Patriots, am I the only one...

If Brady wants the ball at 12.5 psi it was a disadvantage for the lower psi. Maybe that is why he went 9-9 when he got the deflated ball in the third qtr. cant't believe Brunell on everything he says. He also said he like his balls at 13 psi. Why not 12.5 if the lower psi was better to grip. Brunell has an agenda.

What's Brunnels agenda? Just curious.

Brunell has an agenda, but Brady, Belichick, and the Patriots organization doesn't.

Right.

It's got nothing to do with the Colts. No one thinks the Colts would have won, but there are rules in place and that Pats broke one. There should be a penalty, and then we should all move on.

No one knows if they actually "broke" anything. But sure, let's light the bonfires now.

Perhaps... Brady's mistake was going too far in slapping the rule book in the Ravens' face after Belichek made Harbaugh look bad. Game balls were submitted to his liking, on the soft side just like Rogers tries to do but on the hard side. Refs approved them by feel without using a gauge. During a closely contested first half , Harbaugh makes a call knowing what kind of balls the Pats like to use(to the NFL or Colts). NFL responds by making a proper check, finds the balls underinflated, re-inflates to proper pressure then the Pats come out and destroy the Colts. Don't hear much from the Colts because they get blown out using properly inflated balls.
Harbaugh is sitting back and really enjoying watching everyone on the Pats squirm. Pats get fined 25k for using underinflated
balls, no proof is found that anyone deflated the balls after their initial approval and the NFL looks bad for not properly checking their pressure. Relationships are cemented in contempt. Move on.

Stop. There are no bonfires being lit, outside of a few Pats fans that seem to feel so offended about this. God allmighty, they got caught doing what half the league probably does. Take the hit, move on and worry about something important, like the Super Bowl. Good lord if you don't like being scrutinized pull for some losing team. No one cares about anything they do. I just can't understand getting so riled up about this.
