The PATS balls were not kept covered during the first half, the Colts were.
The balls were brought outside to a temperature of 48 degrees from a temperature inside of 71 degrees.

The laws of physics have proven PSI loss to an inflated ball when exposed to cooler temps. The PATS balls were also wet. The dampness further reduces the PSI, as the leather is softer when wet, and will expand more then a dry ball.

When the balls were brought in for testing at halftime, the PATS balls were measured first, all 12. they were inflated back to 12.5.

The Colts only had 4 of their 12 measured, because the officials took much of the 13 minutes they had with the PATS balls.

The laws of physics also prove that PSI will rise in them after 10 minutes of being in a 23 degree warmer temperature.

The PATS balls would have increased as well had they been given the same amount of time, and were dry.

Science proves the PATS balls were 0.004% lower then they should have been based upon beginning PSI, temperature change, and the water on the balls.

Four one hundredths of 1 percent is evidence of tampering?

The NFL should apologize to Brady for charging him guilty.





What the actual game proved is NE's defensive coordinator did his job fantastically.

He found every weakness in the Colts offense, and the PATS exploited it the entire game.

The PATS offensive coordinator did likewise.

Belichick had the team ready physically and mentally.

A similar game this past season was played in the NFC championship game ATL vs GB. GB's defense had 3 key injuries that left a poor soul who runs a 4.7 and giving up 30 lbs., guarding Julio Jones. Ridiculously biased matchup. ATL exploited it the entire game.

The offensive line of GB was also exploited with a weak side rush at Aaron Rodgers, they again didn't have the speed to stop the ATL rush from this side.

The reason the PATS always have a playoff team is the way salaries are structured. Brady makes less then 1/2 of what other highly productive quarterbacks in the league do.

They distribute the money more equally across the board then any other team in the NFL. This allows them to get better players at more positions.

A team full of better then average players will more often then not be able to take advantage of another team who has an average player at his position.

This team also can double team without weakening, if facing an opponent whose has a mis-match in their favor in a position.

This is why the PATS won't let other teams beat them with their best player.

While much focus in the media is put on Brady, Brady himself isn't the only reason the PATS are successful. The PATS are strong at all positions.

The report showed the Pats balls had 2-4 minutes to re-inflate while being taken back inside and that it took 5-7 minutes to remeasure. So by your logic of 10 minutes and the air will be back to normal pressure, the last few balls should have been close to 12.5. Ball number 9, 10 and 11 were 10.95/11.35, 10.5/10.90, 10.90/11.35 respectfully. The two measurements were from the 2 different gauges. So they were off by a full pound or more.

So are you saying that had they waiting....11 minutes, that all their balls would have been back up to 12.5 or very close to it?

Comparing wet vs. dry doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Do you have a link that shows the pats balls were wet, and the colts balls were not? I'm pretty sure all the balls were used by halftime, and that they all were under the same conditions. Even if by some miracle the colts were able to keep the 3 or 4 balls that were tested dry, it wouldn't have made a 1lb difference.
