Someone is defensive. We don't know what the weight was, OR the actual pressure. Reports have just said both weight and pressure were off.
I was talking about this specific situation
The weight was off? Was it now? What exactly is the weight difference between the balls? Please provide the actual measurements.
Temperature of the object can affect the weight. It doesn't apply in this case but there's a reason you were told to not weigh a hot object in Chem lab.
And he wouldn't do anything without being told. But Bellicheat will throw him, his family, and his dog under the bus before he'll take responsibility. Classy.
Technically they beat "scared Rodgers and the Packers doing everything they could to lose that game" twice.
Other than that, no one I guess. They might as well concede the game to that guy who hasn't won a superbowl since Bush was popular. What are they even doing there? Can we talk about Tommy's soft balls some more?
Feels like footballs being underinflated by 2 psi gets more media attention in America than a terrorist attack in Paris. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Bam Bam looks pretty healthy. Sherman would be the guy who would be least likely to defend those short pass plays anyway.Brady is the undisputed master of the short, "get it out quick" passing game, he will not seek to launch the ball deep down-field very often if at all, the question is can the Hawks limit the yards after the catch with a banged-up secondary?.

Those are all wonderful points. I remember similar things being said of the Broncos last year . Who were also favored, by the way. I think the Seahawks finished stronger, and they win when they have to. And none of their losses were by much. Additionally, the Patriots have racked up an identical record to Seattle, against weaker defenses.Yes, Rodgers palyed scared the first game and the team played not to lose the 2nd. Do you think Belichick in that position (situational football) would have lost that game?
Again, who have they played and looked like an #1 Ranked NFL team this year? Overtime against Broncos at home. Overtime against Packers at home. Lost to the Chargers, Lost to the Chiefs and lost to the COwboys. In fact the last 6 games they were on their magical run. They feasted on the likes of Arizona 2x (3rd String quarterback), St. Louis (Sean Hill.. need I say more?), SF (One read Kaepernick), and the Eagles (Butt Fumble Sanchez).
I really think the Seahawks are running more on reputation than anything now. And they should have been exposed last week.
Honestly, Seattle doesn't even make it out of the NFC if the Cardinals hadn't lost their #2 quarterback, let alone Carson Palmer.
Not sure why anyone has Seattle winning this game. What real quarterbacks have they beaten this season (outside scared Rodgers and the Packers doing everything they could to lose that game).

East coast bias doesn't win championships, defense does. And it will again. Those who say they're weaker this year on defense are showing their lack of knowledge. Look at the numbers.
So I'll say it's a tight game at the half, maybe a Patriots lead. But the Hawks will knuckle down and pull it out in the second half.
And Lynch fined 20k for grabbing his junk again. But deflating balls and knocking out your girlfriend is A-Ok. Haven't figured out why the NFL has it out for him. How much money has Beast Mode made them? Ridiculous. :thumbsdown:

Whats interesting is the fact that theyre selling NFC Champion prints that feature a photo of the groin grab in the bottom left corner for $149.95.
Are you high?
Russell Wilson is currently 10-0 against superbowl-winning QB's.
last year: "Not sure why anyone has Seattle beating Denver!"

I think Seattle is as good as they were last year. It just happened that the AFC champion was weak. Denver's defense couldn't stop an offense built on efficiency, and that allowed Seattle's D to keep Denver out of the game. I don't think that will happen this year. NE won't simply rely on Brady throwing 5+ TDs to win games against opponents that can score.
This farce about "Russell Wilson is 10-0 against Superbowl winning QBs" is what I call a Romo stat. It takes a small subset of data and tries to make a conclusion about it. I'm sure every game after he has chicken wings on Wednesday before and the humidity is above 40%, Wilson completes every third down throw between 7 and 9 yards when the ball travels less than 45ft in the air and the opponent has on Lycra underpants!
I picked Seattle to win but would hardly be surprised if NE takes it.
And although I respect the Seahawk's for taking advantage of what they were given there's no way to say the Packers didn't hand them that game last weekend on a silver platter.
You mean the SeaHawks Defense are 10-0 against Super bowl Wining QB's. Not taking anything away from Russell Wilson, but I think he is a product of Seattle's Defense. Unfortunately NE isn't the other teams they've played. If you have a chance watch NE's last two playoff games and compare that to Seattle's last two playoff games.
I don't believe this Seattle team is as good as the Seattle team of last year.

totally agree
I think Wilson is perfect for that team for many reasons, but I also don't think it was just that defense doing his work for him. Marshawn Lynch has been far more valuable to Wilson than has his defense. Plus, he and the Seahawks have already beaten Brady, so there aren't many secrets there (Well, until Belichik comes out of his cave with yet another rule-bending tactic )
I do think NE is playing much better right now, but I think you are ignoring how good Seattle has been at the beginning of the season, and from the midway point on. They are at least as good as they were last year, if not better, imo. Comparing NE against a middling Colts team to Seattle against GB--recall that they were the best team in the league at the midpoint before a few injuries--doesn't make a lot of sense. Seattle also took apart that team at the beginning of the season.
Seattle couldn't beat a crippled Aaron Rodgers without a total GB meltdown.
And I'll ask you this. The last 8 games what team has Seattle Played that you could say offensively rivaled NE? In fact what good quarterbacks have Seattle played the last 8 weeks outside of a crippled Rodgers?
Actually, not true. The Broncos had the weakest Strength of Schedule last year. Basically they played a lot of terrible teams. And look what happened in the SuperBowl.
My argument is not based on bias. I explicitly explained why I thought the Seahawks were overrated. Why don't you try disputing the fact that they haven't really played anyone the last 8 weeks outside of the Packers last week who should have beat them.
