If you ain't cheating then you ain't trying.

how would they go about proving this? seems its hard to prove. you could blame it on weather conditions, wear and tear throughout game. throw a deep ball and it lands incomplete i would expect depending on surface it hits that it could lose some air. even if it was done by some ball boy, equipment manager, whoever, the team could say they didn't know what happened.

The name of this controversy is so obvious, and since no one in this thread has come up with it, I'll copyright it now.

Yep whatever you say hero. Just commenting on another report of your team apparently cheating..but that's all my fault. You may want to ask your team why they feel the need to do this shit...I'd rather lose with my dignity intact.

Ummm it's not substantiated yet, so at this point it's only rumor, a bad one at that. And yet you have already through your hatred of all things Patriots decided to except it as truth.

Learn to read I said apparently.....who's the overreacting hater bro? You just can't stand that your team is always under fire so you take it out on everyone else. I told you go complain to your owner like he gives a shit...or take a legal course in self defense. :noidea:

Is this a real story or, just a bunch of trolling?

I already posted this on another thread , for the uneducated or slow ones, and I'm not judging

Anybody with an IQ of over 1 knows that the refs touch the ball after every play. The RB or receiver hands or throws the ball to the ref. Like they wouldnt feel that the ball was under inflated? I know when I have a football in my hand if it has too much air or not enough, and I dont touch it as often as these refs have in their careers.

Anybody with an IQ of over 1 knows that the refs did feel that the ball was under-inflated and replaced several balls during the game.

Thanks for cracking the case of whether or not the refs touch the ball lol. Irony.

Apparently the Colt player who intercepted the ball on the throw to Gronk said he felt the ball was soft and he complained to the coach to complained to the GM and they complained to the refs...

So another Haurbaugh? Something the competition committee will "look in"

It certainly would explain why Kravitz was the first to know.

Only time will tell.

Although I think the deflated ball thing is a huge stretch, it is absolute gold reading all the posts by the defensive Patriot fans. You don't get the reputation as being cheaters for nothing. It is a stigma that will linger over BB's head forever.

Yeah even when we don't break the rules, we're tricky. Easy than saying our team wasn't good.

When Gronk spikes the ball this is what is left. No conspiracy here.

If they check the Colts they'll find most of their players with deflated balls after that ass whipping.
