On sports radio they said that he was out… So I did a search and this is what I found didn't even make the trip.
Seen the same thing so I went over to the Pats board and did some readin'.

Some players have not made the plane trip in the past and still made it to the game and played. For the Cards I'd still prepare for Gronk and review tape when he was out and what they ran. On the other hand there's fingers over there as well.

he has a hamstring injury, it's possible they want to fly him on their private jet so he's able to stretch it out on the flight. who knows. BB isn't the type to let something spill, guess we'll find out at game time.

Hopefully Bettcher has a game plan for with and without Gronk and has had the players practice for both situations

I thought so at first too then was thinking that Gronk has been injured so he's missed reps. We can game plan for Gronk them make adjustments if he doesn't as long as we stop the run and make that pretty boy stammer.

The only news I'm seeing is that he didn't fly with the team. It's very possible that he flies out after getting more treatment on his hamstring & this is Billicheat/Boston media playing mindgames.

They have no pretty boys, the Pats have football players and their records show that... we need to play hard and be the Cards we know and love of late and we will win :)

Just saw this on the pats forum

"Close to changing my pick to the Cardinals but, I still want to believe. Arizona's d is good but I don't think they are elite are they? Don't think Arizona is really a hostile environment, their crowd doesn't really stick out to me one way or another."


Ha yah, bud. It's pretty hostile.

Guys... Patriots are conceding this game.... Gronk is injured but probably could play but why risk it??? Meaning Belichik isn't stupid.... He knows odds are slim they win at Arizona where we have beaten Seattle Minnesota Green bay twice and have won like 14 of 17....it could have been a loss to them fully loaded... No need to get Gronk hurt and have Brady missing 3 more games.... Arizona wins this going away.... But we won't get much credit for it... And they won't lose anything either...

seems like conceding to me and don't blame them. they'll see us in Feb... why give anything away in the game they don't have to... namely let us figure out how to play Gronk.

we should win this game going away.

This. 1st week and the Pats are used to coming back at the end. Why risk more injury to Gronk at this point in the season?

BTW, thanks Linderbee for making me look good 17 minutes before I posted. :D
