I agree with this. I would like to add that he didn't use his body to shield the defender from the ball, which guys sometimes do by twisting away in order to get a better handle on the pigskin.It was not an easy catch, it was a play that could have been made and if it was it would have been a great play like the Hooman TD catch was a great play, but him not making the play doesn’t make him a choker it was a 50/50 ball in any situation. Danny had a reception on 10/14 targets for 131 receiving yards today, his play put us in the situation that allowed us a chance to win in my opinion Danny Amendola played his best game in a Patriots uniform today and came up big for us. I wish he made that catch but his not making it should not take from a very impressive game by him. That is coming from me one of the most anti-Amendola people on this board
I bet Amendola, as a great competitor, feels awful he wasn't able to come up with the game-winning play. Got to give the defender kudos for being aggressive. Tough catch, but makeable.
It's a game of inches.
