Jetfan13 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Gronkowski not expected to play against Jets Nov 23 11/23/2016 9:47:54 AM New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is not expected to play this Sunday against the New York Jets according to Dianna Russini of ESPN. Gronk suffered a perforated lung in Week 10 and did not travel with the team last week when they flew to the West Coast to take on the the San Francisco 49ers. According to Russini, the Patriots are "prepping the offense without him." Matellus Bennett, who was underwhelming in a prime spot without Gronk in the field against ther 49ers and caught only two passes for 14 yards, will once again be asked to carry the load against the Jets.

King P Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Martellus Bennett will go HAM on us instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachEY Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 We win this game, draft a DB, and resign Fitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB in the 1st (I actually wont complain if it's Teez Tabor, he's that good)...but definitely another project QB in the 4th. We carry 4 QBs with Fitz as the starter. However, I predict we break our 2nd bad luck and find a nice LT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 given all the bs surrounding this team for this season, it's hard to gage how they will play. they can beat the patsies. they have played tough in all the games except buttfumble and they have an offense that should be able to exploit the patsie defense. and when the patsies have the ball, if the dline finally starts playing, it could get interesting for tommy boy. brady is not immune to pressure and getting knocked around. and even though bennett is playing well, not having gronk has got to change the way he plays a bit.

Matthew007b Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 You know...crazy things have happened. Gronk totally burned the Jets last time.. with him out maybe the team will show up *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hael Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 That's a huge loss for them, as it's much more than just the loss of a superstar but changes how their entire offense is run. It makes this a much closer grindy matchup. The 2 TE offense would have been almost impossible to deal with for our unit, whereas now we can actually bring in extra dbs to cover Bennet without fear of having Blount running through us. Its now all about how we deal with the shifty WRs and their 3rd down rbs, which is hard but not impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See: selling "hope". I dont think the Jets are that far away. This is the league of worst to first and first to worst in a heartbeat. If the Jets are able to shed some of the overpaid dead weight, bring in some key FAs, get some luck with their young player development (Lee, Petty, Hack, Jenkins, Burris) and continue bringing in talent via the draft, they will definitely be competitive next year. Maybe not legitimate SB contenders, but certainly playoff contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetster Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 This game will be a lot closer than people think. Brandon Marshall owns The Tiny Butler, Collins use to make plays all the time vs us, Branch is suspended so they should be able to run, Ninkovich is a shell of himself. Jets will move the ball on the Pats, Forte (the old man) with 2 weeks rest will have a game like he had vs Buffalo in week 2. Enunwa, Anderson, Smith will get open easily & Fitz plays well without a pass rush in his face. Jets will score points, two most important stats...Jets redzone success....Jets defense on 3rd Down, very simple. Oh, and since we have no chance of the playoffs, Leo pile driving Brady into the turf would also be an acceptable outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
