May Day 10

that was funny. Like a skit or something.... OK I figured it out and spent the past week researching and testinh. We didn't do anything illegal. Im not a scientist but it was x y and z. Ill answer some questions and we are going to be completely open and cooperatve. WHY DID YOU ASK ME ABOUT THAT? BALLS ARENT IMPORTANT IM NOT A SCIENTIST!

It's gaming the rules. It's not football imo. It is currently legal but it needs to be patched up.

The nfl will wait it out. Next week and the superbowl will dull it out and it will be fashionable to not care. The nfl findings will be vague enough and they control enough media and information where they will be able to control the narratives. Enough fodder will be provided to the innocent until belichick is on film measurably cheating with fingerprints and eye scans. The everybody dies it crowd. And the who cares everybody should try to cheat to win crowd. Oh yeah the it's only football crowd. It'll go aeay. Not much will come of it. We are all basically a captive audience. We know it. They know it. I just wonder what is up behind closed doors. What do the other owners say? They likely have more information than we do and are overall very wise. They also have more to lose than we do. Doesn't pegula stand up and say we are in a 4 team division with these guys and if things aren't on the up and up, our franchise has been in 15 years of darkness possibly do to cheating? Is there some things we can and should be doing to even the playing field and will the nfl have our back like they do the pats?

the 2nd half of the page adjusts for total fumbles, not just fumbles lost.

Hmmm. If the Bills employed this, Bryce Brown doesn't fumble and the Bills make the playoffs.

so it was ISIS?

this isnt ISIS.

I cant believe the Pats are letting him get clobbered like this

Like come on. There are like 1000 reporters ruining Tom Brady's day and its on nearly every news network. This is my Super Bowl

he is getting flustered, lol. I love it

rogue equipment guy deflating all the balls

all pointing that way

pre-scripted

crises like this are what he does though and its been well handled. Itll go away and nobody will care by next week, yet everyone will watch

yup. leaks before. Report after probably before close of business. very well played by the NFL and Pats It will be forgotten by Tuesday

yup. Just like Spygate, itll be fashionable to put it behind you. The media will fall into line.

yup. The NFL NEEDS this to go away just like when the star runningback knocked his wife out cold

yeah. They will say he pushes the 12.5 limit just like Rodgers and 13.5.... Then they will play dumb. Meanwhile the NFL will find something a little off with the testing maybe... maybe a "screwup" by New England's equipment staff... and also attribute some to the temperature change. It will all be gray and no big deal. Brady will still be squeaky clean as well as the Pats and the Super Bowl

they are working hard to isolate this to only Brady and whoever handles the balls... and making sure it appears Belichick and other players were not aware... big l.o.l. I really hope the media doesnt lap that bill of goods up. The motivation for the Pats to do this is to deflect attention from the perception of the systemic culture of cheating. You think Blount, the Center, Edelman, Gronk, etc had no clue if a linebacker had the ball for like 5 seconds and knew?

^^^ exactly what everyone is angling for

my 2 year old has it figured out that the amount of air inside balls is a major variable. I would be willing to bet the "greatest football mind of this era' is at least mildly aware of that?

maybe the equipment guy switched it out without Marchawn knowing?

I despised Ryan at first, but after he toned down the WWF personality a bit (even then I remember saying I wish the Bills had a coach like that), he grew on me. Im on record here saying a number of times this year (as early as week 5) that he would be a perfect fit. With Belechick comes cheating perception. Along with my dislike for him, there would always be that shred of questionablity that would come if the bills won a title. I dont want that. You would also have a HC that has so much legacy elsewhere and a title in Buffalo would be a footnote, not the pinnacle
