not a bad call on a jump ball hail mary. On multiple laterals you could see that horrible angle he took.

Problem was they didn’t take Miami’s final play seriously enough. And it cost the Patriots the game.

They had bigger problems than Gronk on that play.

The idea is to have people in who are used to handling passes. But Gronks not the guy. Strange choice.

Gronk looked a lot like Herman Munster trying to make a tackle

I thought the same but he shouldn't have been put in the position to make that play. He probably hasn't had to make an open field tackle since high school.

A rare (but most welcome) strategic mistake by Bellicheck.

Agreed, incomprehensible call by Belichek or whichever one of the coaches was responsible for putting in that line up.
