It would seem they need a gauge with .5 psi increments at the largest if the valid range is 12.5 - 13.5.
So now that they took away deflating the balls from Belichick's repertoire of cheatery what's he going to pull tonight?
een if it was one ball 2 lbs under explain that please? the others are a few ticks bull shit on tha. Again why were the Colts balls properly inflated. I hate fucking cheaters
Well you can go ahead and close this thread now. Regardless of whether or not the Pats cheated, they won't be punished now, no way Goodell allows the NFL to be tainted by the Champions breaking the rules.
that happens i hang up my nfl football fandom...forever... soooner than later. Fuck New England and their sorry cheating franchise
The Pats wouldn't exist to me if the Jets had just won the Super Bowl. Another example of Pats fans being obsessed with Jets fans. Pretty sad that you're actually here when you could be enjoying a Super Bowl win in real life, bitch.
He's not in the HOF and the Giants didn't cheat, they were stealing signals and it didn't markedly help them.
Missed the game due to time difference, saw the last play on highlights. Why in the world does he throw that ball? Insane. Another fluke catch almost pulled the Patriots down, that would've been some bad luck. Well here's an idea about the over-inflated ball fiasco. If most of the balls were barely under the limit, and if the Pats like them at 12.5, that is easily explained by the conditions/ball prep. And again, if this was a method of cheating, why aren't all the balls at the same psi? That doesn't make any sense. Deflate one ball 2psi and the rest are barely under the limit? Of course the 2psi ball was the one that the Colts had on their sideline. But no, Colts would never do anything shady. That big of a difference in one ball makes me wonder what the hell happened to it. And I'd be looking at the timeline and where the ball was before it was measured. That makes the Colts look really really shady.
Kraft saying that they won the super bowl w/out deflating the ball has no relevance. That implies that the argument is that the Pats can only win w/deflated balls, which no one ever stated. Everyone knows the Pats are a great team (I hate saying that but it's true). The point is that they did cheat to get an edge, not that it was they only way they could possibly win...I hate that franchise so much!
Brady preserved his own legacy last night though...that can't be denied. Bill's legacy is another matter, but nobody likes Bill anyway.
Cheesy franchise that had no reason to cheat and yet it is imbedded into their very being by bellicheat. The very fact that kraft felt the needed state it should push the NFL to do the right thing. As i said in an earlier post win or lose won't change the facts. The pats are CHEATERS.
The nfl will take a massive pr hit either way. This season has put a lot of casual fans off to the nfl. Im honestly glad it is over. This was a terrible year for the nfl. They should want to forget this one quickly
I feel they'll cover the rug over the deflated footballs..... that's if the the other owners don't want to relent..... if they are still pissed, maybe they get the bowl revoked. Situation was the Hawks gave this one away by the playcall...... Cheaters
