Thru week 6 Amendola has only proven his critics correct…

[DaBruinz]

Can he slide?

Not when he's being held up by another defender..

 

[jb1095]

Not when he's being held up by a defender. But, far be it from you to admit that..

he was NOT being HELD UP by a defender man. What the hell tape are YOU watching?

 

[Deus Irae]

Amendola's good when he's on the field, but he's injury prone.




In other news, water's wet. Film at 11.

 

[DaBruinz]

Stupid, stupid thread? My man you just posted a freaking video from 2008 to support that belief, also that hit on Welker was a cheap shot, illegal play on a defenseless player trying to make a catch, Amendola had the ball and was running, he was not defenseless, the hit he took was not illegal, it was not cheap and was not nearly as vicious.

This response was an utter failure, please try again! FYI I wouldn’t respond like a **** except you felt compelled to refer to what I wrote as stupid and in reality your post is levels stupider.

No, it isn't an utter failure. You are the utter failure. You seem to have missed where they changed the rules prior to the start of this year that makes it illegal for a defender to lead with the crown of his helmet OR to hit a player in the head, be it with a helmet or not.

 

[Rob0729]

So getting injured makes more sense than to suffer fan criticism?

Also, it's tough to pick up first downs when you don't play due to injury.

LOL! Amendola should have had his skull covered with Adamantium?

You can argue Amedola's groin injury is evidence that he is injury prone. Amendola took a shot to the head doing everything right. That is not injury prone. That is unlucky.

I can't see what Welker would have done any different on that play and he would have been knocked out too if he got hit like that.

In fact, if the defender didn't lead with his helmet, that was a play where Amendola would be far, far unlikely to get hurt because the defender was trying to push him out of bounds rather than tackling him.

Patsfans.com where people complain about helmet to helmet hits on runners......Some of you guys have a gross misunderstanding of the rules as they are today.

As for Amendoala, not much you can do to prevent concussions but he has to realize that there are certain situations where you shouldn't be exposing yourself to those kinds of big hits and its better to just take what you have instead of trying to pick up the extra yardage. The same goes for McDaniels. You wouldn't put Amendola back on a kick return so why expose him to the same type of risk on an end around?

 

[Brady6]

Yep, agree completely. The arrogance and level of self importance is really off the charts. I'm guessing he has been off the meds for his acute narcissism.

Seriously there is something wrong with you and JMC00 to say something about me or suggest I should be ignored because you disagree with what I say about a specific player. I never once prior to your personal attack of me made any mention of you, the way you post, or anything else, I defend myself and if you give me crap I will give it back, but do not put this on me, this is your doings Ivan, and if anyone is a narcissist it is the guy who choose to attack and insult anyone who doesn’t share the same opinion as him and that is your approach not mine, JMC00 he has more the bully on the school bus mentality which is oh he doesn’t fit in because he doesn’t like Nike’s so let’s ignore him. So yeah you know what I do think I am actually let me correct myself I know I am superior to you and I know this because I am not running around behaving like a clicky kid in High School picking on anyone who doesn’t have the same haircut as me or talking about ignore anyone who doesn’t shop at Abercrombie and Fitch.

You make me superior to you, stop acting like a 14 year old freshman and I will not be better than you anymore. As for JMC00 ignore me all you want I never gave a rats ass if the kids liked me on the school bus and I am not about to start now. I hope you both do well on your algebra test tomorrow!!

I agree letting Welker go was stupid but Amendola isn't just unlucky IMO....He bears some for the blame for his own injury history that's all I am saying.

When push comes to shove though, there are only 53 roster spots available..A fully healthy DA would be awesome on this roster, but a DA that is constantly injured is not. I think that is all Brady6 is trying to say and he has a valid point.

As far as comparing him to Brandon Lloyd, its a little bit different, Lloyd would just fall once he caught the ball it seemed, his YAC was non existent pretty much.

The sample size of games we have seen from DA is too small to even have a discussion on cutting him at this point. I mean if he does finish the season as he is currently trending, its a discussion to have in the offseason(And it will be had...trust me), but not right now and not after that brutal hit yesterday.

The way I see it, the man sacrificed his head to try to get us a first down and that is commendable, I just wish he wouldn't do things like that so often...play more downs, catch more passes, go out of bounds, fall to teh ground, give your self up when you see you are about to get slaughtered, but for the love of all this is righteous, please do not allow yourself to be hit like this...you won't last at all.

We need him to be healthy, we want him to be healthy

Had Brady6 started a thread wishing Amendola the best in his recovery and said they need him to be healthy and wish he could stay out there then no-one would have taken issue with it, other than the idiots who trash him for getting hurt. Instead he aligned himself with that faction and even went so far as to say he should be released after this season, which would be absurd even if Amendola was placed on IR.

 

[Brady6]

No, it isn't an utter failure. You are the utter failure. You seem to have missed where they changed the rules prior to the start of this year that makes it illegal for a defender to lead with the crown of his helmet OR to hit a player in the head, be it with a helmet or not.

