Rob Gronkowski to have back surgery
 

Tomorrow per Ian Rapoport. Can't embed. Big blow to NE.

#Patriots* TE Rob Gronkowski thought he would return quickly. Instead, out several weeks. Team has already used its IR/designated to return - @Rapsheet

Now if we can just get Bernard Pollard and Tommy Boy on the same field at the same time....

Ruh roh.


So Bart Scott brought this up recently, but does anyone else see the Pats moving on from Gronk? I mean, dude seems to be a walking mash unit lately.

Yeah, I just saw a tweet that is reporting he's ruptured a disk in his back.

Superbowl time!

This is his 3rd disc surgery, right?

Huge break for Denver, we might run da table now

a) BB's trade for Marty B looks even better now

b) This may open up the race in the AFC quite a bit

That is a huge blow to the Pats. That offense is not the same without him. We have a real shot at homefield advantage. Just need to win this week and sweep the division.

Causes of Eric Berry's PTSD:

1) Horses

1a) Gronk

Watch Tom Brady and Martellus Bennett start building something special.

Brady's stats are going to plummet. Their defense is only decent... Which means Chiefs vs Raiders for the top seed.

Pats likely lose 3 of next 5

Damn the Jets for not winning last week!

How in the world will you do that, you still have to come to Arrowhead.

ROFL

This is the Patriots. They'll still be competitive every week. They went 3-1 without Brady. It certainly cracks open a window for the AFC though.
