma, hopefully Peyton gets hit in the neck next.

I hope you do realize all 31 teams are saying the same thing about the Gronk injury.

Would I get banned for saying I hope this guy drowns in a dumpster?

Because if so, I absolutely won't say that.

Would I get banned for talking about his family?

Because I heard his mommy and daddy were both _______________.

It's bizarre to me that with a 28-point lead and 7:37 left in the fourth quarter Tom Brady was in the game -- and throwing twice -- to stretch the lead to 35. With a 31-point lead midway through the fourth quarter against the Rams in Week 8, backup Ryan Mallett entered the game. Good for him, and good for the Patriots long-term, to get the raw backup some playing time. So you'd think, then, that I'd view Gronkowski's injury in that same critical light. I don't.

I agree.

Manning sounded like a coach often in the miking, gathering his offensive mates at one point and barking: "Let's address this now, so we don't do it at the end of the game and say, 'This is what went wrong.' We've made mental errors on every single play. I don't have to review 'em, right? There's not one thing they've done to stop us, right? Do our jobs better, and we'll execute. All right? Let's go. Hone in."

Wow, who knew this guy was still playing. He must really need the money.
