Then start a thread so we can talk about the game!!!I wanna win without having to see a controversy my friend.We should be talking about the game and not about deflated footballs
You're joking, right?How can a 12 psi ball weigh different tnan a 10 psi ball....didn't know air had weight....
For those of you guys still trying to pin it on the temperature change, that would only make sense if the footballs were remeasured in the cold during the game ONLY. If the NFL investigators reexamined the footballs at some point this week (which presumably they did), then it was probably indoors and at a temperature similar to when the balls were originally inspected, so they would have regained any amount of pressure lost during the cold. At that point you could only blame loss of air over time which is unlikely. Footballs aren't party balloons.
Once again the refs checked them at HT and Pats played the 2nd half with balls approved by the refs.
Pats-28
Colts- 0
Where is there outrage for the supposed best QB admitting to overinflating and hoping the refs don't catch it?
Oh, I see. Thanks.The assumption is that the balls were re-inflated at halftime, so any later PSI checks would be meaningless.
Do we know for sure the balls were replaced or re-inflated ? I've seen suggestions to that effect but nothing definitive.Once again the refs checked them at HT and Pats played the 2nd half with balls approved by the refs.
Pats-28
Colts- 0
Or, the Pats played with new balls in the second half and still put up 28 points.The assumption is that the balls were re-inflated at halftime, so any later PSI checks would be meaningless.
Here is an easy equation for you to remember:
Does the supposed player in question play for the Patriots?
a. Yes = guilty!
b. No = innocent

#DeflateGate does open up a Pandora's Box of questions. Did underinflation help LaFell catch the game-winning TD pass vs #Ravens?
I'm not a Pats fan, but many non-Pats fans and Pats fans alike seem to feel the same. Why even do these things? If videoing the signals and under-inflating the balls offers no great advantage, why do it? They're just bringing it on themselves.
I have perfect solution: The Pats should lose all their first half points against the Colts for using underinflated balls and be fined a further two touchdowns for violating the rules, so the final score is 14-7 Pats!
