I would think kicking a deflated ball would cause it to travel less, not more.

That does look a little soft

What was the temperature?

EDIT: looked on Weather Underground. Was 52-57 deg F during the game.

The only "logical" way the NFL could handle this is send out a press release citing the ideal gas law and science to clear up any misconceptions that this could have been tampering.. the world might explode..

That kickoff one is from a different game.

EDIT - Different Seattle uniform and what looks like Panthers blue on the opposite side of the field.

Lol is that real or is that photoshopped? if it's real? WTF!

So you are saying they have a pattern of cheating?

Sure, why not? A couple days ago, I had some Seahog fan telling me how the Pats are such big cheaters.

The at-moment-of-kick one doesn't bother me. Even a properly-inflated ball is going to deform a lot from the kick. I would be surprised if it didn't deform like that.

The one in the punter's hand is more suspicious.

i wouldn't put too much stock in that picture of the kick. balls of all sorts deform a lot when hit:

You'd want more PSI for a further punt, not less.

Here's the problem for Pats fans here..

Those are all K balls, the ones used soley for kicking, they are not prepared by the teams, and kept by the refs. So no way you could blame any team for their condition. Plus anyone who has ever kicked a football knows, you want them inflated as much as possible.

Come on Quantum. That ball is clearly 0.03657 lbs deflated.

Stop using logic, you Cheathawks apologist.

Good point Bbo. I have long suspected that all sports deflate their balls.

I know, I don't see why it would help either but they do get to work the K balls after Tony Romo's fumble in the playoffs. I am not sure if balls punted are K balls though. I don't think so. We can have some fun though

not the Pats....

move along....

At least everyone will be happy Sunday night.

I think the answer is obvious. The punt ball is not a K Ball but a game ball so the photos of the punter grasping the ball the way he did proves Russel Wilson uses deflated game balls. Alert the Bill's forums.
