calfoxwc Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Bellicheat is a chump. If it isn't one thing, it's another. At least they don't just rely on cheapshotting opponents in the face, helmet and knees to win. At least the Patriots are intelligent in creating illegal ways to gain advantage... They would have won vs the Colts, anyways. The Colts were undisciplined...very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyserSoze Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Come on. They crushed the Colts. This is BS. This. Colts didn't show up. Regardless of whether "deflated" balls hindered Luck's ability to throw or not, they let Blount rush for 148 and 3 TDs. That's all that has to be said. I personally think it's the Colts refusing to admit they got their asses handed to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 At some point, the NFL will recognize that Brady and Bellichick were the best ever at what they do. No......Paul Brown and Otto Graham were the best ever at what they do.....if by "what they do" you mean "have a coach/QB combination that wins a lot". Yea, BB and Brady have won more games together.....playing 15 years together vs. 10....and playing 16 game seasons vs 12. And BB and Brady have won more postseason games.....but when OG and PB played there was only one single postseason game played in the entire NFL season....with rare exceptions for ties. And don't forget Vince Lombardi and Bart Starr......and Noll/Bradshaw. In the team picture? absolutely. Convincingly the best ever....certainly not. The crushed the Colts in every conceivable way. Luck is very good, but receivers like TY Hilton would be second stringers on any other team without him. That dude drops more than he catches, and if you don't play perfect football against the Pats, you lose.. Well, I would like to have TY Hilton. Imagine what Brady could do with him. It'll be interesting to t see what comes out of this, but the outcome had nothing to do with deflated balls. it had to do with being outclassed.

Tour2ma Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 and wouldn't deflated balls create the same advantage for both teams? Surprisingly, except for K balls, each team preps a pool of balls for its own use, i.e., rubs them down, breaks them in and inflates them. The teams' supplies are kept separate. I can see an underinflated ball being easier to hold onto, but throwing one? Also just heard there is range for inflation: 12.5 to 13.5 psig.

The Cysko Kid Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 So then why are you slobbering all over their knobs? What is your gay mission statement supposed to mean? How is this laughable feeble attempt to call them cheaters "slobbering on their knobs"? I don't know why I'm bothering to respond to a piece of shit like yourself but now I'm kind of interested.

calfoxwc Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 A. Nobody is saying the balls deflating means the Colts might have had a chance to win. B. After spygate, etc..., if this is true, it means that Butt Belicheat and co. loses some draft picks and/or gets fined. Again. C. Cheating doesn't stop being cheating, simply because the Patriots won big over a team that thinks that Trent Richardson was worth that # 1 pick. D. Jimmy Crack Corn and I don't care.

They do... all must be in the 12.5 to 13.5 psig range. Doesn't mean they can't be deflated a tad on the sideline. Funny aside: One host on ESPN this AM referred to the refs "weighing the balls" to check that they are properly inflated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it can be argued that BBs success has been the result of having Tom Brady. Honestly...if I were given a choice between which to take I would take Brady, not BB.

Out of position, knocked on his ass, overplaying plays. An occasional stop, sure....but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoorta Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 and wouldn't deflated balls create the same advantage for both teams? Not so Mud. ESPN posed the question to Aaron Rodgers. Apparently when you get to that level, quarterbacks do have a preference. Rodgers likes his on the high side of the range- strong grip, and has more trouble with mushy ones. Maybe Brady likes his on the mushy side- and Shades of Spygate- maybe Belicheat found out Luck likes footballs on the high side too- and was somehow feeding him mushballs? I wouldn't put it past him. Now I agree the Pats dominated the Colts so badly it wouldn't have mattered much if New England had been using rugby balls. They do... all must be in the 12.5 to 13.5 psig range. Doesn't mean they can't be deflated a tad on the sideline. Funny aside: One host on ESPN this AM referred to the refs "weighing the balls" to check that they are properly inflated. Nope, there's also an allowable weight range. Better x-ray those Super Bowl kicking balls to make sure Bellicheat doesn't put some lead in the ones Haluska is using.

SkippinTurtles Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Deflated balls award goes to Colts management for being too pussy to sign LeGarrette Blount when the Steelers released him. The whole league knew the Colts had shit running backs. Blount has character issues. Not as bad as the owner Irsay. They played it safe and fucked up.
