Not worried at all. I just want to be sure that when the Pats punch the Seahawks in the mouth, that the Pats could have gone back to back again, if Denver hadn't cheated last year in the AFC Championship.

Pack will definitely be back next year. As long as there are no more f^cked up debacles they do to themselves...
 
I give the reporter credit. I can't remember the last time I heard ANY reporter whether sports or world news related listen and have an intelligent response. Normally it's canned preparing for the next written question. Must have been one of those punk high school reporters.
 
If you can unpack 11 footballs, deflate each one by two lbs, repack them into the bag and leave a bathroom in 90 seconds, Finsfan will blow you.

Fin! Was this you?!?

Gersh Kuntzman of the New York Daily News performed a more organized test, taking 12 balls that had been inflated to 13 PSI and removed two PSI in a total of 40 seconds. Adding in the time necessary to open the bag and to access the balls and to enter and exit the bathroom, the exercise took 77 seconds.

Kuntzman isn’t the only one who has done it. One highly-placed official with an NFL team “took the top off” a dozen balls in a mere 56 seconds.

“Next time I’m gonna pee as well,” the source said.
 
It's a billion dollar business. I'm sure you could buy something for under $50 to deflate a ball within a second to a desired pressure in under that time. I think it would be just as easy to find out a way of conditioning that balls to make it drop in temperature change.
 
now there is a baltimore resident that has over 40,000 signatures on a petition to replay afc championship between colts and ravens

http://www.barstoolsports.com/bosto...low&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=socialflow

It is sad the fans of these two teams need a petition to try and get their team to the SB.

Pats vs Ravens - The problem with this game was the ineligible WRs. It is too bad your coach couldn't listen to the announcement that there was an ineligible WR and don't cover him. If you can't figure it out, take a time out. That was fair game, deal with it.

Pats vs Colts - "Deflategate". If found guilty, sure fine the Pats what you deem necessary. If not found guilty, we will leave it at that. This had no effect on the game. If it makes the Colts fans feel any better, we can take away the 17 points scored in the first half and still win 28-7.
 
I can't believe you fckuing ******* are still talking about this.

Seriously... grow a fckuing penis.

"Ewwww. You can actually do it in under 90 seconds!!!!! And my vagina is all drippy over it!!!"

What a gigantic fckuing group of pusseis.
 
Not sure if I can post before gameday. To my butthurt counterparts, yesterday was just me trying to get a little more mileage out of making fun of the Pats. I genuinely wish fans of both teams all the luck on Sunday, and I'm hoping to see a good game.

I also don't think deflategate is anything....other then funny.
 
This is pretty interesting... Deadspin explains why Those Statistics About the Patriots' Fumbles are Mostly Junk

In short, statistics can be made to say pretty much whatever you want. Especially if you treat them badly.

The analysis is so much more credible then it's defense. They decry the use of all caps and claim that 2 fumbles on the road for the Vikings is 1/3rd of the Patriots home fumbles...which...was...zero.

The Y axis critique totally ignores the concept of a normal distribution curve, and the Pats results are 3 standard deviations out. I'm not on about deflategate right now, but the data is compelling. If I were a Pats fan I'd stop trying to shot a hole in it and instead present it as evidence they are the most well coached team in history when it comes to ball handling. JMHO.
 
It just gets really fckuing old.... And 99% of it is NOT busting balls. A huge percentage of fckuing morons out there BELIEVE this shti.

I get that and I get your frustration. But I assure you I WAS just bustin' balls. Sorry if I turned the screws a bit too much. I sincerely laugh at all the deflategate coverage. Honestly? I think the referee who measured the balls screwed up and now the league is scrambling to cover itself in the face of public outcry.

You know we're rivals and I'm gonna always seize on stuff like this, but in the realm of the real world. Ball deflation is a joke subject when the Pats blew out the Colts the way they did.

This is a very good possibility. If this happened or if the Pats really did it, it is going to be hard to prove either way. I'm glad to see the media turn their attention to the SB during this week.

How much of the analysis did you even read? Get to the caps comment (which I admit was kind of dumb) and just tune out?

They pointed out not that the Vikings fumbled 2 times bs the Pats 0, but bs the Pats 6. It's been written and discussed over and over again that recovering fumbles is usually a matter of luck. The pats were fortunate and recovered all 6 of theirs, the Vikings were less fortunate and recovered neither of theirs. The point still stands, the Pats put the ball on the ground 3x more than he Vikings did. But it doesn't support the initial analysis, so it was ignored.

And as the article pointed out, the plays/fumble metric that is being looked at doesn't take into account any context about the type of plays called. And looking across all teams isn't even a star that fits a bell curve anyway. Weirdly, the converse stat, fumbles/play, does fit such a curve. And by whatever trick of math (see: stats can say whatever you want) that stat shows the Pats on the top of the charts again, but not by an implausible amount.

The whole of that article in fact does seem to suggest that they're a well coached team, and not some statistical impossibility. You just have to, you know, read the damn thing.

I read it all. How much of my post did you read? There's a way out here, but trying to tell us data 3 standard deviations out isn't compelling -isn't it.
 
But the point of the article (one of them) was that the 3 standard deviations thing was a made up, crap figure based on bad stats as input, and bad assumptions about the results as output. Garbage in, even worse garbage out.
 
Rodgers didn't throw a pick at home. CHEATER!

Backed by stats, sweet graph to follow. (where the hell did I put my crayons and ruler?)

It's got room for more examination, like every study ever done. But it most certainly does not tell us that the 3 standard deviation thing is made up. Yeah, I read it.

Your teams fumble record is phenomenal, and its compelling, no matter how you present the data. What you attribute it too is really up to you.
 
And that one's even less ambiguous than the fumbles thing.

Pats didn't lose a fumble at home. Sure they dropped the ball 6 times, and were lucky enough to have a teammate fall on it each time. But they didn't lose a fumble, so they must be cheaters! Couldn't possibly be a disciplined team who doesn't drop the ball often and got lucky those times they did.

While Rodgers doesn't throw a pick at home - something that involves very little luck, and no qualifiers. Just an a self-admittedly over inflated ball or two snuck by the refs. And probably a couple DPI non-calls that went his teams way... But he's just a great QB, amirite?
