Deflate-gate? Report: Patriots being investigated for using deflated footballs

[manifold]

If anything at all, a deflated ball made it easier for them to grip. That is all.

Less likely to fumble too.

 

[Oldstyle]

It's now being reported that the 11 balls were re-inflated by the officials before the start of the second half after the Colts brought it to their attention that the ball they had intercepted felt "soft".

Just to remind you Patriots haters...the Patriots outscored the Colts 28 to 0 in the second half.

Then why did it take until today to release the news that 11 of 12 balls were under-inflated?

Something doesn't add up here.

They had a great game. Everybody was on. The defense had a good game as well. I hope to see more of that kind of playing at the Superbowl!

Belichek is known for pushing the rules and this one may cost them. I don't think it made a difference in the games outcome.

It definitely did not, since the defense played a big role in us winning that game, as well as the run game. With a couple of exceptions, this was the case from the beginning of the game until the end of the game.

Sorry, but you are NOT clever. Lol.

Patriots won fair and square. Blount had an excellent game too. Deflated balls certainly had nothing to do with how he dominated the Colts defense. Lol. Face it, the Patriots won because they played a better game. Of course, the haters are going to accuse them of cheating. It happens EVERY year.

I only remember them being accused of cheating twice, and both times it was confirmed that they had.

Try being a Steelers fan. We're accused of having the refs on our side every other game.

All I know is that I watch every single one of the Pats games, and they are a great team. That is why they win games. You can see that by watching the highlights. If the allegations are true, then I have no idea why the Patriots would do that because, obviously, they do not have to do such things in order to win games. We have MANY weapons.

Why does a Wall Street executive, already making millions a year, push the envelope to make a couple million more?

Why does a man like Nixon, already expected to win by a landslide, push the envelope, and break into DNC headquarters.

It's a mentality most of us don't understand, but it's far from uncommon.

That news was a leak...as was the news that the officials re-inflated the balls at half-time. Who knows what is correct and what isn't?

This is officially a big deal.

It doesn't matter if every other team in the league screws with the PSI. It doesn't matter if Bill Belichick didn't even know the balls were manipulated (if they were). It doesn't matter that they would have bludgeoned the Colts anyway.

The Patriots cannot comport themselves with a 'do business as business is being done' mentality. They forfeited the right to that mentality in 2007 when they got pinched for filming defensive signals and the 72 miles of fire and sharp glass the team got dragged through as a result should have convinced them.

I want fans defending the Patriots to consider this scenario: The Patriots lost their last two Super Bowls to the Giants. What if it was discovered in those games that the Giants had some sort of edge the Patriots did not? And that edge was illegal?

What would you think? What would you say?"

Some people want to succeed without regard to fair play. Some people don't want to win if that means they must take an unfair advantage.

Maybe the Colts would have lost anyway. Maybe over the course of the season the Patriots don't win enough games to end up with home field advantage without cheating.

Maybe on their own field without the Patriots working an unfair advantage the Colts win.

Belichick and Brady are constantly bragging about knowing the rules better than the other teams. By that admission they obviously knew they were cheating.

Why would the Patriots do such a thing and take the chance they would be caught if it didn't help their team win?

Yeah if Beli-CHEAT had not been caught before in 97 cheating with spygate,I would think nothing of it but this is FAR TOO COINCIDENTAL.

Is that why Carroll ran from USC?

Too bad the joke NFL considers dealing with something harshly is depriving them of merely a first round pick and a $500.000 fine.mere pocket change to these multi millionaires. the NFL is a mockery,these players like Michael Irvin go out and do drugs and get a mere slap on the wrist and pocket change fine.you do that in college or what belicheat did in college,you get kicked off the team or in belicheats case,kicked out of the university.
