Bro Gronk pretty much played all last season. The last game of the season if i remember right they sat out some of the starters just to get some rest.

Taking it easy the last week of the season , plus the first week bye will be so crucial to how we do in the post season , you can scheme up some protection for the most part to mask the offensive line problems so that extra would be clutch for us going into the playoffs .

For sure. Hopefully this team can take care of business though.

Yessir 
Keep Gronk out until the Jets game. Edelman out until at least week 17, if you want to give him some game speed reps before January. If not, no biggie IMO.

very important and I'm rooting for the steelers this weekHow important is the 1st round bye for this team? Haven't the Patriots only won the Super Bowl when having that luxury

Health is the only thing that is stopping this team to play in Santa Clara in Feb. I know gronk is out this week already, and there's no point rushing edelman unless they really trying for that first round bye. Division is a wrap, could easily go 4-0 to close the season and still have an inside track for the top seed with DEN, CIN playing each other and playing PITT.

Gronk acting as a decoy tonight or

I have a sneaking suspicion yea . I doubt he's gonna be reintroduced at full speed already but I could see Josh using him as a dummy to open up space for the other receivers/Chandler. Who would've thought that he'd be back before Dont'a when they both got hurt in the same game and it looked like Gronk was done for the year

he better be a ******* decoy. i woke up to "Gronk's Byke" texts...i was livid
sit his *** down. with our luck, someone will roll him up even if he's just standing on the sideline

if gronk is playing i hope he is not just a decoy cause obviously one can be injured either way
therefore if he plays, i'd like to see him play for real

vrabes
one of the underrated pats.
at william sending him to KC with cassel. he was still serviceable for couple years. ninkovich reminds me lotta of vrabes minus catching TDs
they have uncanny ability of making plays when needed.
I feel so much better with gronk playing with braces (from what i've seen, he's wearing 'em in practices). stupid of him to even take it off the braces in first place. i know it's a comfort thing but really do you want to take risk. he's always taking shots in knees from EVERYONE, most of it unintentional, i know but he's so tall and big and it's pretty much the only way to sure tackle him if theres one. when the defenders go low, it's perfectly targeted onto his knees.
I SWEAR i always brace and fear the worst when gronk gets tackled down low. EVERY TIME. It doesn't help that gronk's body language and facial expressions makes him look like he's injured every time he gets up from the tackle
grimacing and ****. that slight arm failing when he hits the ground. notice that? lol.

The guy who dropped the punt (name slipping me right now) ....he still needs work but I kinda hope he sticks around and we develop him
