If they needed a trial balloon to gauge the public's response, they're even more tone deaf than I thought.Trial balloons to guage the public's response.
I can only hold out hope that this was the doing of the weather, Brady, or another employee.
The key is that Belichick wasn't aware of and/or didn't order this. Otherwise... welp.
If I'm BB I'm reporting every infraction any team ever does in a game against us from this point forward.
Every game I'll say the opponents balls feel a little deflated(over inflated vs the packers) potential camera men? reported
Noise? reported
Slow to show replays at opposing teams stadiums? Reported.
Missed field goal? Better report the opposing team for ****ing with the kballs.
Scorched earth in the nfl.
First Half (deflated balls)
Brady 11-21 95 yards 1 TD, 1 INT
Team Rushing
20 Carries, 93 yards, 1 TD
Second Half (reflated balls)
Brady 12-14 131 yards 2 TDs, 0 INT
20 carries, 84 yards, 2 TD
What an advantage.

more science stuffs that GODell will ignore
But it makes it easier to grip and throw, at least that's what all these media experts are saying.

I have to believe there is NO WAY this is something Bill Belichick had control over. This has to be on Tom. Period. And even so, who really cares? If we get docked draft picks it's time fot Kraft to lead the charge to oust Goodell.I can only hold out hope that this was the doing of the weather, Brady, or another employee.

Not calling him stupid by any means. But, as Vinatieri said, Belichick looks for a competitive advantage in any way that he can get it. Hopefully he's not implicated in this but, if he is, it honestly wouldn't surprise me.

His biggest ally could very quickly become his biggest enemy over this ridiculous accusation. Taint this franchise one more time, just before the biggest event of the year......treading on very thin ice Roger.
Really would doubt BB being implicated, in that:
1) The NFL would have to prove the weather was not a factor.
2) The NFL would have to prove that the balls were tampered with, beyond a doubt (e.g. visual evidence).
3) The NFL would have to prove that BB had direct knowledge of the matter. BB, who we know isn't dumb by any means would know to insulate himself in the same way a mob boss insulates himself from a hit by always dealing with a middleman, or dealing with it indirectly, such as telling the equipment manager: "Make sure the balls are the way Tom wants them to be."
4) The big problem, and the big thorn in the NFL's ass is how do you implicate BB or the Patriots without involving the referees (and consequently the NFL, themselves)? If he is implicated, that means they failed to do their job (and so did the NFL), which is to make sure game balls are up to spec at all times through protocol that is hard to mess around with.
