If the Pats do not hold the balls that are used for play , I agree that this is a ridiculous charge
At this point I am going to wait until Monday or Tuesday to see what the NFL says...Kravitz needs to clarify if this was the play he was talking about or if there were other plays that this happened on...

Yeah.. you've posted this link 3 times now. Isn't the accusation that the Pats deflated footballs after they were checked by the officials ? Are you saying this this if happened is not a violation of the rules ? What I'm reading the accusation to mean is the Pats sent a ball that appeared deflated in for play. The officials most certainly threw it out if they thought was missing air and asked for another. Kravitz must be implying that this happened more than once and it's suspicious and will be investigated. That said . I would think it would be very hard to prove and nothing will come of it. Now if you want to explain why what you posted completely dispels possible cheating by a team noted for it feel free...
You keep saying the Patriots sent the ball, the ball guy is an NFL employee, not a Patriots employee.

Anyways, they are making this out of nothing...

I know the rules about the ball without needing to read the post.
Balls are tested prior to the game and approved on by both teams. Each team can bring a set if they want, but the official balls will be approved by both teams and the referees. I think it's a dozen, correct? These balls are then marked, for identification reasons, by the referees.
These balls are then supervised by the home team during the game. It is the home teams responsibility for distribution and upkeep during the game.
So my question to you is, if the dozen balls were approved, and qualified the approved standards by the refs. One must assume these balls were fine. So then if anything happens to them after how is it not the home teams fault? They are responsible for the balls.
- "The home club shall have 36 balls for outdoor games and 24 for indoor games available for testing with a pressure gauge by the referee two hours prior to the starting time of the game to meet with League requirements. Twelve (12) new footballs, sealed in a special box and shipped by the manufacturer, will be opened in the officials’ locker room two hours prior to the starting time of the game. These balls are to be specially marked with the letter "k" and used exclusively for the kicking game."

The above happened after a kickoff...

I guess its obligatory to post this too when making such thread: http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/rulebook/pdfs/5_2013_Ball.pdf
Someone should RT this to Kravitz...he forgets to read it before making allegations.
-
Home team is responsible for the balls. How would it not be their fault?
Before commenting read the whole section, its not too long I promise.

If the pats are guilty that makes this loss even more painful.
That Pats would not be at fault, read the rulebook link I just posted...and this only happened after the kickoff.

Good game, you guys are young and will only be better next year!
-
I mean...Onside kick, omfg 2pt conversion somehow and then a clutch game ending drive in OT....Seahawks have all the stars aligned again this year....
Their D-Line has not been able to get to Rodgers, but that's credit to the GB O-Line...
-
It was sad...GB did 0, nothing in the second half...they had the chance to shut this game down...they played too conservative and that's why it costed them the game...
-
CHOKE OF THE YEAR!
-
Mathis. That guy would be a beast with Jones.
-
It would be very stupid of them letting him go.
He is the reason why Tony Romo didn't have as many turnovers as they had in previous years...without the run game it will be back to the old Dallas Cowboys.
-
None.
However Jason Taylor said there's a chance he could go to the Cardinals.
Do the Cardinals even have cap space to sign Manning? I mean they give a huge contract to Palmer unless they can void it...
-
I am sure if he doesn't get what he wants, I am sure Minnesota will make a run for him.
-
If this is confirmed then its truly sad...
-
There is no way GB is beating Seattle.
That defense is going to kill that Offensive Line and Rodgers!
-
As a Pats fan I was more worried about Denver than the Colts...with that said I don't expect the Colts game to be easy.
You guys secondary is definitely playing better than the last time we played, and with Arthur back in the lineup the run game will not be as easy as the first game.
Gray and Blount will be fresh for this game, we definitely need the run game to get going.
Also your offensive line schooled Denver, one of the better D-Lines in the league could not even touch Andrew tonight. For the Patriots, I highly doubt we will get any pressure on Luck, our pass rush has not been there. I think BB puts the game on the hands of Luck and make him throw the ball 45+ times and hope for few turnovers.
BB will do his best to take away TY and with Revis on him and then take away Lucks TE...
The only way I see the Colts win this game is if they have a good run game and Nicks plays out of his mind.
-
Well he is a stud...he was the #1 guy in NY for a short while...then lost his ways.
Looks like things have finally started working out for him...
-
If the Colts win this game by a miracle, I will sell my soul to white and blue and become a die hard bandwagon fan. Anything to stop Seattle from repeating.
Its gonna be hard for any AFC teams to beat Seattle, that defense is scary good...they have peaked at the right time...
I would be surprised if Seattle doesn't repeat.
Also a banged up Rodgers is not gonna go up in Seattle and win.

I guess you and most other Pats do feel that way. I think it's funny.
Well he is a defensive mastermind and he will make the bills defense that much better. I think the Bills would be a much better place for Rex than the Jets...he still needs a qb since Orton retired.
-
lets face it, we will be in the same positon with Luck as we were with Manning

The guy is 25 and he has improved every single year since coming into this league... every year he has taken his team further, without him you would not be in this position to begin with.
All he really needs is more play makers around him...on both sides of the ball.
The Colts are going to be better next year, I am sure they will have a good draft and address their defense now that their O-Line is looking better.
