Pats

[Clogston29]

we have heard that the refs checked the pressure at half time with two gages. the question is, did they check them before the game in the same way. I have not heard that (anyone?). that's all I really want to know. if the balls weren't checked with gages pregame, then the half time readings are meaningless and baring some really concrete evidence, its on the league and refs for allowing under inflated balls into the game. if they were checked and documented both pregame and half time, burden of proof shifts to the pats IMO.

Agree, unless they have actual readings for individual balls they can compare to halftime data, or video evidence there's no there there.
