Jolot Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Suspending anyone for the super bowl is unrealistic and will never happen....the move here is a one year suspension next year...nothing else is acceptable , nobody can convince me that what Sean Peyton did was worse , Peyton's suspension was about ignoring the commissioners orders to stop doing what they were doing it wasn't about player safety .....belichick had already been caught cheating once ( that we know of ) ..and ignored the commish the same way Peyton did....he's gotta get a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetfan13 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 What do you think the NFL is going to do? Ban Belichick for life, suspend Brady for the Super Bowl and force Kraft to sell the team? we can only hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphtrilogy_8577 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I think it's fair to say we will now look at this patriots belicheat and Brady era as the McGuire and Sosa era, and everything that they have done should basically be ignored. Best thing for the patriot fans right now, is that they clean house and try to rebuild some integrity, but virtually 0 chance with that ownership as we all know it always starts at the top. I feel bad for the real New England fan who actually cares about integrity, this has to be more crushing than the Green Bay fan loss this weekend. *Tainted era.

ghost_in_pads02 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 All those hours...years of hard work for Tom Brady, down the tubes. **** you guys. I wouldn't say it hinders Brady's legacy cause you still have to preform (although we know what will be said). BUT it does give anyone n everyone the right to question everything about them. It was pretty stupid n petty as I said before if it's found to be true. Just dumb, especially the fact the balls were removed before halftime and you came out the sec. Half and destroyed them... Just makes a me smh. But ehhh until further notice "Onto Seattle" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rillo Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 They won't even lose that much. My favorite (I say that with all due sarcasm) theory is that the Pats will be awarded the Jets' #6 pick for the Woody tampering comments but then lose their own #31 or #32 pick due to this scandal. They'd be "punished" by the NFL for cheating and still manage to move up 25-26 spots in the draft. Damn, I wouldn't be surprised. This should've happened the year of spygate, but the NFL decided to take their lower pick. Again, I wouldn't be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets1958 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 The press is turning on NE. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/01/21/how-the-new-england-patriots-became-the-nfls-least-trusted-team/ "No team in the NFL is given less benefit of the doubt than the New England Patriots. Retired players still fume over long-past Super Bowls they claim the Patriots won through acts of duplicity. Football stalwarts dream up nicknames for coach Bill Belichick, who will soon lead the Patriots into another Super Bowl — “Belicheat,” Don Shula calls him. And big time columnists continue to plunk down voluminous dispatches that enumerate the Patriots’ many alleged transgressions. These are the New England Patriots: the NFL’s least-trusted team. It now appears that designation is more warranted than ever. On Tuesday night, ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, long the NFL’s go-to writer for scoops,reported the NFL determined that 11 of the 12 balls the Patriots used during Sunday’s beat down of the Indianapolis Colts were suspiciously deflated, raising questions as to how that happened and whether the Patriots had an unfair competitive advantage. One individual told Mortensen that the league, which spent a good amount of Tuesday looking into the matter, was “disappointed … angry … distraught.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I have an idea!!! Why don't we all pretend that we are Patriots fans and instead of using all the same old "he's a scumbag" "Pats Cheat" the stuff we've all been saying about them for years now, why don't we put down replies DEFENDING the insignificance of these latest unsubstantiated rumours and accusations?

Its A Set up ! LOSERS !!!!! Lynn Zemaitis Exactly! Plus....how do deflated balls account for the fact that the colts couldn't figure out how to line up, or that Blount ran through them like they weren't even there. Jeeze. Bill DeForge Also, could people STFU about "spygate" and the "tuck rule" already?! Anthony LoMonaco Give the Colts two touchdowns and take away two Patriot touchdowns for the violation. What's that? Patriots still win? Okay case closed. George DeStratis the hell with em all just seen. it on the news. .eithet wsy we smoked em no one can prove sh*t and cpld does affect air in balls tires ect .so lets all bask in our glory we have the greatest QB And coach in history. i guess there trying too piss us off let em Seattle will b embarrassed. cause patriots. wiill come out with a vengeance too prove a point.

nycdan Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Total speculation here: To me, the 12th ball at normal pressure feels like a case of "keep one legit so if the refs start getting suspicious we can put that one in" to me, which only makes this worse. Back to our regularly scheduled biased opinion... I heard some talking heads on the radio this morning trying to paint around this with comments like "if it was so bad, why didn't the refs notice it sooner" and "Aaron Rodgers said he likes the balls overinflated so how could this be that much of an advantage". Typical duck and cover broadcasting. They were then trying to liken it to something similar in baseball but completely (IMO) missed the obvious one. Corked bats. In both cases, official game equipment has been modified in a way supposedly to give one side an advantage (I'm ignoring pine tar for that reason...it doesn't even help the batter...just keeps balls clean). In MLB, corked bats result in suspensions. Not next season, but immediately. NFL is not MLB but if you are looking for parallels, that's a good place to start.
