It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I took one day for everyone to turn back on the guy who really shouldnt have played the 2nd half on sunday. He is injured.Was injured before the game. ***** happens. Dont know how it is his fault.
I honestly don't think you guys are giving enough credit to the Jets.
Yes, recently, they've been bad, especially on offense but they still have a more than capable defense, especially with our "current situation".
Edelman was good, but he can't do it alone.
We don't even know if Dobson is playing yet.
Hopefully Ridley can get it together because the Jets shut Martin down last week.
This won't be easy.
No game is a layup, but I would rather rest Amendola for the next two games than have it being a lingering thing for the entire season or in games where the Pats will need to get into a shootout.
The Jets are not a team that is going to put 30 points on you. They could win this game, but it is likely that if they win it will be that both teams are going to score in the teens or low 20s at most. They are missing arguably their best receiver in Kerley too.
Losing Amendola against a team with a mediocre offense is a lot easier to overcome than say the Falcons or Saints who have the ability to put 40 points on you.
He wants to shed this injury-prone label, he's got to find a way to play through pain. Sounds like he may not play the next two games.
I may be in the minority but I believe that when healthy Amendola is better than Welker. It just sucks that he gets hurt so often.
im not throwing Amendola under the bus for missing one game but that's what separates good from great, Andre Johnson over 11000 yards in he's career but if he did not miss almost 2 seasons worth of games in he's career he would be in the top 5 all time,
Danny amendola maybe younger faster and can make the high wire type catches that welker cant but he will never replace welker
Huh?!? He proved Sunday that he can play through pain. Not one person questions his toughness. At least no one who actually knows what they are talking about. The questions are whether he can stay healthy.
If it was just a pain management issue, he would be playing Sunday. I have no doubt about it. The concern has to be about any structural damage that might be caused or already caused by the injury and not resting it.
Yep, although with these types of injuries it seems like they seem to linger regardless of time off. I do agree though, rest him and hope for others to step up.
I'm glad you settled that for us after one game.
I think that question has been answered... particularly if he misses more games after Thursday. I just hope the rookies are up to the task because, if they're not, we're going to be looked at the most inept offense we've seen since 2006.
He wants to shed this injury-prone label, he's got to find a way to play through pain.
We had plenty here insisting Amendola was better than Welker before he'd even played a down for the Patriots, and then a whole lot of apparent Alzheimer's victims here insisting that Welker couldn't make the kind of catches that Amendola made on Sunday, despite the fact that Welker's been making them for 6 years.
Unfortunately, the "when healthy" part is the caveat. Welker, on the other hand....
