This just in, the laws of physics doesn't exist on the visiting sideline of the patriots stadium right? Their balls were inflated to the same PSI as the Patriots by the same refs, how come they didn't end up under inflated?

Except we don't know that. Colts balls could have been inflated outside to 13.5 psi and i am sure they were roughed up in indy not right before the game.

He's gone Creslin, don't even try to explain it to him. He's got a nice year long vacation coming, plenty of time to think about deflated balls.

I dont think Wilfork is going to make much a difference. I think what you are going to see defensively is alot of run blitzing with the Linebackers and forcing Wilson to throw the ball. If, and its a huge if.. If the Pats can limit Lynch with Collins, then I think you will see Seattle struggle on offense.

Pats need to dink and dunk underneath offensively. Seahawks wont be hurt deep by NE other than a well timed Gronkowski seam route from a 3 TE set.

I don't follow the NFL, but filming from the sidelines instead of a designated stadium box sounds like pretty tame cheating.

So they used a deflated ball and filmed from the wrong spot, what else you got Hoss to justify the "constant cheating" statement?

I don't see how you need much more than that. If intentionally breaking the rules isn't cheating, then how do you define it?

But I do have one more thing. Look at all these rabid fans and notice that none of them are actually saying the pats don't cheat. They're all doubling down trying to justifying it.

It wouldnt surprise me if the NFL is planning minimal fines/penalties/suspensions at this point. But is simply hoping that the additional pressure of allowing this problem to persist until after the super bowl will help the Patriots lose. Thus making a lesser penalty easier to digest.

Even as a Patriots fan, I think the only way that NOTHING happens (penalty wise) is if some the ref crew didnt do their jobs properly, or are thrown under the bus. Although its debatable whether incompetence, or the allowance of tampering is a bigger smear on "the shield". Probably depends significantly on what Roger thinks makes the league look better.

My memory is a little fuzzy. When we had the referee strike, I remember one of the issues was whether refs would continue to be part time, or become full time employees. Who was on each side of that? If the NFL wanted the full time refs (like i think I remember), I could see them using this as leverage

Wrong thread, we moved all Cowboys talk to the off season thread.

Azeth_sl said:
why, what do you know about professional football teams seasoning their game balls over the course of a weak? what is your experience?

Well, going by bellicheat's initial presser on the subject, he knows at least as much if not more than "The Greatest NFL Coach of all time (*)" BB said very clearly he didn't know jack shit about where the game balls came from, and in 40 years in the league he'd never even considered it.

Ya NFL wanted refs to be full time. But a guy like Sterratore (sp) does a ton of NCAA hoops and makes legit money and Hoccuhli is a torts lawyer I believe, and he makes crazy money. They didn't want to take the pay cut.

Intentionally breaking the rules is a stupid criteria.

How about intentional Pass Interference? OMG CHEATER! VACATE YOUR TITLE!

There are lots of different degrees to it.

It's cheating. Is it constant cheating?
