Deflate-Gate: Patriots Being Investigated For Deflated Footballs


Recommended Posts

Interesting. Bob Kravitz claims Patriots are now being investigated by NFL for supposedly using deflated balls while on offense to improve grip in heavy rains. Could potentially face fines and loss of draft picks.

Worth noting that Kravitz has some sort of affiliation with the Colts. Stay tuned.

Why is BB never suspended?  Sean Payton was booted for a year for destroying the integrity of the game.  Billy B.  has been wiping his ass with the integrity of the game for over a decade.

 

 

Didn't the NFL get rid of most of the spygate files?    I know for bountygate,  those f'ers were finding wadded up pieces of tissue paper with scribbling on it,  to  judge the Saints by.

Considering they manhandled the Colts, I don't think this mattered much. That being said, if this is true, it certainly helps to perpetuate the narrative that they are cheaters. It'll also cause me to assume that they're probably always doing something that they shouldn't be.

    • This season is about two things that impact the Ws and Ls 1. Can Young be, or ever  be, a top 15 qb 2. Can Evero be a decent DC  my personal feeling is time may be up for one and the other’s time should’ve been up before season start  regardless of my personal feels, I’m glad football is back and hope to be proved wrong every Sunday 
    • The point was, largely it was cool to be critical of select players all off season (XL) and not be questioned about your fandom, being negative…..but select folks react different if done to Bryce.    and if XL had an army of defenders (which he didn’t) there would be plenty of “derailment” as you say.  But people largely accepted you should be able to be critical of XL. Therefore the good and bad were BOTH largely accepted convo.  I have no clue about your joke analogy.  Racist jokes suck.  Jokes about race can be funny.  I do know some people view it all as the same thing. 
    • I am not sure that would necessarily hold up to a large data sample and some in depth analysis. It's certainly an interesting theory.  IMO(anecdotally), the better backups are usually older backups that were above average NFL starters for long periods of time. That and just guys that are always fringe bottom third starter, top third backups. Flacco, Dalton are current examples of the former. I think guys like Tyrod Taylor and Jacoby Brissett are good examples of the latter.  The issue with Lance/Richardson/Wilson is that they were ultimately big busts. So you have to bank on them being the type of player that can handle that, battle back and make a decent NFL career. I am not sure I would say that is the majority of those type of players. Winston is just a different thing. He is an old school gunslinger that is pretty inflexible when it comes to playing style. If you don't have an old school offense tailored to a Brett Favre type gunslinger AND have a defense elite enough to win when he is turning the ball over like gangbusters.....it's tough for him to consistently win games. It will be damn fun to watch but the W's are gonna be rare.
