After the balls were replaced mid-game for fully inflated ones, the Patriots went on to miraculously decimate the Colts.

i mean, tbrrrrrr, my own personal pet theory which i have expounded previously on this subboard does include the patriots deflating the balls, in an unauthorized way but not with a result that i would describe as cheating for reasons in the circumstances, but it is as much conjecture as anyone else's published account and there is no legitimate definite by which the patriots could be described as having been "caught cheating" and the nfl just made a laughing stock of itself (again) and ne won the super bowl anyway (again)

deflategate was 100% a makeup call for other shit Goddell wanted to punish the Pats for. of course it wound up blowing up in their faces
the problem is the NFL has no creativity with junk like this. instead of suspending him just make him play with overinflated balls for 4 games. if he suddenly turns into Blake Bortles, well, then you've got your answer

deflategate was def iffy. notice everyone is evading spygate.
― Mordy, Thursday, 1 February 2018 18:59 (six years ago) link
well it is inarguable that the patriots failed to comply with a league-wide memo about from where precisely in the stadium sidelines could be filmed and were punished for their temerity. truly a scandal to resonate thru the ages.
― Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 1 February 2018 19:08 (six years ago) link
In a report for ESPN, Don Van Natta Jr. and Seth Wickersham contend that commissioner Roger Goodell's handling of Deflategate was influenced by his hasty and incomplete handling of the Spygate incident.[71] Van Natta Jr. and Wickersham argue that the true extent of the Spygate scandal was covered up by Goodell and the National Football League in order to protect the image of the NFL and as a favor to New England Patriots' owner Robert Kraft, who was in part responsible for Goodell's promotion to commissioner.[71] The report alleges a highly complex system in which opposing teams' signals were recorded, decoded, and relayed to Patriots coaches and players on the field during games spanning at least 40 games between 2000 and 2007.[71]. This system also included a personal assistant to Bellichick who had a photographic memory and had the official title "Football Research Director", the only person with such a title in the NFL, he told congress stories about sneaking behind opponents benches and filming their huddles. According to the article a scout team would go out to future Patriot opponents and film signs and plays. They would then make a spreadsheet of all the signs and corresponding plays, Patriot staffers would then hand off the spreadsheets to the "football Research Director" who would match signals to the plays. The Patriots would also sometimes bring in former players of the team they were playing ask them if they accurately had recorded the signals, they would later cut the player.[72]The article goes on to quote a former Patriots assistant as saying "things got out of control," in reference to the entire system of covert taping and signal decoding.

some great KEY STATS courtesy of warren sharp:
in the 11 games NE has lost since 2014, they averaged 22.4 ppg on offense, which is the exact average for all teams in all games in that period. the 11 teams they lost to averaged over 31 points in those games.
The last season that the Patriots lost a playoff game, they kicked off that postseason with a game in which Tom Brady tied for the lead in rushing attempts (6) and Steven Jackson led the team in rushing yards, with 16 (2.67 YPC).

i saw a headline that eli thinks the eagles can beat the patriots. would've been so much more fun if he'd say they couldn't. "i've looked at this match up and there's just no way. you have to be really special to beat belichick and brady in a super bowl"

actually according to the rulebook if the super bowl is tied after overtime they enter a final sudden death period where each team starts with 11 players but has to field two fewer each change of possession until someone scores or it is one on one football, mano a mano, the purest football of all
