And I am perfectly willing to concede that Belichick has studied the game thoroughly and works very hard to elminate fumbles by intensive training and coaching.
And yet ironically my respect for Belichick's knowledge of the game makes his denials about knowing anything about ball inflation matters so incredibly unbelievable. And he then said to talk to Tom Brady about ball inflation. This makes me even more suspicious. I think someone truly innocent would just deny everything. If the officials tested 12 balls before the game--yet at half-time 11 of them were faulty--then that is simply incredible. And yet somehow the balls used by the Colts were all O.K.
And didn't the Colts complain about this in November?
What mystifies me is this: "Why should a coach of Belichick's talents want to cheat?"
Bellichick went 36-44 in four years with the Browns, and then went 5-11 with the Patriots in the only year without Tom Brady. Tom Brady has been the factor that made the Patriots the success they are today...it’s all about personnel.
I can’t find a record of Home Vs Away W-L but it would be interesting to learn their record when they control the balls (home) vs. when other teams do. (away)
