Deflate-Gate: Here We Go Again

[Boston Boxer]

If we are found guilty of deflating the balls, then BB needs to be fired. Sorry to say, but if we are caught, then he needs to go. this is just plain embarrassing.

 

[Deus Irae]

Our team is so ****ing good on the field....Bill stop ****ing with our reputation off the damn field.

Let the players on the field do the ****ing talking.

This **** pisses me off. We the fans have to deal with this crap because our coach always has to push the unnecessary rules.

Ugh.

Let's wait for the actual report before we go hanging anyone. Just for the hell of it.

 

[PatriotsInGA]

The Patriots supplied the Patriots ball boy.

Thanks for the clarification. Still, my second point on that still stands with him being unable to get away with it. The amount of cameras in that stadium make it literally impossible.

what the **** is this crap


seriously

what the ****

 

[Kdo5]

Wow, I feel sick to my stomach.

would be ironic if cameras cleared us of all of this.

 

[Notorious]

If found guilty, this would absolutely put an "asterisk" to any Super Bowl victory... people won't give the Patriots the credit they deserve, now.

They barely give us credit for the three titles we won anyway.

I'm convinced now that belichick saw his team put the ball on the ground 3 or 4 times vs bal & decided to have the game balls deflated to be softer to give his players a better grip on the ball....inexcusable

 

[TBR]

I'd personally like to feel an 11 PSI ball vs. 12.5 PSI ball. I wonder how noticeable the difference would be.

 

[heavyde050]

Please just a fine. If Belichick gets suspended or some insane penalty like forfeiting the SuperBowl - I would never watch a football game ever again.

I don't even care about BB at this point anymore.

I think Brady, McD, and Patricia can win this.

 

[festy1986]

Two things. If true, and it's a league thing (Rodgers flat out said he makes the refs deflate their balls) then it's time for the pats to snitch out everyone and everything.

Number 2. I could care less about the weight of the balls, you tell me how and when it happened and then we can talk.

 

[BadMoFo]

Here's what I don't get, why didn't any of our guys or the refs notice as the game was going on.

 

[Deus Irae]

Frankly, I'd love to know how they were able to accomplish this, if they actually did it. Given the reported time constraints, it seems as if it would have to be a pretty slick operation.

 

[Mark12]

WOW, I'm speechless.

To be honest though, some of Brady's throws (the ones to Edelman and Vereen) looked they needed air. It makes no sense they would use this as an 'advantage.'

Also, I can recall at least 3 drops. So much for the grip.

This really makes no sense.

 

[skri65]

The giant logical gap here is how much weight does a properly-inflated football lose when it is subject to the conditions of a NFL football game in that weather.

This seems to be the obvious question. Has anyone answered this?

 

[Joey007]

I can't believe this.

Well they might claim the officials check the balls 2.5 hrs before kickoff and return it back and then it wouldve been 'doctored' , not during the game.

 

[Dutchmaster617]

This 4th win will be discredited guys, we have to deal with that.

Maybe next year we can win a SB and hope we don't get called cheaters.

 

[tombonneau]

Why leave one ball at normal weight? Trying to be optimistic, but is it possible that ball didn't make it into game action?

Yeah, they really need the Colts balls for a comparison. You could conjecture it's wear & tear and that ball never made it onto the field.

Conversely, you could theorize a sneaky ball boy deflates them a bit before pulling them out and that ball is the one that never made it into play.

 

[Jackson 2]

I hope I'm wrong, but right now I feel as though I've been duped for a long time. Right now I don't care what the f### happens.
