Because ESPN can't let it go...

They conveniently ignore the fact that Gronk would have had to teleport through Robert Lester to make the catch. 

Well, what do you expect. It was their own people who started this load of ISH.

 

Did their Sport Science examine that call that went against the Panthers during the 59 second play that gave Brady a fresh first  down? I am sure it didn't. They are going to do everything they can to act like this win isn't relevant because they didn't get another Brady Heriocs. Typical spoiled brats who act like they are intitled.

they failed to calculate how long it would take for him to jump forward after stopping his momentum from going the opposite direction... that really bothered me. they had all these instances of time and how it took him this long to come to a stop, but they completely ignored how long it would take for him to stop on a dime and then dive forward

Gronk had as much a chance to catch that as I do of banging Stacy Keibler. In theory, perhaps it is possible. In reality no fugging way

God I love Stacy Keibler....panthers fan mentions Stacy Keibler who is not a household name by anymeans unless this recently unfolded.....I since a bromance in the making lol

I seriously thought I was the only one who realized this. Seriously, after the past 48 hours, people don't shut up about it and just automatically assume that Gronk makes this super easy catch and TD if Keek didnt "tackle" him to the ground. No one realizes that had Gronk stopped running (even that wouldn't have fully happened easily), he still has to plant his feet, come back toward the ball, and somehow magically get through Keek (who would still be standing DIRECTLY in front of him), and then clothesline Lester (or somehow completely stop him from jumping the route). Literally impossible and theres 0 chance he catches that ball

    • Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

    • The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
