Guys--here is all the evidence you need. While it may seem imperceptible, clearly the ball Luck is using is larger than the ball Brady is using--Brady's ball has clearly been deflated. Also, in the Brady picture, there is clearly a NE employee seen tampering with a game ball. The cheating just never stops with this team. _
Best thing about this thread is that instead of Patriots fans celebrating a win and Super Bowl berth, they have spent an entire morning on a Jets message board defending their team (yet again) from cheating allegations. There is no better evidence of their strange obsession with the Jets.
there's been what 2 NE fans here? I'm sure there's plenty of chowder heads up there getting their fair share of celebration in between Sam Adams' and wicked awesome hipster parties. However- the point that the Patriots organization always having a cloud of doubt surrounding them in these situations is a fair one.
Yes, when a team that has previous incidents of cheating is caught cheating again, allegedly, it is into more and reported more so than a team with no previous incidents. Just like if a player has previous incidents of helmet to helmet hit is going to be fined more than a player who does it for the first time.
The other possibility is actually a fact - the Pats don't hand the balls to an outside ball attendant they remain in the possession of the pats after the nfl weighs them. But let's not let facts interfere with your defense.
I have no doubts that Belicheat did it. It's in his cheating DNA. Max fine is something like 25k. Chickenfeed for Robert Kraft.
Like many have said, I don't think it would have mattered if they used rocks or frisbees last night..that game was a shalacking in all phases. It's just that there is always something with New England. It can never ever just be a straight up clean win.
I counted 4, and there are easily 6-7 in the Woody tampering thread. Then you look at their forum and there are over 100 trying to be rulebook experts and failing. The point is that there is a bubbling cross section of morons sweating deflated footballs and Woody Johnson syntax when they should be rolling around like puppies in a giant pile of kibble.
Seriously. I am tired of Pats. Them and their antics. Enough is enough. If they really did this, they should be kicked out of Superbowl and Colts should play instead. What is this bullshit. We as fans don't deserve this. I want a fair game. I want clean football where there is no cheating like Pats have been doing for years. When is it gonna be enough? Pissed like hell.
This should come as no surprise. The Patriots have a history of cheating. Even if they're innocent, best to due a thorough investigation just to make sure everything is on the up-and-up.
