Ban the Patriots

[1999.2004.2011]

Anybody hear anything about deflategate?

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...-investigation-of-patriots-deflated-footballs

Only one football was deflated below two PSI, the rest were just below 12.5. The investigation is now surrounding the Colts and their role in the whole fiasco. It was a non-story to begin with now that the facts are actually presenting themselves.

Reading this for the first time and yes I'm a NE fan but those first few pages are bat s☆☆t crazy. Patriot haters with an agenda and man I would hate you on my jury. Guilty as charged screw the trial well where are you now with new facts shedding a totally new light. So sorry pat haters you lose again.

So it's looking more and more like the Colts were the ones who doctored the ball. How come no ban the Colts threads?

League outlaws Patriots unbalanced line approach that New England used against Ravens

Also known as the, "John Harbaugh really isn't that good of a coach" rule.

Next on the chopping block are play action passes, draw plays, and QB scrambles.

Lol, good one.

That's okay Belichick has already moved on to the next idea. Hey NFL, please feel free to continue to fight the last war. It worked out so well for the French in WWII.

Don't forget the double reverse and the play fake. Those rely on deception too. Harbaugh wants to know who the ball carrier will be so he can tackle him before he scores.

Today's NFL, where if you lose, whine and get the rules changed.

The irony of this is that, now, no team can use these formations against the Patriots.

More Irony. Your first sentence is the first brick in the road to deflate-gaa....uh (I'm not saying it)

Brady and Manning lobbied to have control over game balls.

It's also why defensive pass interference is called downfield, no matter who initiates incidental contact (Colts - 2004), which is dovetails nicely into a huge part of the Colts' strategy with Andrew Luck's being to throw at least 3 bombs a quarter.

I don't like Belichick. That said, the guys is an egoistical genius who likely know the NFA rulebook better than anyone else on the planet. This will not stop him. He'll find another loophole to gain a different edge.

That USA Today writer was a bit premature back on 1/21/15. Calls for banning, fines, and suspensions are irresponsible before the investigation is complete.

He's a typical media hack just trying to get his name mentioned somewhere.

 

[1999.2004.2011]

When Belichick uses an unconventional method to get results - gaining an edge

When any other coach does the exact same thing - that coach is an innovator

On to #5

If the Patriots won on a fake punt, fake punts would be outlawed.

Not true. That was Olympic Strongman Ken Patera's motto. Why don't you get some facts and get back to us.

I actually viewed Patera saying it first hand.. I didn't have rely on attribution. When have you been right about anything?

Wells Report is out.

They say they have no proof of anything, but Wells blamed it on Brady. Said its probable he knew.

They also said Physics didn't cause it because Physics took a day off.

Bob Kraft responded that the Wells report is crap and that there were 4 Colts balls that were underinflated as well.

My research, which included use of an after market modified DeLorean, tells me you are all wrong!! (said using my John McLaughlin voice).....................the phrase was first used by Gorgeous George in the 50s.

Had no impact on the Pats win over the Colts and Pete Carrol out-coached himself by not giving the ball to Lynch at the 1 yard line; but, the report basically says that Brady lied that he did not know what was going on. Looks like Brady and Bellichick are two peas in a pod when it come to lying. I just don't get it though. The Pats would still likely win without all of this shady stuff and yet they do it anyway.

I found the same page. Prior to looking it up I thought Classy Freddie Blassie said it. Looks like fair game that any heel could have and may have said it, but Gorgeous George gets the initial credit. What little I've seen of him, reminded me of Adrian Adonis from the 80's. But we digress. Back to banning the Pats!!

The title of this thread is a real hoot. Reminds me of a Facebook post I saw demanding that the entire franchise be dissolved and a dispersal draft be held over the summer.

Balls were around 1 PSI lighter (how TERRIBLE) and the reports completely exonerate the coach and owner. Definitely a ban for the organization...the ignorance
