That means they cheated for extra wins in a league where one turnover can mean the difference in a game. How many other types of proof will be needed for patriot fans to realize fully that their team really isn't as good as they claim it is? I'd like an admission of the cheating, please.

They are the best at cheating. But if they are doing this, then it seems that other teams would be doing it as well. Or did they figure this out, then lobby for the change in rules to make it easier to cheat? Would be interesting to go back to old tapes now and watch for the ball boy stopping in the bathroom with the balls at other home games.....

Former member Posted January 29, 2015 Share #7 Posted January 29, 2015 When are you going to admit that where there is smoke, there is fire?i fully admit that they play with underinflated footballs, but I don't believe the league gives a shit, and I think most teams do the same thing.

Former member Posted January 29, 2015 Share #10 Posted January 29, 2015 If they did, explain the fumble numbers and how they conicide with the rules change?Im just listening to former players that don't have an axe to grind against NE say that it's common, and don't think it's a big issue. I doubt the league will change the rules, but I think they might start actually enforcing the rules they have in place, and actually do the ball tests that they are supposed to do. I don't believe the officials actually test the balls before the game(like they are supposed to). I think they just give them a quick look, and give the balls their OK.

Yay! You are probably mostly right, too, or you were. They are giving shits now, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted January 29, 2015 Share #13 Posted January 29, 2015 So the Patriots are the Lance Armstrongs of football? I'm thinking of a different analogy - a league that looked the other way while players took performance enhancers, because those good players created a spectacle, sold tickets and made money - but then the league ended up throwing those same high-profile players under the bus. I'm pretty sure "Deflategate" is less severe than steroids in baseball though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are giving shits now, though.the league got caught with their pants down again If they immediately denied any wrongdoing, I doubt anyone would be talking about it. The League screwed the pooch.

Former member Posted February 1, 2015 Share #18 Posted February 1, 2015 It's funny that Aaron Rodgers has said he has their balls over-inflated because that's how he likes them, but no one is calling him a cheater. "Inflation Gate" is an excuse that losers are using to deflect the fact that their team sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
