Edelman admits faking head injury in Bills game

All true, but none of that makes him any less a POS.  That is what he has always been and will always be.  

I don't disagree.  I'm just not inclined to spend a lot of time fretting about it.

 As much as you want to say people sound like a bunch of whiney kids, people are sick of all of the BS the cheatriots commit to. The OP is rightfully pointing out that his caviler attitude and the manner in which he acted points to a systemic issue throughout the entire organization that it is okay to "cheat" or fake injury or whatever they need to do to win. So either you are a Cheatriot fan and are okay with their tactics, or you are a blind, dumb and ignorant Bills fan that should leave and go join a Cheatriot fan page.

Thanks Happless I thought “cut blocks” were illegal and what he did was just go low.. learn something new every day.  

 

well as I mentioned Superstars get special treatment, and while Brady is in the twilight he is a face of the NFL so probably a good chance a flag is thrown if he lit Brady up.   Mind you I think everyone was shocked he threw a block. 

 

No, cut blocks by offensive players are legal (with caveats, doesn't everything have 'em?).  The Pats OL has used them for years, and Daboll brought a lot of cut blocking here (drove me nucking futz last year because our last years OL could not execute 'em correctly.) 

If one offensive player is already engaged with a defender, then another offensive player cut blocks before the first disengages, it's a "chop block" and illegal in the NFL

 

It's a very powerful way for a skilled but smaller player to take out a larger more powerful player effectively if done well (as we saw with Brady - I give him props, he did it well and totally took Tre' by surprise)

Please put your sanctimony and ad hominem attacks aside. This Pats organization is corrupt. This is a fair and reasonable assessment. Facts bear it out.

They should have drug tested him after the game.

[BuffaloBills1998]

Scumbag organization scumbag coach Scumbag players and Scumbag QB. I hope they get obliterated in the playoffs, someone on here said 51-3, that’s not enough I want to see 70-3 or possibly 70-0 with Brady getting his ACL torn and Stephon Gilmore getting a season ending injury as well and Edelman of course. Maybe some player should purposely run into Belichick while their at it I know I would if I was on the field. Let him know what a cheating B word he is

Complaining gives ya something to do but gets you nowhere! Write that down.. (lol a Van Wilder quote)  the Facemask was a bad miss but i do believe been the 15 not the 5 yard line. 
 

I didn’t see Brady try trip anyone especially since he rarely was hit so.. I missed that.

 

Allen had 3 or 4 groundings not called, sad thing is I think it was a mess up with the WR all 4 times.

Gilmore played amazing but Brown still got his big play in.. the hands thing people need to let go he is an elite CB like White they get away with more. 
 

 

You are on our board enough there was an entire thread about the Brady trying to trip Oliver.

 

Looks like you learned from Belichick, act really smart about football and then play dumb when it suits you. 
 

typical Pats.

He’s a clown and obviously enjoys seeing Bills fans being angry and miserable. I don’t get why he’s here to be honest. Every time someone argues/disagrees with him he basically a condescending ?bag.

I’ve noticed this condescending attitude with Pats fans. It is as if they feel that since the team they WATCH has won they somehow know more about football. I don’t understand why Mods let them post on here. What’s just as bad is we have a few posters here who are Pats fans in drag. Has a Pats fan ever started a thread on here? Are the allowed too?

It is true, I saw the post game interview this morning. as to why? Because he's an idiot that has had to many head injuries in the past and lacks the common sense to think of the potential consequences of his actions.

So you have consistently not answered the question. Are you a Pats fan on some level? You are right America is a free country. I believe you are from Toronto. Look I don’t really care that Pats fan come on here if they will come on when they lose too. I do have an issue with Pats fans  coming on here after a Pats win and trolling.

Another Pats fan. 
Do you have any trouble cheering for a team that has a head coach that was caught cheating, numerous players suspended for HGH and PED’s, Edelman had to sit out last year, and an owner who got caught receiving illegal massages from women involved in sex trafficking? 
The list goes on and on for the Pats. Sorry, these are facts.

No offense here: isn't there a disconnect between a guy faking an injury to get out of an obvious penalty and championing your team's toughness?

Sometimes. I think they had a 9+ minute drive in the game. The O is pretty weak this season and they haven't controlled the clock like we've seen in years past.

No offence taken. I'm referring to fans not players. This goes to knowing football. It was very obvious immediately what went down. If someone didn't know I would say they don't know much about football

I'm not sure what aspersions you're attempting to cast here.

 

What I will say is that it was handled properly. Obvious penalty was called, and the player was forced to go through the full protocol to be cleared.

 

Bush league? Yes. Anything more than a situation that arose and was properly addressed? No.

since 1/2 the board is telling me the game didn't even matter, and the Bills really didn't try their best, and a large proportion screaming that Edelman is the worst person ever....

 

 

this will be a fun 2 weeks...

Edelman has missed two games in his career do to concussions. It was the same one that caused him to miss the two games. His head injury status is fairly clean.

I would agree except for the bush league part. I thought it was heady :-) but very obvious.

I was really using sarcasm to state how much of an a-hole he is vs giving a factual basis of his number of head injuries. Sorry. my sarcasm part of the brain is not fully functioning today and I didn't type that out well enough to make it clear. 

 

  Of course those 2 games are only reported concussions. I wouldn't be surprised if he and many other players have had unreported concussions.

[Jerry Jabber]

Speaking of faking injuries, what Edelman did is nothing compared to the gross exaggeration of injuries by soccer players.

Sorry I missed the sarcasm. I think he's a pretty good guy but not the sharpest tool in the shed. Concussions go with the territory. He's had 4 grade 1's that we know about, The SB one, the one that caused him to miss two games and two that he passed protocol and returned to the game.

He is easily one of the most hateable guys in the nfl. The epitome of little man syndrome and a proven cheater.  We would love him if he was a Bill though. 
 

but given the climate of football, this should be taken very seriously.  Head injuries aren’t to be joked about.

Completely disagree. It’s why I can never get into soccer fully and it’s creep into basketball.  Football players are supposed to be warriors. I don’t want the BS in football especially faking something as serious as a head injury.

He was going to need his kidneys replaced in a few years after all that HGH anyway...........but now after his brush with death he can get accelerated up the list in the US and have the work done at Massachusetts General.........instead of having his henchman steal kidneys from tourists in the DR until he got a match and then having some dude with a Costa Rican medical degree do the procedure.

Oh come on. It was hilarious. If Tre White did that, we’d be having a parade for him. He screwed himself by having to go to the locker room for a bit, but this hating the Pats just because we can’t beat them is silly.
