Get over what? They are cheaters. Did they cheat this time? Maybe maybe not. But we know at this point it's not something they'd have any issues taking part in.

Doesn't matter how many touchdowns he throws.

Wow. Brady did the equivalent of using a hockey stick with a little extra bend. Let's erase his records!!!! The horror!

Watched last game of the RedBlack's regular season from my in-laws' newly finished condo facing the field... great view. Beers were much cheaper (not $12 a pop) and it was almost as much fun watching the crowd (and the fans who got too drunk and had to be escorted out) as it was the game... Can't wait for Sunday, should be amazing.

That's nothing alike, if you're unaware.

You see, the Pat's were the only ones with the advantage of using the under inflated balls, which is strictly against the rules. Teams use their own set of balls. You could have a stick with 10 flex, it is allowed. See; Kessel

Bingo. The Pats have been busted numerous times. And probably more than that has been swept under the rug by the NFL to "protect the shield".

At least we know the Giants will once again beat them in the Super Bowl this year.

Funny enough but honestly the Giants might be the only team that might have the ability to rattle New England. Whether they're good enough to make the SB this season is another story. I don't think they will but you never know..

But as of right now who can knock off the Pats?

I used to think it would be Denver but their defense is showing cracks and Peyton is as unreliable as ever and we're not even sure when he's coming back this season

The Packers are struggling tremendously on offence without Nelson out there and their defense is nothing special

The Seahawks have lost their mojo a little bit. I think that SB loss is still affecting them all psychologically a little bit. Wilson is playing poorly this year and their defense just doesn't have that same clutch shut down ability they;ve had over the past few seasons. I read somewhere that all of their losses have come from blown leads in the 4th quarter. That would have been unheard of last season and in the SB winning year

The Falcons are the softest and the most over-rated team in the league

The Chiefs have a solid defense but Alex Smith is mediocre and no Charles would make it very difficult for them

The Bengals are currently losing to an awful Texans team and haven't proven they can do anything in the playoffs

The Vikings? Maybe but I'm not sure if you can trust a young QB like Bridgewater out there in a playoff game against a team like the Patriots

The only other team that can give NE a run for its money would be Carolina. I dont think anyone expected them to have the record they do with guys like Smith Sr leaving there. Cam should be in the talk for an MVP award.

Any other team that could do it?

Pretty much every active NFL player interviewed on deflate gate thought it was overblown.

1st the whole thing was really poorly handled by the NFL. The teams got to manage their own balls. There was no oversight and their was no punishment for over/under inflated balls. There was not even standardized pressure testing. So a few of the balls were under inflated. The number isn't the same based on the pressure gauge used and available to the referees who could not remember which one they used when and their was a significant difference between them. The whole thing was overblown.

Did the Pats film a Jets practice and get caught. Yah... So what again . Did most people in the biz think they got caught but lots of teams were doing it ... yup.

If a running back's knee is down and he tries to make everyone think it isn't while he lunges to break the plane is he cheating... yah I guess so.. so what

These are all pretty ridiculously minor infractions. The integrity of the NFL .... The Pats payed the price for their crimes and then some.

MNF is a doozy. 3-3 with a minute to go before half time, Buffalo has a great chance to go up by a FG, they botch the kick, and Brady marches up the field in less than a minute to get his team a TD before half.

Barf.

Pats have now lost Edelman, Amendola, Lewis and Gonkowski and their 1st game of the season to the Broncos in OT.

Pats haters rejoice.

Boo Freakin' Hoo.

This is the NFL. Every team is dealing with major injuries. They deserved to lose last night too because an officiating crew actually decided to call them on all the BS they typically get away with.

Watching them wilt down the stretch and flame out of the playoffs is all I'm looking forward to for the rest of the season.

**** the Pats*

I'm bummed. My franchise TE in my keeper league (Jimmy Graham) got a season ending and very possibly career shortening knee injury.

Oh, and f the Pats.

I have the Pats winning the SB again, to be honest. All those guys except Lewis are going to be back for the playoffs and nobody game plans in this league better than Belichick and nobody executes that game plan better than Brady and the rest of the Patriots. Honestly at this point all they have to do is hold down the fort until the playoffs start. They're going either 12-4 or 13-3 with another bye week. They're just too good.

If their defense starts playing consistently over the last 5 games I think the Steelers could be a dark horse team if they manage to make the playoffs
