Deflate-Gate: Patriots Being Investigated For Deflated Footballs

[Montsta]

It would be the most absurd thing in NFL history to suspend anyone for this lmao

The real embarrassing thing is that a DB and a defensive lineman can catch Andrew Luck's properly inflated footballs better than his WR's can.

Cheating - that is the Patriot way

The joke may have already been used, but...

 

 

LaFell having a good year in New England makes so much more sense now.

The rules are the rules, but it would still need to be determined whether or not the balls being deflated was an actual advantage.

I think thats subjective and not something that can be proven.

Aaron Rodgers just came on the air and said for him it would be a disadvantage, he likes the football being overinflated.

I do think its easier to catch an underinflated football.

But if that was cheating why are guys allowed to wear gloves?

If its proven they broke the rules, then sure take draft picks, suspend Belicheck like they did Sean Payton. Rules are rules even if some think they are dumb.

But whether or not its actually cheating like putting a larger engine in a NASCAR or using loaded bats again is subjective.

Maybe thats why Lafell almost never drops anymore or why shane vereen can catch passes down the sideline or how a lineman catches a touchdown?

Why ?  the rules are the rules.  If you do not follow the rules you have broken the rules.  Doesnt matter why you broke the rules.

What the hell are you talking about? That doesn't matter at all. If they broke the rules, whether it helped them or not, they should be punished accordingly.

It means they let them slide because it wasn't a big deal, like how they'll let the Packers overinflate balls.

 

From the article is sounded like the refs were approving the Packers footballs and then taking air out of them.

Same to you. Push aside the hate for the Patriots, take the blinders off and actually read an entire post if its within your capability to do so before answering.

Thanks

Rest of the post is irrelevant. That statement was wrong and whatever else you said doesn't change that.

Awesome!

Everyone get your feels on! Where the hell is reason at? ESPN loves jumping to conclusions as some do on the Huddle.

Ok you guys act like cheating is ok. If you are beating a team 28-7 and they are intentionally trying to hurt the other team like the saints it's still damn wrong. You can't justify cheating by the fact that they won. It doesn't matter. If you ran for a job and the dude was clearly a better candidate and started lying on his resume though wouldn't you be pissed. I mean cmon. I think the pats should forfeit the superbowl and colts play. Only way to make it right.
