"Jerry" is having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that the Brady Pats have surpassed his 49ers.

"Illegal curve on hockey stick wins 'em the Stanley Cup!"

The reason they haven't made a big deal out of it, is because it isn't a big deal.

Why don't they have prison sentences for jaywalking?

Yeah, but it's a trade-off. A more inflated ball will travel straighter, and farther. The reason they haven't made a big deal out of it, is because it isn't a big deal.

Right, but there are claims that the Ravens balls were deflated, so their kicks were shortened.

Again, referees are handling these balls, all game long, all season, and never noticed anything. The Ravens kickers/centers had plenty of opportunity to handle the balls they used. And I bet that given a choice, every QB would reject any proposal to not allow them to choose their own balls.

Sorry man, I only speak English...

There will be no Bills fans (including me) laughing, because the Pats have been giving our team televised public wedgy's for a decade. The joke is on us and our team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mdp_yBDeflE

They get more scrutiny because they have been kicking the crap out of the league for over a decade. This is like "Pine tar on the bat won the Yanks the World Series!" I can't wait to listen to Buffalo dudes 10 years from now, listing off reasons why the Patriots really weren't that great..."Yeah, and what about Brady with the deflated balls! I can't respect a team that kicks the crap out of the league for 15 years if the QB was using a deflated ball! They were imposters! That 90's Bills team that lost all those Super Bowls, now those guys were the real deal!". Sad.

So that's the deciding factor? And how do you know that Brady didn't individually arrange for the balls to be deflated? I would think he would pick out the balls himself. Could easily be that only Brady and his "ball boy" knew about it. You think Billy is squeezing all the balls before the game? And the refs are handling the balls ALL GAME LONG (and in EVERY Pats game ever played), and didn't seem to notice anything amiss.

Considering the amount of PED's that are used throughout the league, all this "holier than thou" whining is ridiculous. Rules that impact the play much greater, are being violated by every team. This whining is unbecoming, and a sure indicator of loser fans.

Sullivan's whole shtick is to take the "angry fan's" perspective on ANYTHING. The Packers blew the game. The right team won. I wanted GB to win. I hate the Seahawks.

"Let's change the rules, because the team I wanted to win, lost."

If something that subtle, and easy to get away with, was a significant advantage, it would be (or is) common.

It's clear now that the Bills have just been a few deflated balls short of the playoffs. They could have turned many of these seasons around if they had just deflated the ball for even just half of the games. Coulda, woulda, shoulda... This controversy is gonna turn the NFL into a ball measuring contest.

I hope EJM starts letting some air out of the ball. After that, it's DOMINATION TIME!

Whining won't make the Bills better.

If Lynch wins this Super Bowl, he is likely a Hall of Famer, as long as he doesn't go to prison for doing something terrible first. I understand why he was traded, though he plays with as much heart as any player I've ever seen.

I have a feeling Marrone is better off just staying in the college ranks. MAybe he can rebuild his career there as an HC, and try the NFL again in a few years.

Ugh, The standing buffalo is bad. In white with a red helmet, it would be a notch below the Calgary Stampeders, which at least has a horse galloping.

The Patriots did too. The whole division had white helmets. I liked the red helmets, but the current uniforms look so great. Never liked the grazing buffalo, it needs the stripe and charging. Blue helmets would be interesting...

Incognito was never that good. I can understand (barely) why some might have wanted to bring him in during the season when the O-line struggled so badly. But now, in the off-season, there are a bunch of way better options than bringing in that lunkhead. Are you in some way anxious to cheer for Incognito?

Oh yeah, he is an upgrade for sure! I just think it's odd that people would buy into someone because of a boastful personality. Hue Jackson wanted to "build a bully" too...didn't happen.
