Does anybody else think that Gronk might be not as bad as they are portraying? A clever scheme of distraction by Belichick and crew? I may be way off, that thought just entered my mind when I woke up this morning! Take it for what it's worth... Lol

Regardless the Giants are preparing what they will do if he plays, if he plays in a limited role, or if he doesn't play at all.  The Giants are aware of how important this guys is to the Pats offense.  In my opinion his injury is legit and he will play in a limited role.  Take that for what it is worth.

Yeah, I agree guys. The Giants must prepare themselves for a healthy Gronk. I really do think he plays s HUGE role in the offense away from the ball as well

They will test him in every way possible if he plays. 

They will jump, pounce, tear and pull at him to see at what percentage he's playing.  It won't take the GIants long to figure where he's at when he's playing.

He's fine....the Patriots are just using it to keep the media spotlight on him instead of other players. Parcells was famous for doing stunts before the Superbowl to put the media attention on the stunt.....remember when an assistant coach went missing?

Go read a fellow Covers poster's analysis who just so happens to be a Doctor, Crashdavis, He has beeen here some time and I really believe his input.

Either way, G-MEN are going to go after Gronk IMMEDIATELY as they know HOW IMPORTANT he is to NE's offensive SUCCESS. I view this a BIG POSITIVE for G-Men AND a MAJOR  NEGATIVE for Pats.  Think about it, take out a major INJURED spoke in the wheel plus his run blocking in PATS "O", missed last weeks practices,  NY sacks galore.....Tommy's uncomfortable prime EXCUSE when Pats lose

Just sayin.............

The 'arguement' could go both ways. However, I don't really see any benefit in doing either or (exaggerating, hiding the true extent) as the Giant's will prepare for all possibilities and as somebody already also said, the Giants will be testing Gronk soon as he steps on the field.

Yes everybody does heal differently and at different paces, but I'm confident in saying one thing is for sure; he will not be 100%.

Yeah he won't be 100%, and yeah they'll try to reinjure him, because if they can do that they'll probably win.

Will it work, don't know, not easy to reinjure a monster sized man like Gronkowski.

They're not portraying anything.  We saw him get injured in the Balt game so it's not fabricated.  They're really not letting on at all about how bad it is, thus all the speculation.  And they're not going to, better to keep em guessing either way.

When Big Ben hurt his ankle he was walking around like Frankenstien for a month. Gronk isn't even limping.This guy is playing and he will play well.

INDIANAPOLIS - National Football League (NFL) commissioner Roger Goodell is optimistic an agreement will be reached with the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) to begin testing players for use of human growth hormone this off-season, he said on Friday.

Ok. This is my first post but have followed this site for about 3 years. Here are three items  about Gronk.  First off, I live in Buffalo where he is from.  2 days after the Championship game,  his dad came out to the local press here and said that Rob will be playing in the Super Bowl.  This is totally against what New England believes in as far as the media and press.  He will be so shot up with pain killers or whatever,  it won't matter. Secondly,  does everyone remember the performance that T.O out  against the Pats in that Supebowl ?  His ankle was terrible and I  think he still had 10 for 140 or so in losing effort !   Finally , think back to the problems that the Giants had with Vernon Davis and a bad QB.  Now the Giants have to deal with a top notch QB and 2 Stud TE's. I am not a Pats fan at all and would prefer the Giants to win, I am just giving some facts on one facet of the game.  GL.
