Also about deflate gate, do you not think that surely if the pats were going to cheat that the best time to do it would be in the superbowl against a team we have a more likely chance of losing against? Why not save your trump card for the final with no chance if it being overturned? Cheating in the AFCCG makes no sense because it's only going to have the public and the officials have their eyes more on the pats, and perhaps have decisions go against them. Also if we lose the AFFCG or the superbowl, what difference does it make? Much better to take a chance of cheating in the big one if that was the plan. Now If I'm thinking this do you not think one of the best coaches in sport wouldn't think the same?
We don't think this, we think Brady has been deflating footballs for a long time, especially in cold weather games where there's a big grip advantage.
That's the thing you guys keep clinging to, and it's a false premise. Who the hell with any sense thinks the Pats just deflated footballs for one game? No criminal gets caught and people think "oh man that must be his first time breaking the law!"
No, it deflating footballs doesn't explain the Colts beatdown, but it sure as heck would factor into a 4 pt victory over the Ravens, or all the other close cold weather games you won.
