I never said anyone was innocent I said I'll wait for the investigation to conclude to damn anyone. And for outdoor games teams have the option, which is always exercised, to provide 24 instead of 12. Who said the Colts balls weren't equally deflated? I haven't yet seen anyone discuss that. The fact that there are so many questions is why I'm not voicing my opinion on the matter. Spygate has already convinced everyone that the Patriots' have been caught again, who knows if thats the case. The investigation has not yet concluded and the report on it has not yet been released.
no where in that article does it say rogers or anyone on the packers inflated balls. it reads like he doesn't like the rule of the max psi or how the refs deflate the new balls prior to games as per standard protocol to get there. am i missing something
Well if the refs are taking air out of the balls... it stands to reason Green Bay presented them to the refs overinflated. Which is why I said, if they actually did something to the balls- then go after them and I'll accept it. If they presented them like that... like every other team seems to do based on that article... then I'm really not going to give an F at all.
are they testing the Colt's 12 balls too? If thy also have a big % of underinflated balls then this is a non-story. If they have 0% underinflated the Patriots are screwed
Its honeslty a joke to begin with,It didn't give them a major advantage.This is becoming a bigger deal then it should.The Colts got embaressed and a deflated ball wasn't the reason for it.
2 honest questions. If it didn't give them an advantage, why do it? Got to be some SMALL advantage, even if they didn't need it to beat the Colts. But what about the week before? When the Ravens lost by 4 points on a much MUCH colder day? Could that SMALL advantage have been the difference? Like a one score difference? _
And what if the same was done in the Ravens game? Or let's say twice against the Jets in the regular season? Or to any other team in the regular season? How long has it been going on for? How much of an advantage does it give Tommy and the pats? Why is it even in the rulebook if its not an advantage?
OK so you think the new balls provided prior to the game and prior to the PSI testing and correction were over inflated by Rogers or the Packers even though that was never said in the article. Not a completely unreasonable assumption but still reaching. That said, even if they did ... that's completely different than doing it after the official PSI normalizing that occurs prior to the game.
Well I was just using common sense and reason... but someone else posted a video link with Phil Sims saying that exactly that happens and joking about it - so I guess I was right.
