Of course they are. Belichick said on Monday press conference that he knows nothing about inflation of balls. Never gave it a thought. Then later after a question , he said they practice with different types of balls that are over inflated, deflated,some wet,etc all the time. So you never gave it a thought but yet practice with balls with different pressure...??? Guy is FUKING two steps ahead of everybody and figures out things. Everyone says a softer ball is easier to handle.
They caught him on Spygate taping a walk thru at the Super Bowl. Have him taping signals from other teams during games.Accused of being in possession of a Jets play book. He is the one who learned to manipulate injury reports awhile back and would have 20 players listed as questionable and Brady on their all the time beforeNFL cracked down on that.Have him picking up players cut by the Jets,Bills, and Dolphins and give them a small contract or have them on practice squad to gain insight on their divisional opponents. Just some of the things he's been accused of doing and pushing it to the limit to gain an edge.
Of course, Spygate was the only serious offense that he got caught but Roger destroyed the evidence and Pats were fined 500k and lost #1 pick. This situation with deflated balls is just another example of getting an edge and seeing what they can get away with. Unfortunately, their is always some bad apples that know how to exploit the system. Got to really give him credit but that's why they are despised by many.
