6 of 15 initial plays were runs...40 percent...once down 14 0...runs became less than 25% and once down 3 scores runs became under 10 %7

[Colofornian]

Was initial drop of about 17% ND then another 15%...so 2nd td had gretest impact on run game...% drop wise

“6 of 15 initial plays were runs...40 percent...”

One of the ‘runs’ was a pass play ... quarterback scramble.

One pass play was called back on a penalty.

5 of 16 = 31%.

From ESPN reporting of a Goodell press conference Jan 30
“No knowledge of past in-game testing.
Asked if the NFL has tested the air pressure in footballs during a game in the past, and how important that is as a frame of reference in the ongoing investigation, Goodell said he didn’t know the answer and that attorney Ted Wells will look into that as part of the investigation. From our viewpoint, this answer warrants scrutiny based on the magnitude of the NFL’s investigation and the media firestorm it has created. How could Goodell not know? “

You don’t know of previous examples because no one checked before.

“(Oh...sure QBS NEVER handle any balls In those minutes before kickoffs)”

Turns out the only ball that was deflated was the one handled by the Colts staff. hmmmm.

Turns out Chris Mortenson lied and you believed him.

The incident, besides reviving those old “Belicheat” cliches from SpyGate, ripped the cover off a part of the game that many fans never think about: the journey of a football from approval to sideline. NFL footballs, according to the rule book, must be inflated with 12.5-13.5 pounds per square inch. Each team brings a number of balls to game officials, who approve them and mark them 135 minutes before game time. The footballs eventually are returned to each team, and each side uses its own set of balls when it is on offense. The NFL won’t be pulling the Patriots out of the Super Bowl. If it determines that they acted deliberately, a fine and/or loss of draft picks would be the likely punishment. But in a multi-billion-dollar business, this is either a really bad way to go about things or it’s a nonchalance, an arrogant shrug that says “everybody does it” and pays no mind to the possibility that it taints all those gaudy stats offenses have put up the last decade. So one of the first questions Goodell must ask as the NFL probes DeflateGate is: how pervasive is this?
