Finally nailing the refs and NFL - DeflateGate timeline

[ivotuk]

A deflated ball is easier for receivers to catch, but also easier for defenders. It's a wash.

Not quite. The QB has the advantage of handling the ball on every offensive down. That's why the QB deflated it, to give himself the advantage when throwing the ball more accurately. That means placing the ball on the WR's side, away from the DB, who is usually a DB because he has stone hands.

The DB does not have the opportunity to intercept a pass as often as a WR has the option to catch a pass.

A key factor in a decision to deflate footballs is that a football with less air pressure is less likely to be fumbled. The Patriots record with fumbles during the Brady era is at best unnatural.

IF Brady is the GOAT, then why did he need to cheat?
Is Brady the GOAT as a result of his cheating?
