Suggs: Loss to Bengals 'most devastating' of my career

[Ring 6]

WAS better in every category.

Since they won the Super Bowl in 2012, the Ravens are: 8-8, 5-11, 10-6, 8-8 and 9-7.

And Payton was 11-5 7-9 7-9 7-9 11-5
Hardly a difference that overcomes 4 fewer playoff wins. So Payton made the playoffs 2 of the last 5 and 4 of the 6 before that and harbaugh 1 of last 5 and 5/5 before that.
Your Payton argument is very weak.

FTW.

Mortensen is scum.

The fact that he turns out to be mortal ~ as every one'f us is ~ doesn't change that.

disgusting to link his cancer diagnosis to deflategate related "Karma". Foolish and disgraceful, and silly too.

Glass houses, man...

. I can not disagree with you

STFU, AssHole.

Cutting that Murderer loose when we found out what he was speaks voluminously in favor of this Team, not against it, you drooling, idiotic, Crevice.

Not gonna start a love/hate on Bob Kraft tangent, but indeed that was one situation where he was decisive and showed good character. Whenever I tell Broncos fans here about the jersey refund (as well as the privately funded stadium), they don't really have much to say about the Patriots being a terrible organization.

Scenario:

Suggs gets cut this offseason by the Ravens to save cap space.

We sign Suggs. Resign Harrisson for next year.

Our starting OLBs would then be Harrison and Suggs.

That would be pretty hilarious.

I think that there were lots of Colts involved: Grigson for sure, Pagano likely, even for Irsay I'd give 90% odds.

The funny thing is that, while even I group both teams together as the victims of "the curse of the deflategate liars", the Ravens are probably much less at fault. They merely thought that something fishy was going on with the K balls in their playoff game with the Patriots. Given the front office connections, they then told the Colts about it.

Turns out, something fishy indeed WAS going on with the K balls, but it was a rogue NFL employee stealing them for profit, not some NE shenanigans.

So the Ravens were at fault for assuming that it had something to do with the Patriots, but it was the Colts who took that minor insinuation of possible wrongdoing and worked with Kensil to set up the sting. A plague on both their houses. 100 year curse for Indy, but a bit less for Baltimore.

Nah... the Ravens are whiny bastards also... 100 year curse for them too!

I agree. Anyone on the Colts sideline who mattered had to know what was going on.

I'm confident that there are one or more "smoking guns" out there and that someday, somebody, somewhere is going to make a lot of money or win a Pulitzer by exposing the fraud that was perpetrated on Tom Brady and the Patriots. I think that's why journalists like Sally Jenkins and Gary Myers won't let the story go.

To me, the surest sign that this was a conspiracy is that, in less than a year, Kensil was removed from his job as VP of League Operations, with oversight over 256 Regular Season along with all Post-season games, and demoted to staging two or three international games per season.

Then, Kensil's entire staff was fired or moved elsewhere in the organization.

"Cover-up 101" would teach that you get rid of any potential trouble makers at a low level and that Kensil was kept on at full salary with vastly diminished responsibilities for an indefinite period of time, just to keep him quiet.

I want to like this post 1000 times, then print it out and frame it and hang it on my living room wall.

If you liked that you'll love the Deflategate End Credits!

My own view is that many Pats fans were so conflicted over the Jills making the playoffs that they didn't have a chance to revel in the Cravens loss.

But, I can't think of a better opportunity to revisit the Deflategate Fraud Karma Scorecard after yesterday's events.

All set, boys and girls? Here we go. (I'm sure that there are additions that can be made to this list, so go ahead!)

The Deflategate Fraud Karma Scorecard

On January 18, 2015, at the conclusion of the American Football Conference Championship Game in Foxboro, Massachusetts, footballs used during the game were measured to determine their PSI after a complaint about their "softness" from the Indianapolis sideline. The measurements, while taken by two different gauges and never aligned to the individual balls as measured after inflation before the game, nonetheless revealed that the balls weighed within 0.231 psi (i.e., the weight of a toothpick) of the weight that would be expected, according to the laws of Physics, for balls that had been inflated in a room with a temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit and subsequently used in an environment with an average temperature of 42 degrees in a cold, wet rain for three hours. While subsequent studies performed by independent scientists, from MIT to Cal Tech, showed that the only thing that caused these balls to lose air pressure that day were the Laws of Nature, the subsequent events came to be known as "Deflategate" and resulted in a four game suspension for Tom Brady, subsequently recognized as "The G.O.A.T", a $1 million fine to the Patriots and the loss of first and fourth round draft picks. Objective observers now view the entire charade as a Fraud.

Baltimore Ravens: The team whose whining after the Pats outsmarted them in the 2014/15 Divisional Round most likely led to the Deflategate Conspiracy.
Regular Season Record since that day: 22-26
Playoff Appearances since that day: 0.000000
Joe Flacco QBR since that day: 83.4

Indianapolis Colts. The team that conspired to create Deflategate.
Regular Season Record since that day: 20--28
Playoff Appearances since that day: 0.000000
GM Ryan Grigson
The "Mastermind" of the conspiracy:
Fired 2017
Subsequently sentenced to Cleveland Browns.
Chuck Pagano
Fired 2017
Andrew "Salty" Luck:
W/L Record for three entire seasons since that day: 10--12
IR in 2017*
D'Qwell Jackson: The stooge who "reported" that an intercepted ball felt "a little soft" (a statement he subsequently denied making):
Suspended Four Games in 2016 for PED use
Cut in 2017
No longer playing in the NFL

Mike Kensil, VP of Football Operations and commonly regarded as the instigator of the conspiracy and most likely the source of the leak to HSPN:
Demoted from VP of Football Operations 2016 to VP Game Operations International, i.e., from responsibility for oversight of 256 Regular Season and 11 Post Season games per year to oversight of three games a year (probably a case of keeping him on for an agreed number of years at his old salary just to keep him quiet)
All senior staff members of NFL Football Operations: fired or moved to other jobs

Chris Mortensen*
The "Tweeter" and main Deflategate perpetrator
Operating on tip from Kensil (or one of his now fired flunkies) publishes an inaccurate and misleading Tweet about the loss of air pressure in the AFCCG Patriots' game day balls, which starts the entire charade. He later removes but does not apologize for the Tweet.
Diagnosed with Advanced Throat Cancer, which, after a period of remission, has now metastasized to his lungs.

Your New England Patriots
2015 Season and Postseason through 2017 Regular Season:
Regular Season Record since that day: 39--9
Post Season Record since that day: 7--1
Two Super Bowl Championships
Three AFC Championship Game Appearances
Three Division Titles

Tom Brady:
Average Regular Season QBR since that day: 105.7
36--8 Regular Season Record
7--1 Post Season Record
Two SB MVP's

Karma: she do be a ******

* Note: we take no pleasure in the injury of Luck or the tragic illness of Mortensen and wish them both full recoveries...but, how Karma treated each...well, it's not my place, as a mere mortal, to question Karma...

Update: Grigson canned by Browns

Browns get rid of Ryan Grigson as part of personnel moves
