Week Two MNF: Steelers at Bengals

[PP2]

Dalton is having a horrible night. He keeps throwing off his back foot which is why you keep seeing the ball sail.

 

[nabwong]

Pittsburgh matched our offer. Do you not know how RFA works?

Yes I know how it works. Don't have to be condescending. Our offer sucked.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Sanders. Cheap BB didnt throw a boatload of cash on this guy ..

And this is a perfect example of why some people are so frustrating to deal with here. Sanders is a lot like Amendola: a good, intriguing talent when healthy, but he's missed 8 games over the past 2 years.

In fact, I'd argue that Sanders was a bigger health risk going into this season than Amendola was, since he's had chronic foot issues, whereas Amendola's injuries have been more of the freakish, one-off variety.

A lot of people are all about Sanders right now, but if he'd come out in week 1 and hurt his foot, they'd be right at the front of the mob whining about how Belichick spends all of his money on guys who are made of glass. Meanwhile, they'd probably be watching Amendola on MNF and *****ing about how the Pats should have paid him instead of being cheap.

Amendola wont be back in 3 weeks.

How do you know that? Based on all reports, he should be back in two weeks assuming he doesn't need surgery. He is practicing.

I was betting man, I would bet he would be back for the Bengals game. I wouldn't be surprised if he is back for the Falcons' game, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I wasnt really excited about throwing away a pick for a WR who may or may not have got this system. If pats were truly excited about this guy they wouldve offered better. I dont have any regrets about letting him go personally.

It sucked so badly that nobody else thought to make a better one.

Can we stop attacking fans that just disagree with something the Patriots did? SVN is a great fan that contributes here.

Yes it did

Gruden: These Steeler defensive backs are the best!


LOL

I think you dont get my sarcasm . You missed the threads from yesterday. Sorry , forgot to add ..

I hear ya. I too don't have any regrets. But it was one of the best options at that time. I still believe in these rookies but Sanders would have been a good Branch replacement.

 

[Ozymandias]

Gruden's ballwashing of Ike Taylor is laughable.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Haha, my bad. All I can really say is that you pulled off the sarcasm very well, because it was indistinguishable from what half of the posters on here would write with total sincerity.

 

[sb1]

d%#*!@t that should have been caught

Yeah, it is damned if you do or damned if you don't with the Pats.

We as fans are starting a disheartening trend. It seems after week two every year, people come out of the woodworks trashing the team and second guessing every move Belichick made. Last year it was all about Welker and "sitting" him and how it cost them the game vs. Arizona. In 2011, it was how the defense was all about how many yards Rivers and Henne threw for and how the Pats were one and done in the playoffs if they got into the playoffs.

Hope so but I dont think he will. He is practicing today but is hobbling as per reports. BB has a history of being very cautious with players not playing early on in the season if they are not 100%. He may play in 2 weeks if this was a must have game/playoffs but I dont think they will amendola will play before he is 100% and moves effectively. And frankly i dont want him back unless he is fully fit.

Relax. It was sarcasm. Read the posts from yesterday. Everytime some WR caught a ball some were calling Pats cheap for not trading for that guy. I just played with it.

Amendola is a fast healer. When he broke his clavicle, he was back on the field after four weeks.

But even if he is hobbled now, it doesn't mean he won't be healed in three weeks. Depending on the groin pull, it may be more than enough time for him to heal.

I wasn't directing it to you specifically. I am talking about this board in general since Thursday.

But I apologize since I didn't get your sarcasm. Speaking from personal experience, sarcasm doesn't always translate well in print. You don't always pick it up. Read my posts since 2006.
