Belicheat being investigated by the NFL again for cheating

[pavyracer]

I don't blame them for cheating. The only Superbowls they won was in the cheating years so they might as well try the recipe that worked in the past.

Lighter balls benefit both quarterbacks

The weight had nothing to do with it. It was the firmness of the ball because of the air pressure which would allow a slightly better grip.

Only one QB was using the ball with less pressure, the other QB was not.

[jjgold]

I thought Luck said it doesn't matter?? He likes a heavier ball?

How did one quarterback play with the lighter one and Luck did not?

Each team had their own set of balls to use.

Let tjem both play with lighter balls then

Fair is fair

[Seaweed]

Smoke whos balls you playing with?

[jtoler]

When you haven't won in ten years makes sense I guess.

[Smoke]

Smoke whos balls you playing with?

Saer i play with my own balls

We need Columbo to get to the bottom of this !!!

[BarkingToad]

Surprised Goodell let it get this far and didn't burn both sets of balls, Indy's and New England's. If Shady Brady says this is ridiculous, then the case should be closed.

" For every rat you see theres ten more you don't." when you add up all the proven cheating just imagin all they haven't been caught at.

Worth three minutes. QB's and RB's speak

This explains how Brandon LaFell jumped from 6% drops to 1.7% drops. He has small hands and has a lot of issues at Carolina...then suddenly becomes an awesome FA pickup.

only 11 of 12 balls? Belicheat and Shady Brady are slipping.

The 12 ball was the kicking ball that didn't need to be deflated.

[Scorpion]

Brady is Gaylord Perry.

I think the NFL is going to come down hard on the Pats AFTER the Superbowl.

I say coach hoodie suspended at least half of next year.


Where there is smoke
there is fire

That might have something to do with Cam's accuracy too. He throws a lot of balls that might be considered drops in the stats that are still damn hard to catch.

It's hilarious how you're using the fact that they haven't won a Super Bowl in 10 years as some sort of insult. That just goes to show the incredibly high standards they have set.

There are 10 - ten! - franchises that haven't won a single playoff game since the last time the Patriots won a Super Bowl. I'd say that's a bit more of a drought, wouldn't you?

Youre making my case. In their mind 10 years is a long time, theyve been to the Super Bowl since then just havent won it, that stings to the core to them which is why theyve cheated so much. Youd think some of those bad teams would be the ones cheating, but no its the Pats, too bad we dont have any accountability with stuff like this, nothing will happen to them and if they go on to win it all it will be a pathetic thing to happen. We need something like the Olympic Committee who are harsh on cheaters.

[TheMoneyShot]

You know what's really interesting... whoever came out with this story kind of told you who's going to win the Super Bowl. With so much scrutiny in New England... and now... them looking like the "bad guys".... the NFL couldn't possibly allow them to win the Super Bowl this year. They let them win... league would look tarnished.

You should pick Seattle... NFL will let them win. Watch.

[Barnes & Whine]

Yes. Let the cheaters lose. Justice League. Let's fix the game in Seattle's favor. It's like we're living in 16th century England.

I was thinking the same thing

[odog11]

See, he's innocent. Y'all owe Bill an apology.

[Luckycharms2012]

I just saw the Bellichick press conference and he looked guilty as penetrate. The man was nervous and basically stuck to a theme of "I didn't know anything I had nothing to do with it"....he answered the first 5 questions with the exact same response, "I told you everything I know" and the next 3 questions answered with "I have no idea". I don't think that press conference helped him at all.

lol That's no different from every other press conference he has ever given. Guilty or innocent, deny, deny, deny is always the best policy. Nothing he could have said could have helped him, only could have hurt.

[Let's Go Rangers]

Would love to see Bob Kraft take a public stand on this and suspend Belicheat for next season.

IMMEDIATELY after the superbowl....win or lose, make the announcement.


I know it will never happen, but it makes his whole organization look like a bunch of cheaters ( and who knows....maybe it goes all the way to the top )

[Jon702]

Who gives a fuk. You guys are watching too much ESPN. You really think deflated balls by 2 psi had anything to do with a 45-7 blowout???

I would understand if it was a remotely close game. The Colts didn't have a prayer...

[Jon702]

Not biased either....I hate the Pats. Can't ever win a bet on them or against them.

thats true, but why did they cheat? They didn't have to

[Jon702]

Why does anyone cheat? To gain an edge. I'm sure they were thinking it was going to be a much tougher game.

This has crossed my mind as well.

my point exactly, they should b punished then. Final score of the game doesn't matter, what would u say about it if patriots won by 4 or something. Rules are there for a reason, if they are broken, there should b punishment.

true.
