Why the fuck should pats fans be disappointed or frustrated? Fuck that. Literally who gives a fuck about some underinflated balls? If I was a pats fan I'd be rubbing it in everyone's face telling them to go buy some men's uggs and worship at the altar of Brady. Whiny faggots are mad about bullshit, why the fuck do you care?

I think it's funny how you supposed football people can pretend it wouldn't have made a difference in the game if Brady's completion % had been as shitty as Luck's was. Are they still scoring 45 points if half of his completions had been in the dirt?

Brady is a better QB than Luck, by light years, and he's never struggled vs soft teams like that. Luck always sucks vs the Pats. Brah, it's science.

People are crazy if they think the Colts would have won if the balls were properly inflated.
Just like people are stupid if they think it's no big deal and the Pats shouldn't be punished just because they would have won anyways.

if you cut their score in half, then deduct even another touchdown & extra point, then double the colts score its
15 pats
14 colts

lol. See? Even with your fucked up homer logic, at least it's a game at that point.
Brady may be a better QB, but look at their seasons and you'll see they had about the same completion % this year. That's why it's not a stretch to say if they were playing with the same ball in the wet weather, his accuracy would have taken the same hit Luck's did.
Colts need to find a backup QB named Good. Then Indy can argue whether it's better to be Lucky or Good.

Half the league is on drugs, we got refs blowing crucial calls in every game, and you coming at with some bullshit about underinfalted balls? In the NFL?

I think every Pats fan is face palming, if only for the bullshit we have to sit though.
That being said, giant mountains are being made out of mole hills. Fat asshole Francesca is campaigning for Belichick to be suspended for the Super Bowl. I mean, lol. Give me a fucking break.
Yea, this gives the h8rs ammo.... but its a joke.

Colts twitter reactions have been pretty great. Not the butthurt you're looking for. Dwayne Allen unfortunately summed it up best by saying it didn't matter if the Pats were playing with balls made of soap, they'd still have beat us.
But they're still cowards and cheats.

I think it's stupid that this is a big deal because I'm pretty sure every single team is doing all kinds of "illegal" things for slight competitive advantages. I also believe the league looks the other way on most of it (steroids). In this very circumstance, it sounds like the officials don't actually care very much (lots of other QB's apparently saying everyone does it), but because someone decided to make a big stink about it now they have to respond. It honestly sounds like the refs don't take this part of the job that seriously. They probably blow off weighing them at the beginning of the game because...who gives a shit, really?
I feel the same way just given that they handled the deflated balls for an entire half with no eyebrows raised

Oh baby, you're gonna give a shit now, I'm sure its all we'll get to hear about leading up to, at at least through the first quarter of the game, how each ball has been personally checked and yadda, yadda, yadda.

No one thinks the Colts would have won, and the idea of suspending Belicheat from the Super Bowl is ridiculous. However, they need to send a message that the rules apply to everyone, so docking them two high picks and suspending him at the start of next season is completely valid. I would also fine his ass 1M just on principal. The dude doesn't give a shit what the rules say.

If anything, I bet he gets a slap on the wrist. The league really probably doesn't want to go overboard here because, as I said above, it sounds like this is something every team is doing. Not only are they doing it, but they'vebeendoing it for decades.
Rodgers has said he pushes the envelope in the opposite direction (over inflated), Matt Leinart said it's something that every QB he knew did, and Terry Bradshaw was talking about doing it all the way back in the 70s.

I think a better way to handle this would be to abolish the rule and let all the teams inflate/deflate all their balls to whatever psi they want. Then we could have awesome graphics during the games showing what psi each team favors and have nerds in white coats tell us what effect this may or may not have on the game.
this makes perfect sense considering each team has separate balls.
this is good. also fits the bill of the NFL trying to increase scoring... allows the QBs to perfectly doctor the ball to suit them.
