scoring 7 points with any kind of ball, period.
Gator Fever;n157848 said:I agree but imagine if this was the Ravens game. All hell would be breaking loose now with people saying NE should have the win taken from them. Its looking like the Ravens were the ones that tipped everyone off now but I guess they didn't officially make a complaint during the game even though they suspected the footballs were deflated.

Alvin York;n157854 said:The game was played in a driving rain storm. I'm sure Luck would have appreciated the advantage of a deflated football. Alright, skip the outcome of the AFC Championship game. What about the highly contested game with the Ravens. Flacco had a 40 yard pass in the air that would have won the game for Baltimore but the Patriots unaccounted for safety that broke in and saved the game for New England. You can't say deflated footballs didn't give Brady a critical edge in that close playoff game.
Its time for the cheating Patriots to forfeit the Super Bowl.

Bettis was also one of the guys saying Brady should confess....even before the press conference....and was disappointed that he didn't after the conference. So, even though nothing has been proven Bettis and his companions think Brady should just confessGator Fever;n157916 said:They probably will use it as motivation like after spygate when they made it a point to try and drub teams even worse it seemed. I just saw an article where they claimed the fumbles by the Patriots declined big time this season from last season. It wouldn't surprise me if they have been deflating the ball this whole season if that is true what Bettis said about making it much harder to fumble when you can squeeze the ball like that.
