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.

    • He is also a player that has that "lock room cancer" tag.  We don't see much of the full picture, but I try to stay far away from that type of player. He is historically not good at losing, and we tend to do that a good bit. Not a good fit in my opinion.  I respect the skill, though.
    • I honestly can't think of a teams first line basically telling the coach to fug off like last night's line of Aho, Jarvis and Svechnikov did to Rod. 
    • Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.
