Former member Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share #2 Posted January 24, 2015 It's too late for them to cover it up, but also too late to let the Colts play in place of the Pats. The logistics of it would be insane, and a Seattle win would completely stain the championship. Who will ever value this Super Bowl winner as a true champion?

Dottleshead ★ Posted January 24, 2015 Share #3 Posted January 24, 2015 We need the Patriots. Geesuz, keep the Dolts out of it. Any penalty should come after the Stuper Bowl. Doc 'em a draft pick of some kind and move on. As far as I'm concerned, I don't care if we lose --- we'll of course I do --- but as a fan I want to see the two best teams play. I can't imagine anybody else wants to see the Colts except maybe the Indy fan. The Pats would have smoked 'em with more pressurized balls anyway. Perhaps as punishment, the league can spot the Colts 40 points next year and ensure regulated footballs. Maybe they could get at least a tie then.

I know what you are saying, but I'm not happy with this. No one wins now. If the Pats win, They cheated. If the NFL actually proves the Pats cheated, and Seattle wins, they beat a team that didn't deserve to be there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted January 24, 2015 Share #21 Posted January 24, 2015 Assuming the NFL can prove the Patriots tampered with the footballs, how do you THINK they will handle it? I'm NOT asking how they SHOULD handle it, but simply "HOW ARE THEY GOING TO HANDLE IT?", in your opinion? I think that the evidence is crystal clear that they did tamper with the balls, as they were not inflated to within the range specified, you gotta take the "ifs" right out of there. Big ass fine, take the first rounder, suspend the responsible party (either Belichick, Brady, or JMcD) for half a season, force them all to get "CHEATER" tattoo's on their foreheads. This is because they are cheating bastards and the world likes to punish cheating bastards, and to deter other would-be cheaters in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen him get an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The guy's a clean player. He just hits hard and within the rules --- something your safeties don't know anything about. Speaking of which, who are those no name guys?? Gronk is an all-pro. We've got 3 all-pro safeties and corners. I'll go on record and say Gronk makes some plays but not nearly enough.

Unless they draft great, and attract top free agents, they'll never be a great team. When you have a great record, it's hard to get top draft picks. That is what makes the Patriots record over the last 14 years so impressive. Marino was so good for so long, they never had a chance for a top draft pick. Everyone passed on Gronkowski, but the Pats were so solid that they gambled on his health. Upstart teams can't risk a top draft pick on a player with injury issues.
