I am not a Seattle fan, but it says something about the Pats fans that they need these long cut-n-paste excuse responses defending the growing list of "rules issue" controversies.
You need to update your list to cover the, what, 1981 snow plow incident for us older guys. You know, the one where the Pats coach got the snowplow guy to clear off the 23 yardline where a Pats field goal attempt would be held and not just the yard lines (10, 20, etc) like the rules said.
Or a simpler explaination: there is a systemic culture in the organization that has persisted for a number of years.
Uh yeah, the “systemic culture” is that Belichick reads the rules and plays smart ball instead of thug ball, see?

Right the laws of physics weren’t different on the other side of the field IOW the Colts balls were most likely OVER inflated at the start of the game.
See the refs most likely did the Charmin squeeze test and tossed the balls in the bag prior to what was likely a pre planned sting ops.
BTW Brady was 8-8 to start the second half after the balls were re inflated and the Pats went on to score 28 points.
Yeah my team has been trashed for 7 years for operating within the rules by sour grapes fans from other teams who are sore losers and don’t even know the rules and a hater media.
The Pats will be back in the SB next year and Brady is the GOAT QB deal with it.

I guess you didn’t hear. Curt Mortenson lied.
The only ‘deflated’ ball was the one the COLTS had in their possession.
