So what do you guys/gals think about the NE Patriots and deflated footballs?   For Whatever it is worth, I think the game with the colts would have been the same outcome even if the balls were "properly" inflated.  Having said that cheating is cheating I guess weather it be on purpose of by accident.  Certainly is in golf anyway but we'll await the decisions to see what it means in the NFL, if anything.

Didn't both teams play with the exact same footballs? One team scored 45, and the other 7 is the real reason people are whining... The video recording was complete cheating but this one is reaching...

No, they don't use the same balls.  Check out the other thread where this has been discussed in (excruciating?) detail. :beer:

I'm confused, sounds like you are too... What are you saying? how can they use different balls? 11 of 12 were under deflated... So patriots used the one ball on offense??

No, what he is saying is the pats have 12 balls and the colts have 12 balls.. You only get the other teams ball when there is a turnover.

So... what is the advantage? Patriots brought this nonsense on themselves cheating with video cameras years ago... This is stupid.

I don't understand.. You mean what is the advantage of deflating balls? It is a matter of prefrence of the QB that's all.

Just going to lock this thread. Normally it would make sense to make a separate thread for this, but there are already so many posts in the NFL thread it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. @dsc123 posted the link to the thread above.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
