And this happened BEFORE halftime, and during halftime the refs replaced all the balls. And in the second half the Patriots went 28-0 against the Colts.

It seems bringing the balls up to pressure HELPS the Patriots...

I understand you and many more assume the less inflated ball is easier to throw and catch, but the outcome seems to be it really doesn’t make things easier OR harder.

Exactly. The properly inflated balls were used AFTER halftime, when the Pats rolled over the Colts with four touchdowns.

The very bad playing of the Colts isn’t the issue, the possible cheating is. If the Pats are so great, why do they need to cheat, if they did? It’s the sanctity of the game and obeying the rules of the game that is the issue. The Colts would have lost most likely any way.................

And all of this occurred without the head coach knowing anything was going on!

The point is not that it didn’t affect the outcome of the game. The point is that it was intended to affect the outcome of the game. They flouted the rules......AGAIN.
