Deflate-Gate: Patriots Being Investigated For Deflated Footballs

[Jangler]

Exactly, 45-7! People just dislike the Patriots, in the words of the fictional character Kim Jong Un, "They hate us because a they ain't us!".

 

And that's what I read from many of my fellow Panther's fans. It's relatively easy to view this objectively but many of you have already formed your opinion on the Patriots since that 2003 loss.

 

 

 

just to be clear...I hated the Pats before 2003.

Everyone found out about "Spygate" after the 2003 Super Bowl loss, so of course people will jump all over this as just another example of the Patriots being who they really are and proving that all that they've accomplished is fraudulent. The problem with most people is they can't understand that all forms of "cheating" are not created equal.

 

There was one ball on the field each play. The ball didn't prevent the Colts defense from showing up. and playing with a regulation-size ball isn't what stopped the Colts' offense from scoring more than 7, therefore, I can't really care about it too much whether or not it's true. 

 

If they had just beaten the Panthers, I'd still be saying the same thing. Anyone who thinks I'm lying, must have no clue why they dislike me so much. Of course I would be.

I would prefer that people accept their spanking like a 4 year old, and move on. Test the balls if you want but 45-7 isn't a fluke, especially given the Colts history against the Patriots since Luck has arrived. The result shouldn't be any more surprising than the Seahawks come back.

Maybe you don't realize that I don't give a sh*t about the Colts or the Pats and apparently can't grasp a very simple concept. Regardless, enjoy the Patriots win Panther fan.

I agree the lack of play from the colts was ultimately the deciding factor. But it still doesnt change the fact that the pats had to find a way for an advantage other than jus beating them fair and square.

[TheSpecial1]

Scandalous.

[ThinkAboutIt]

Actually both sides use their

Own ball. And they have seperate balls used when kicking as well. Pats have their own, dido for the colts. The same ball is not played with the whole entire time by both sides nor by special teams.

 

I said "EACH PLAY" not the "whole game."

[Diehardpanther02]

I said "EACH PLAY" not the "whole game."

Yeah misread that my bad. Edited and commented differently.

[Jangler]

so I guess this was deflating loss for the colts....

 

 

I didn't read the whole thread.

[Diehardpanther02]

Everyone knows the cheating doesnt matter but its always fun to bash on the pats parade. Fug the pats and the seahawks. I Will never allow either Of their bandwagon arse fanbases ever enjoy a win.

So the point you are trying to make is that if you cheat, AND you manage to blow out the other team, you can claim that your cheating is somehow “not equal” to other cheatings, because you would have won anyway?

 

I think you have allowed your opinion to get a little twisted there unfortunately. What determines whether you cheat or not is the intent, not the outcome. The Patriot’s had every intent of purposely deflating balls, therefore they are cheaters. Period.

If they are proven guilty. Billicheat should be banned from the game, forever. The guy looks for ways to get by. History shows when he cheats they win. Prior to tapegate the Cheatriots were 10-0 in the playoffs. After (prior to the start of the 2014 playoffs) they were 8-8.

And since this is there second offense. They should lose all draft picks. Maybe even given to the teams they cheated against.

[Frank Hollywood]

Dude offensive.

Straight R rated, flag on the play.

The score was 45-7. And for the record, Presbyterian hospital downtown, mint hill, Independence High, US Marines,

Panthers all the way. If its found they deflated the balls they will lose draft picks.

But hanging 45-7 on deflated footballs is for losers and cowards.

Where did I claim that's the reason they lost? Doesn't change the fact cheating is cheating.

Not sure what the marine comment is about as if thats supposed to mean something.

If you have ever played football in the rain you would know this is a huge advantage.
