Yup. Gronk didn't get going until that blatant push off in the second half.

Probably never would have got going if our offense could have given Jones a break.

Gronk was used as a decoy for most of the game while Brady was shredding us throwing to whoever he wanted to.

Haven't watched the film, but up to the point I was talking about, I think the pats had only 13 points over a half, against a team that had no offense to keep them off the field.

Just admit Gronk was shut down, Mr pope of the temple of Gronk. OR do you now worship at the temple of Brady?

I just wanted to come here to say that it's pretty frustrating that the refs allowed two, 2-handed push offs on both of Gronk's big plays. Literally took both hands and shoved Jones off of him both times. Jones played him well all game, even with all the constant pick/rub plays.

Jones did better than most gave him credit for.

I thought so too.

That kid is gonna be special and hopefully sits our current FS..........soon.

Good God, Wilcox sucks. Is it the scheme? I don't get that dude.

He and Church are the better part of three stooges.

I have no issue with how Jones played against Gronk. He played him pretty dang well. He did a good job.

Jones will be starting S next season. Wilcox is physically talented enough to start in the league. I'm not sure Church starts anywhere. Most teams would have him as a backup or package player only. The league is now all about isolation and making plays in space. Wilcox physically can do it but runs himself out of the play. Church simply doesn't have the athleticism to survive.

Gronk was not shut down. 60 yards out of a TE is shut down? Brady could throw to whoever he wanted to in that game.
