Very Un-"Gronk" like behavior. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get suspended, heavily fined, or both. Side note, did you see Tom Brady get into with OC Josh McDaniel on the sidelines??? Wonder that that was about? Brady, Belichik and McDaniel all had no comment afterwards.
If Goodell has anything to do with it, it will probably be both. :glare:

I did see that exchange and was wondering the same thing. Chuckled a little when Josh McDaniel seemed to just turn around and ignore him, though. :D

I always find it interesting that the Pats have just about the best "Company Line" in football. No one talks very much at all about off the field occurrences. I think that's a good policy as far as internal affairs go..lol

Was happy to see the Pats win but really disappointed with that dirty hit Gronk did to White. Totally unnecessary. I was really surprised he wasn't ejected for that even with all the other fouls committed during that play.

Yes, Gronk’s late hit was not cool. Should get a game suspension.

He has a point about the non-calls when defenders are hanging all over him and the BS offensive pass interference calls he gets saddled with but late hits are not the appropriate response. The appropriate response is to keep scoring TDs and make defenders look silly.

Yes, they do. More teams should adopt that policy.

Brady barks at everyone all the time. Always has since his first full season as a starter. If he were less talented it would not be tolerated. Double standard? Yes. But star players are always treated differently. Not that I agree with that but it’s always been that way.

Yep, definitely true but unfortunately my fiancee saw it also so all I've heard about Brady the last 24 hours is how much of a whiner he is...lol. Damn Steelers fans....lol

Somewhere over the rainbow
Patriots beat Buffalo and now we're 10 and 2,
And, although the Bills did everything that they could do,
By the 2nd half New England had them in a hole.
Sadly though, 2 players for my Pats lost their control.

I think Josh McDaniels said, "Oh Tom... You missed that pass."
Then I think that Tom responded, "Hey Josh... Kiss my a$$...

"Pointing out the opportunity that I let slip?
"Gee! I hadn't noticed that but thank you for the tip."

As for Gronk's unsportsmanlike behavior... That was bad.
No matter how many holding flags he should have had,
Gronk deserves to be suspended. I know how that sounds,
But there's no excuse for hitting someone out of bounds.

:eek:
