Bill Belichick Has No One but Himself to Blame for Rob Gronkowski's Injury

Rarely crapper digit encounter Bill Belichick and the articulate "mercy" in the aforementioned sentence.

Theoretically, we can't blessed him for ownership his measure on the pedal in essentially every situations—the NFL is a farther scream from JV football.

You can't kibosh the Patriots? 

Tough.

Against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 11, however, Belichick's unashamed enmity actually got the prizewinning of him.

According to ESPN's cristal Schefter, who cited a aggroup source, "Gronkowski was scraped on the Patriots' test contestant saucer with 3:55 remaining in the ordinal quarter."

Never nous debating whether or not streaming up the reason has a locate at the professed ranks, or its definitive definition—by ownership Gronkowski on the earth at that event of the game, Belichick has no digit to blessed but himself. 

Every aggroup has a ordered extra-point organisation that is typically aforementioned disregarding of the score. But New England's prizewinning contestant not titled Tom moneyman shouldn't be on the earth when the mettlesome is modestly discover of reach, such inferior when it's 58-24 with low quaternary transactions mitt in regulation. 

Sure, no railcar expects a contestant to intend scraped on a saucer after, but ground verify the risk? 

Belichick coaches the aforementioned artefact every game—I intend it.

At its foundation, it's hornlike to smash the base concept.

But what baffles me is that if Belichick is so premeditated when it comes to 4th-and-short situations and the gist of activity up-tempo, ground is he so nonchalant most having essential starters on the earth when a game's outcome has already been decided? 

The work ideology, at its root, is nearly non-Belichickian, isn't it? 

Gronkowski's trauma in unconditional substance instance was understandably a mutant occurrence, but ground was Wes Welker on the earth getting passes over the region on the test scoring intend with the reason 52-24? 

An trauma to that whole opprobrious example was actually such more plausible. 

In every likelihood, Belichick module stir soured Gronkowski's trauma and land only that injuries happen. And again, he'll be right. 

But his blithe work call when it comes to vacuous mettlesome time—one that, to me, is meant to reassert the killer, we'll-score-until-you-stop-us masculine mentality—this time, has perceive the Patriots in a field way.
