Fadingpain Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 A while ago I joked that a viable option here for the NFL would be to simply do nothing. Just ignore the entire situation and eventually everyone will forget about the cheating. I didn't think they'd actually do NOTHING. Is anyone from the NFL ever going to deliver a ruling in this case?

BRH Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 It will get swept under the rug. Especially now that the Patriots actually won the Superbowl. Had they lost I think you would've saw the league come down on them. Sadly, I am afraid this is exactly what will happen. They will find a way to soft-pedal everything and Goodell will probably apologize per Kraft's demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 LOOK: In Brazil, Tom Brady is 'Gisele Bundchen's Husband' LMAO That must be a nice change for him, considering that in the US he's know as "Gisele Bundchen's Wife." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 the point is they got caught. will you be as adamant that cheating is cheating and anyone that does it is a bunch of cheating cheaters that need the book thrown at them as harshly as possible if the bills are accused?

hondo in seattle Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 will you be as adamant that cheating is cheating and anyone that does it is a bunch of cheating cheaters that need the book thrown at them as harshly as possible if the bills are accused? If someone on the Bills staff deflated balls, I'd expect a slap on the wrist. But the Bills don't have Spy-Gate in their past nor a reputation as a team that pushes the limits. Clearly, a lot of anti-Patriot vitriol is jealousy. While some teams just want to win one Super Bowl and would really be content just to get to the playoffs, it's tough to watch the Patriots own their division and collect multiple SB rings. Nonetheless, the context of the deflated balls makes a difference. The Pats are not first-time offenders. Josh Gordon's offense was minor. He drank some alcohol on a plain ride. But his penalty is harsh because of the pattern he's developing. I personally think the same logic should be applied here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) will you be as adamant that cheating is cheating and anyone that does it is a bunch of cheating cheaters that need the book thrown at them as harshly as possible if the bills are accused? every team takes what advantage they can. Crown noise is cheating but IMO less serious than tampering with a football IF in fact it lowers their chances of fumbling. Hiding their face when calling in signals .... done every game because that's what all teams do. genius or not using seldomly used formations then running it again illegally (on purpose) is stretching it to far. And YES, if the Bills did it and got caught I'd trash them too. I would also expect the NFL to be harsher on the Bills that the Cheatriots based on history yes, it could be jealousy, or envy. but enough is enough Edited February 4, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalftimeAdjustment Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 If the story is now that just one ball was significantly deflated, why would the NFL not have made a more direct statement about that fact earlier? Ridiculous. But this is probably how it is going to go... Soon they will blame the Colts equipment manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) according to coy wire, who played for buffalo, says the Bills players were actively involved in Bountygate with greg williams, but escaped punishment. according to matt leinart, who played for buffalo, says every QB, including himself (except for kurt warner), tampers with the ball. i've been at bills home games where it sure sounds like they were piping in crowd noise. some cheerleaders claim the bills cheated them out of wages. the bills have been cheating their fans for years... numerous players suspended for cheating with ped's Edited February 4, 2015 by papazoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because reporters rush to distribute information, often incorrectly, doesnt mean the nfl MUST jump to respond to every bad report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they bring balls into the game that are not up to NFL standards? he was discussing "everyone does it" in reply to the pats story. i dont think he meant scuffs the ball as that is both legal, and the point of letting teams handle the balls early... but saying that everyone has pressures they like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 according to coy wire, who played for buffalo, says the Bills players were actively involved in Bountygate with greg williams, but escaped punishment. according to matt leinart, who played for buffalo, says every QB, including himself (except for kurt warner), tampers with the ball. i've been at bills home games where it sure sounds like they were piping in crowd noise. I don't consider Bountygate cheating. Wrong, but not cheating. Matt Leinart played half a preseason game for the Buffalo Bills, doesn't count. You're just making baseless claims.
