Gronk may not play week 1

[daneblazer]

Rob Gronkowski (hamstring) doesn't know if he'll be active for Sunday evening's opener, and says it will come down to a "coaching decision."

"Yeah, it boils to a coaching decision, the medical team, and myself," Gronk said. "We'll all get together and collaborate and see where I'm at." The fact that Gronk emphasized "coaching decision" would seem to suggest he thinks he's healthy enough to play. Gronk has said he's not 100 percent, but "feeling good." Unfortunately, it looks like we're headed for a game-time decision for the evening opener, making Gronk an extremely risky play in DFS leagues.

They had no shot anyway

It's a smokescreen, Gronk will play.

[pavyracer]

What's the deal with Tom Brady? Did he travel with the team or is he banned from stadium during his suspension?

[actiondan]

I've got Bennett on my bench, a must for Gronk owners

Bennett will be good regardless, he is the new Aaron Hernandez (on the field!) with the Pats going back to using more two-tight end sets.

Pats should have never give him the contact he got.
He's already burning out, has been... on his way down.
It was stupid, they did it for the fans.

Agreed.

I have him as questionable everywhere, which pretty much means he's playing.

[jjgold]

Why is Zona not 10 points?

[cankid]

sounds like might not play

Shocked if Pats hang in this game....with or without Gronk and with or without Brady for that matter

[jjgold]

That's what I think

No idea what I am missing

OK, it was NOT a smokescreen.

Gronk is now OUT.

[KVB]

OK, it was NOT a smokescreen.

Gronk is now OUT.

I saw it go to doubtful, but there was an error on the date, now we see OUT and expected to miss.

Fitzgerald listed as probable for Zona with a knee issue.

OK, it was NOT a smokescreen.

Gronk is now OUT.

last time NE was +7 ? I'd guess 08 w Cassel ?

[PorkChop]

Im hoping for a New England 7-0 quick lead, grab that Cardinals ML and hammer,


Don't like the 6, comfortable with anything under -2.5

[POOLSIDE]

last time NE was +7 ? I'd guess 08 w Cassel ?

When they still won eleven games

[Hu$tle]

He must have gotten reinjured in practice or preseason

better to sit now rather than severely injure it tho

[MoneyLineDawg]

Cards by 3 touchdowns

Last game of 2009 they were +7.5 at Hou with nothing at stake and Hou fighting for the playoffs. They were +6.5 at Ind with Cassel at QB in '08.

Arizona by 30 points
