I dont know what this means really but this is what I saw:

So @mortreport has 11 of 12 balls Pats used underinflated by 2 lbs. so 16 percent flatter. 10.5 or less PSI? And no one noticed? Wow.
Again, people are talking without knowing the math. PSI is not weight. 2 pounds is 16% but pressure is parabolic. You have to use a different equation to measure how much less it is.
We've had people that said it's 7% less pressure, and Sports Science on ESPN said the difference in weight is about as much as a dollar bill, and that the fingers dig into the ball less than a millimeter more.
