That was one of the most entertaining playoff games in a while. Down to the last second I didn't feel like I had any clue who was going to win. Especially since Belachik did some head scratching clock management in the last two minutes.

Nah, it was a good peformance. Just a stupid call at the end that didn't even need to happen in the first place.

Still a good season, glad we were able to turn it on in the playoffs a bit. But my hopes weren't up because of the regular season in the first place.

Wow, that's got to be one of the worst playoff losses ever. Packers had the Seahawks dead to rites. Russell Wilson looked like Blaine Gabbert for the first 55 mins of the game.

To lose like that has got to hurt...bad.

Both teams looked terrible. Same with the Colts tonight. Makes me even more salty about losing last week seeing the current competition...

 

[Jammin]

I think Cowboy fans are the ones who should really be cursing fate. Watching that game it seemed really apparent that the better team did not win last week. And they even have a BS rule to point to.

Though I think the Seahawks are probably better than they played today if the Cowboys had played in this game I feel like they would have almost certainly won.

 

[FrostyMouse]

Bring on the SB.

Sorry, I'll never sympathize with Cowboys fans

screw the pack...they get enough love/glory without winning championships.
I wonder what the front office is talking about...McCarthey,we know it's not Rodgers

Wow, cheating allegations and Patriots mentioned in the same sentence...shocking

Salty, salty Ravens fan. We don't actually know if anything happened. The news report came from Jim Irsay's media mouthpiece, who wants to deflect away from Luck and the Colts getting destroyed. Due to Spygate, people are willing to instantly believe that the Pats must cheat every season.

Even if there was something wrong (and don't forget that the refs touch the ball every play and have the right to throw out any ball that they think feels off during the game), it will not change a 45-7 result.

Of course it won't change it, and that's a good thing. The story is the ref checked a ball during the game and it was obviously deflated.

Salty? Hm, not sure. But it is indeed fun that this keeps popping up over and over.

Here's the best explanation of the story I've gotten so far, which is clearer than the original report we'd gotten. http://espn.go.com/boston/nfl/story/_/id/12198323/indianapolis-colts-interception-led-question-whether-new-england-patriots-deflated-balls

As opposed to deflating a Colts' ball, if any ball was deflated, it was ours. Anyway, there was another play where a kicking ball was still on the field and the Pats pointed it out and the ref removed it.

So? The allegation is that the Patriots were deflating the balls...that's a benefit, not a disadvantage. A deflated ball is easier to catch, especially in heavy rain.

The original accusation we heard was that we'd screwed with the Colts' balls.

I don't think it really matters. Both teams bring balls, but everyone uses the same ones.

No, they don't. Each team has their own set of balls and then there's another set of balls that's used solely for the kicking game.
