OFFICIAL NFL Discussion Thread: 2015-16 Season - Congrats to the Denver Broncos and their fans! SB 5

I hate Massachusetts with a passion. I love BB and I respect TB. Even rooted for them in the SB. All this current stuff is dumb but the way he's handled it is infuriating.


He's lying for his legacy and because he's lied already. Gotta stick with the lie now. Can't back down.

I know you picked them to win the SB but i have a hard time believing you were pulling for them

Has there been a term coined to reference the opposite of "caping"

Ballerificing

I mean he's my dude, but we're talking about Lex Luthor-level anti caping overall.

I hate when that is justification for blatantly breaking a rule or law (just in general, not specific to this). Has to be a better reason

 

[nooera]

Its actually a pretty good reason though. Its logical. Other teams got caught altering balls during a game and there was no penalty. How do you explain that?

Roger had an agenda to win over the masses, Patriots have been caught before, this was the perfect murder for Rog

Me too.

If the rule doesn't work, get rid of the rule.

Don't whine when you get caught blatantly breaking it.

Unfortunately, for some people, this is all the justification they need.

I said I wasn't being specific to this case

But if I was, I would say better reasoning is:

Tom throws the ball better with a certain Psi
The team had observed other QBs doing the same without consequence
The league did not reinforce this rule or show any sign that they took it overly serious
Taking this calculated risk then made sense to make their QB perform at a higher level


To me that's better than 'everyone cheats so is is no big deal'. You weigh the cost vs the benefit and in this case (in theory) the Pats thought the benefits outweighed

The punishment should fit the crime though.

Chargers get caught RED HANDED covering their balls in stickum (ala Jerry Rice), and recieve a warning.

Pats ALLEGEDLY deflated balls and recieved the largest penatly in the history of the league. This has been over the top

Stillin hit the nail on the head

That's from January,can't blame them for being caught up in the wave of misinformation purposely spread by the league in the immediate aftermath of the story breaking...

Show me a poll from this month and I'm certain those %'s will be different

 

[DeadsetAce]

I can't be the only one more annoyed with Irsay and the Colts. Been a decade of whining. Pats DB's play too close to our WR's, we want 3 points after touchdowns, their footballs didn't have enough air pressure. Hmph, we never win.

He's like the little brother who runs inside to his parents crying about the big brother winning in 1-1 because he cheated every single time.

DING DING DING

Doesn't even matter man, we lose the super bowl it's we haven't won since spygate and since we won it's because we deflate footballs.... It's a losing battle, just embrace it and continue supporting the patriots.

Ravens seem to whine more than the Colts

Which is sad due to the 'makeup' of their franchise and I love John Harbaugh


But man they cry a lot

The irony of them always crying about other teams whining to the refs...
