I would understand if the game was close at all, but it was 45-7. I think the deflated footballs is not a good excuse for the loss. If it was so deflated, it would have been noticed by the defense when picking up the foootball from an incomplete pass or something, or referee, or some NFL official. But the Colts only scored 7 points. What is their offense's excuse for scoring only 7 points?
Very convenient for cheaters.Also, to answer your question, there are some rules that should allow leeway.
Zero proof that the Pats broke the rules here. There's more proof that the NFL doesn't follow their own rules (picking up flags) than anything.
the colts defender reported today he noticed nothing by the way. the colts front office requested the ball from the staff on the field . It was falsely reported that the player noticed it, reported first by a colts writer.
can u see where this is heading?
Then Pete Rose should be in the HOF and all the juicers should too.

Thought you hadn't made up your mind Cesaro?
The person who started this thread is saying it's perfectly fine to give leeway with the PSI rule. If so, then it should be okay for any team to do it anytime they want.
I did indeed make up my mind that I'm against all teams being allowed to bend rules whenever they want, yeah.
If Brady and Belichik and the entire NE organization truly had nothing to do with it, then they have nothing to do with what I'm saying.
Both teams players and coaches from SB have had scandals , juicing or cheating . Lets not be hypocrites and point fingers, I wont against any Seahawk player or team. Some posters are setting it up so that if Seattle loses, "at least we are nor cheaters" Give it a break please. respect each others teams and talk about upcoming game like WH,SCID ,Logical etc to name a few
Obviously, the air pressure wasn't too obvious if the referees that handle the balls each play didn't know the difference.
The first part of your post has nothing to do with me. I've never defended any cheating by any team, including my own.
As for the part I underlined, with all of this scrutiny (as if there weren't enough already), I highly doubt NE will have an opportunity to bend or break rules, and if Seattle does, I'd be really mad. Whoever wins will be have earned it, and if we lose, I'll go after any of my fellow fans who pull the "at least we aren't cheaters" thing because it's silly.
NE and Seattle fans have always been pretty cordial with each other.
In this thread, I responded to somebody who said that it's fine to break rules as long as it doesn't change the outcome of a contest. I disagree with that, and continue to do so. Sorry.
