YoloinOhio Posted January 17, 2016 Author Posted January 17, 2016 @sprowespn Tom Brady pressured on only 4 of 43 dropbacks (per @ESPNStatsInfo). Zero sacks. @profootballtalk Edelman's game-clinching first down should have been reviewed http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/01/16/edelmans-game-clinching-first-down-should-have-been-reviewed/

1st&ten Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Well, I got a kick out of the pregame shows when several guys picked the Chiefs. Hell, the Bills played these guys tougher. Welcome to the AFC east Chiefs.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 I'll be curious to see what kind of fine Amendola gets... hoping he gets suspended for a game for that hit but at the very least he should get a hefty fine Tuesday morning. Same thing as Shazier. Bupkis.
Deranged Rhino Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Good gif of the hit... man, filthy. http://gfycat.com/FortunateComplicatedIchneumonfly
Mr. WEO Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Good gif of the hit... man, filthy. http://gfycat.com/FortunateComplicatedIchneumonfly Filthy helmet to the shoulder.
Garranimal Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Good gif of the hit... man, filthy. http://gfycat.com/FortunateComplicatedIchneumonfly Filthy? Are you kidding me???? That is a great gif. Amendola's helmet never makes contact.....watch it yourself.....the other player's helmet never moves until Amendola's shoulder pad make contact under his chin strap. That is damned near a text book tackle. Amendola's helmet contacts the other dude's shoulder pad and vice versa. This crap has gotten out of hand where now just a simple hard jarring hit results in people demanding suspensions.
Andrew Son Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Filthy? Are you kidding me???? That is a great gif.

Mr. WEO Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Ha, textbook tackle? I didn't see the ball in his hands. Dirty hit He got a penalty. What's suspendible about that hit?
Deranged Rhino Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Filthy helmet to the shoulder. Filthy? Are you kidding me???? That is a great gif.

Spearing is still a penalty in the NFL, and that was the definition of it.
Garranimal Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 It has nothing to do with helmet to helmet contact. Spearing is still a penalty in the NFL, and that was the definition of it. Spearing requires the crown of the helmet, he made contact with the patriot logo.....it is so not spearing that it could be used to teach what not to call as spearing. Forget the uniforms....or don't...if this is one of our boys everyone is bitching that we get hosed on every call.

Mr. WEO Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 It has nothing to do with helmet to helmet contact. Spearing is still a penalty in the NFL, and that was the definition of it. It wasn't spearing. Where do you come up with this stuff? And tell us what is suspendible there. Still waiting.
Deranged Rhino Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 It wasn't spearing. Where do you come up with this stuff? And tell us what is suspendible there. Still waiting. The rule book? It's the definition of spearing. Initiating contact with the crown of the helmet.
Garranimal Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 He launched himself with the crown of his helmet, that's the rule. The crown is the top of the helmet....you know where the stripe is on most team's helmets. Does Amendola have a patriot logo on the top of his helmet?
Deranged Rhino Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 The crown is the top of the helmet....you know where the stripe is on most team's helmets. Does Amendola have a patriot logo on the top of his helmet? I understand what the crown is. He launched himself with the crown of his helmet. Whether or not he makes contact with the player's helmet is irrelevant.
Mr. WEO Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 The rule book? It's the definition of spearing. Initiating contact with the crown of the helmet. Do you have a gif of that?
Garranimal Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 I understand what the crown is. He launched himself with the crown of his helmet. Whether or not he makes contact with the player's helmet is irrelevant. oh googly moogly....note the bolded part!!!! A penalty called when a defensive player makes a tackle that leads with the crown of his helmet into the offensive player. If the initial contact occurs at the top of the helmet, the tackle is illegal.
4merper4mer Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) It wasn't spearing. Where do you come up with this stuff? And tell us what is suspendible there. Still waiting. Nothing is suspendible for your favorite team. If a guy made a hit on Brady the same way you'd be calling for a jail sentence. Amendola could have broken his own damn neck. He's an idiot.

MattM Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Whether it's a suspendible act or not aside, he's lucky he didn't break that guy's neck, the hit was so high. Nothing is suspendible for your favorite team. If a guy made a hit on Brady the same way you'd be calling for a jail sentence. Amendola could have broken his own damn neck. He's an idiot. As you'll see from my other post, I worry more about the Chief player's neck. This could have been a real Darryl Stingley moment-style tragedy.
