Deflated Balls in Seattle Last Night??


Recommended Posts

STRAYhawks? SCAMhawks?

Deflated balls would kick shorter, not longer, than fully inflated balls. There have been studies done on the subject of kick height and distance.

There's no way that's true. The fully inflated balls are as hard as a rock. Try and kick a fully inflated ball and then try and kick one with some air taken out. It will be like a kickball and go flying. That's why you see kickers try and smoosh the ball before kicking off, so it's not completely stiff Edited by kdiggz

Have you ever kicked an inflated and a non-inflated soccer ball? The inflated one is going further every time...

 

And kickers rough up the balls because the NFL K balls are super slippery, not because they're stiff.

Are we desperate enough to start posting links from mouth breathing Patriot supporters?! Tomasi is a goon, that MikefromWoburn Twitter remark is another goon who sits around and calls local sports radio shows all day. The Bills played a good game and came up short!!! No reason to mingle with the devil to find solace.

Im not sure. There may be a fine line. Too much air and its too heavy/hard. Too little air and that ball isnt going anywhere. Slightly deflated, just right. Like the three little bears. Lol

I think its all in good fun. Im not justifying our loss im not even coming close to that point. Something to lighten up the mood around here is all.