Translation – I have nothing valid to dispute your OP that Amendola has only proven his critics correct over the first 6 weeks of the season so I am going to start out by insulting you, calling you a failure, only focus on the head injury that caused him to miss 17 minutes of game action, ignore the other 343 minutes of game action he either missed or played a under 100% due to injury, ignore the drops and mistimed routes, spread it out over 218 characters to make myself sound educated and then post it..

Hey remember when I told you we could do the trivia on football knowledge see who won and you ignored me? Offer still stand hotshot..

Also I am a pilot for Delta where I earn a good living, I served 8 years in the Air force, did 3 tours overseas and survived them all, I am married to a beautiful woman and we have a beautiful son, I own my own house in Lynnfield, MA along with a few nice cars and some other toys – I am not a failure buddy, but you’re thinking it is a good idea to make that type of judgment on someone you’ve never met in your life that is the biggest ******* FAILURE in the history of PatsFans.com. Feel free to tell me what your life achievements and things you have that make up your existence because I can imagine you must be a freaking millionaire living in the Hamptons to call someone else a failure like that

 

[Deus Irae]

Translation...

An injury is an injury when you're talking about someone being prone to injury, but making this thread the very day following the concussion was probably not the best timing.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Brady6, Can't read what you are saying, which i admit is awesome. I can only take sooooo much narcissism and abject negativity before i tune it out.


The Patriots had an all time win yesterday, and you respond by taking shots at a guy who got hurt playing his hardest for them to get that win. Bottom line, the Patriots are a great franchise, it's some of their fans who really suck.


I think it's time to go collect my winnings, thanks to the Patriots for that extra cash.

WTF are you talking about, I would have open the thread whether he walked off the field holding Jessica Alba’s hand or missing his head, the guy had 2 receptions for 0 yards, he dropped 1 ball that would have been a key catch, he dropped multiple balls last week against the Bengals, his concussion has nothing to do with the guy has not done anything to prove his critiques wrong through 6 weeks in the season, getting hit in the head does not excuse that fact and I am not going to say oh Danny I hope you feel better, you only see what you want to see Ivan seriously you’re missing the bigger picture here and trying to make this about the head injury when that has minimal to zero factor in how his performance came about in the first 6 weeks.

Unless in those 17 minutes of football played after he left with the concussion was going to be the time that Amendola 21 receptions, for 219 receiving yards and 8 touchdowns the concussion is a nothing more than you trying to steer this conversation elsewhere to conceal the facts I have presented are valid and accurately assess Danny Amendola over the first 6 weeks of the season.

I am married to a beautiful woman and we have a beautiful sun,

OK now you are being narcissistic. The sun belongs to all of us dude.

You can argue Amedola's groin injury is evidence that he is injury prone. Amendola took a shot to the head doing everything right. That is not injury prone. That is unlucky.

He should have slid, that's on him.

Regarding his groin, he put pressure on it trying to stop when he was actually irrelevant to the play at that point. Granted he could have done that when trying to cut with the same result, it was already injured in camp and he simply reinjured it. It’d be nice to know how he injured it in the first place but the basic process is the same.

 

[Brady6]

That’s fair D, for me it is more about his play and I would have opened it regardless, the head injury is like whatever in my opinion it would have been something else at some point, but either way other than week 1 he has not played well and I do not think it is a good idea to pay a player $5 mil so he can go out play great opening day but suffer an injury in the process that will then linger with him and diminish his play all season. He limped off the field after the missed touchdown with him and Brady, he drops balls in both of the last 2 contests, I mean I get it maybe I should have acknowledged he hit his head and gave it a few days but the basis for this thread is still the fact that 6 weeks in Amendola has not proven his critics wrong.

 

[Huckleberry1]

If I am not mistaken telling everyone how awesome you are is definitely the best way to demonstrate that you aren't narcissistic.

He probably hurt it playing football, however if you had a serious groin injury i have no doubt that everyone here would know that wasn't the case.

 

[manxman2601]

But I now want to be him.

 

[Ring 6]

No I am not - Gronkowski to me has had 1 injury that has affected him significantly during his time here, the back was an offseason procedure would have never even been highly discussed if not for its closeness to the arm surgery and he played through the ankle injury. Amendola doesn’t play football fulltime, if it was not the head injury it would have been something else, like I said earlier him on a football field is like dropping your iPhone on the ground over and over again, many times you’ll reach down pick it up and it will be fine but you know it is bound to break at some point.

I'm sorry I thought I was asking the guy who claims to deal in facts.

 

[Brady6]

If I am not mistaken telling everyone how awesome you are is definitely the best way to demonstrate that you aren't narcissistic.

I never said I was so awesome I just said I was not someone who went around insulting people or promoting ignoring people simply based on them not seeing a particular topic in the same light as me, high school kids do that.

But seriously Ivan what gives man? Do you want to ask me on a date or something, you want to come over Sunday and watch the game what is the deal here you seem very interested in making every discussion about me, instead of the Patriots, I mean not to sound all narcissistic but I think you might be into me…:wink:
