Pats’ Gronkowski earns strong praise from Belichick
With a big game this past week against the Buffalo Bills, the VAVEL USA National Football League writers have voted the New England Patriots quarterback to be the Offensive Player of week two. Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant, New York Giants wideout Odell Beckham Jr., Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski and Australian rugby player turned San Francisco 49ers running back Jarryd Hayne round out the top five. Tom Brady carved up a tremendous Buffalo Bills defense last week with three touchdowns and 466 yards passing. When the Patriots got the ball back again with 2:16 left and no timeouts, that’s when Brady entered the game. It’s also easy for a team to get up for a game when it has been declared a “hated” rival by the opposing coach and the enemy is treating it like a title bout, like it was against the Bills. “He’s been in a lot of different roles for us but I can honestly say I’ve never seen him do anything but try his very best at those roles, whatever it happened to be”. “It’s great to be 2-0”. In the season opener against the Steelers, Lewis’ fumble was recovered by the Patriots so it did not seem to be too big of a problem.
“It’s on my shoulders”, Ryan explained. “And I think once we get everybody to trust each other, it’ll be much easier”.
Ryan then used a profanity in explaining how poor of a job he did. Taylor (chest), who was a full practice participant, landed on the Bills injury report. The team announced Williams was released from the hospital after undergoing a series of tests. During this outing, he put up 25 of 32 passes for 288 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions with a almost flawless QBR.
Until they absolutely needed it, the Bills hardly passed. But they shouldn’t. The Patriots welcomed LeGarrette Blount back into the mix this week and it was Lewis who still took the majority of the work.
Tom Brady looks to gain his 400th career touchdown, and his 3rd win of the season in their upcoming game against the Jaguars. Ryan still needs to quit down and let his players play rather than given opposing teams something to talk about.
“She (the teacher) thought that was punishment … but I loved it.” Lastly, Stephen Gostkowski was good on all four field goal attempts. Bortles led the Jaguars to 396 yards against the Dolphins. Gronkowski beat Bears linebacker Shea McClellin for a touchdown on a fade pattern in Week 8.
The signing of head coach Rex Ryan is nothing but good news for the Bills.
“I’m embarrassed”, defensive tackle Kyle Williams said. “Somebody’s got to block, somebody’s got to throw, somebody’s got to catch”. “It’s inexcusable”. He has also rushed 14 times for 84 yards with a score.
In 24 out of their past 27 meetings, Brady has manhandled the Bills, regardless of crowd noise. They were close to breaking the Kansas City Chiefs Guinness World Record for crowd noise at an outdoor stadium on Sunday afternoon, but ultimately those efforts were not enough. The results were not revealed and fans began heading for the exits in the final minute of the third quarter. Watkins said it’s up to the receivers to convince him to give them a chance.
And on Sunday, they will play a real game against the guy who was reaching the sport’s pinnacle at pretty much the same time they were making teachers cry, winning eight-and-under-basketball leagues and getting a first “kisser”. I for one am looking forward to the months-long, multimillion-dollar “independent” investigation into their shenanigans, not to mention the suspensions, fines and loss of draft picks.
