I'm surprised I didn't see a thread on this already, so if I missed it please feel free to merge.
What are your overall thoughts on Amendola's hit on Jamell Fleming on the punt return? It looked brutal when I saw it live at a restaurant, but on replay it seems pretty clear that he led with his shoulder and didn't really make any helmet to helmet contact. Just a very hard hit that Fleming didn't see coming at all.
In the immediate aftermath on Twitter and even now in online articles, there are lots of people calling for him to be suspended, lots of comparisons to the Burfict hit on Brown last week. PFT posted that he very easily could have been ejected. After the game, Amendola said it was a clean hit and that he would appeal if he was fined.
Being the Pats, it wouldn't shock me at all for the NFL to try to suspend him. Do you expect that he'll hear from the league office?
