I don't know why you're so bent out of shape over this
I have more to lose on this being a Colts fan than you do.

Here are my facts:

1. - The Colts scored one touchdown. They missed one FG. You don't beat anyone with that kind of scoring game.

2 - They rushed only 83 yards and had only 209 passing yards. You don't beat anyone with that offensive power.

3 - They had a 3 to 1 turnover margin. Unless you're playing the Packers that give up, you rarely win with that TO margin. Ooooo, that's where your fumble stats come in. The Colts never fumbled either. It was a muffed punt where the PR tried to catch it kick with his helmet. And then neck beard Luck threw the ball to two Pat defenders.

4 - The Pats play in a horrible division. With the teams the Jets, Bills, and Fins have had the last decade, the Pats easily make the playoffs each year. This doesn't take away from how good the Pats are because the Colts also don't have a very competitive division too. It just points to the fact that the Pats have a nice road to the playoffs each year trying to win their division.

5 - Where are the refs? They touch the Pat's balls on every play. They also touch the Colt's footballs when they are on offense. Going between fully inflated balls and deflated balls nearly 150 times during the game, especially the referee or umpire position, would give them the best possible method of detecting some sort of foul play. Maybe this is what brought up the whole issue. But the deflated balls really didn't play a role in the outcome of this game because of the first points I made. The Colts offense didn't show up!

6 - You're suggesting years of cheating. Again where were the refs? At least 16 games a year with touching the footballs at least 150 times a game, that's nearly 2,500 times refs have a chance to touch deflated/inflated footballs in a season during Pat games. That at least 7 guys a game. Why can't they detect this? If it's a big enough issue as you suggest to give the Pats an advantage to prevent fumbles, then it's a big enough issue the refs would detect to arrouse suspicion during the regular season.

7 - If they have been cheating all those games, there will be no way to find out if they did. Those games are over and done. The footballs have been reinflated. It's all speculation and doesn't prove a thing about their record. The only thing they can prove is it's a one game cheating situation. And the Colts didn't do a thing to overcome 1.2 PSI.

8 - You've obsessed over this. 95 of your last posts have been in the NFL category mostly regarding this situation. That's the reason for my gif. Let it go, man. The news is obsessing over this because they're selling air time. You have nothing to gain from this. Let it go.
