The Colts Are Gutless Cowards
So the new spin on this story is that the Colts had suspicions about underinflated balls the first time we beat them by a billion points in Indy. They sat on this info waiting to say something in the future. In their minds a playoff game was the perfect time to drop a dime. The refs examined the balls at half time and reinflated them. The Pats promptly outscored the Colts a 73-0 in the 2nd half. So here is my question. If you really thought deflating balls made a difference why wouldn’t you say something sooner? That way the league could say something to the Pats “Like Hey Bill getting complaints about deflated balls make sure they have enough air in them. We’re gonna spot check, blah, blah blah” That way if you think it makes any difference in the outcome you can ensure a level playing field in the most important game of the year.
But rather than do that the Colts risked playing at a disadvantage. Why? The answer is twofold. 1. Deflated balls don’t make a lick of difference and #2 the Colts knew they had no shot beating us anyway. This was their only weapon. Not to win on the field, but to tattle on us after the fact. That’s how pathetic they are. They just did it because that’s what kids who get shoved in lockers do. They can’t stand up to us on the field so they wait till there are tucked safely in their beds in Indy to open their mouths. They hate us cause they ain’t us.
