They had 22 minutes of possession time. They had the ball about 37% of the time. That's plenty of time for "400 pound guys to fall on the ball".

 Just to point out you are using the whole game clock.

 

If we use the stats through half time when the balls where checked and apply the same possession percentage.

Patriots would have had 19 minutes play on 12 balls.  Average 1.5 minutes per ball.  With 2 touchdowns.

Colts would have 11 minutes play on 12 balls. Average 1 minute per ball. With 1 touchdown.

I will CUT you...;)

Hahahaha!!!!!!

Well, I just can't be mean to her (even though she is so very wrong). We have too much history...:)

You can send Tom or Gronk to spank me. I'll take one for the team...

LOL, if the NFL doesn't see it as a problem, why does anyone else. Cause you hate the Pat's you you are on the "I hate Pat's" train. Still love you though. Pretty sure what I am sending you for Christmas!

They obviously do or they wouldn't be investigating it.  We'll have to see what the outcome is in a couple of days.  BTW, I don't hate the Pats.  Tom Brady was my fantasy QB two years in a row.  Last year I had Danny Amendola and Shane Vereen.  So I'm obviously not a hater because I NEVER draft any Steelers players because I hate them.  lol.  I do hate the fact that the play shady.  They don't need to.

 But a 25K fine says that it isn't a problem with the NFL, 25K is just an attempt to placate haters. Not the NFL.  If it were a problem to them they would replay the game or ban Belichieik

 They have to investigate if there is a complaint.  This is just a lot of hype about nothing.

25K is the minimum.it could be as high as 500k. They don't care. They pay to win. Its what cheaters do.

 I'd pay 500K to have life size Brady lifelikes installed in cement on your lawn. Just saying

This isn't a lot of hype about nothing. I'm not surprised you can't see that because your vision is clouded. I would be interested in your reaction if the Colts won the game and then you find out they played with deflated balls that someone who works for the Colts may have tampered with after the balls were checked. I don't think you would think it was nothing. But you're not going to admit it here.

 The Colts don't have the hatred against them the Pat's do.  As I have previously posted, I don't care.  But what I do know that in any sports situation, the unpopular team always get accusations thrown at them. If a billion dollar industry is concerned so little to impose a 25K find, the "offense" isn't that bad and in fact must be common.  The haters of the Pats are the ones that are bringing this to the front, not the NFL.  Perhaps you are clouded by your Pat's hate.

The one that brought this to the front was D'Quell Jackson that caught the intercepted ball and noticed that it didn't feel right and told his coach, who told the head coach, who told the officials and they checked the balls. They did that at half time. 11 of the 12 Patriot balls were noticeably deflated, while the Colts balls weren't. I don't blame D'Quell Jackson one bit for that. You are getting as bad as Obama supporters calling haters racist. I hope you see that.

I don't think you can be mean, period. 

I don't thinks its funny at all. But I'm not going to fight with my friends over this. IKWTDS and I are close and I'm not about to get mad at her over football. Seriously????

I don't like to have my comments dismissed either btw... and called a hater. Don't call me a hater because I've never hated the Patriots. But right now, I feel I'm being pushed in that direction.

 I get that.  I just got a "little" offended about the hater stuff.  I'm good.

 Oh great, bring it into politics now, you sound like the message boards on online newspapers now.  Keep that crap off this board or at least of this thread. It is a game, not politics.

Sad. Apparently not a lot of real football fans around here because it's a joke when the integrity of the game is fvcked with. I really don't think it's funny but you guys can all laugh and call those that don't agree with you haters. I will wait until the NFL ruling and I will respect that.

Thank you.

For most of us, the Super Bowl is a big deal.

OK, then stop with the "haters" thing in regards to people who don't like the Patriots.  I used to like the Patriots quite a bit but no I am not going to support a team who has a coach who is  history of cheating.  And, that are only the things they have found out.  I am sure if they dug deeper, cheaters are usually quite good at covering their tracks.  But, calling people "haters" because they want to call out cheaters, well who is "politicizing"? 

If you have to cheat to win, you are no winner.

Well, lets review. The 2nd half when the balls were switched out? Pats killed it.

No, people are sick of them cheating and getting away with it. I didn't have any angst towards them until they were found cheating and laughed about it...

In 2012, nearly five years removed from the incident, former Jets head coach Eric Mangini stated that "I think when you look at the history of success that [the Patriots] had after that incident, it’s pretty obvious that it didn’t play any type of significant role in the victories [the Patriots] had or the success that [the Patriots] had." As of the conclusion of the 2011 NFL season, the Patriots had the best record in the NFL since Spygate, compiling a 48-16 record from 2008-11 (the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints were second best over that span at 45-19).

Mangini was employed by the Patriots as an assistant coach and has three Super Bowl rings with the team.

The Patriots won 69.3 percent of their games while they were presumably taping signals; they have won 75.6 percent of games after the spygate scandal.[29]
