The Importance Of The Patriots

The Carolina Panthers had to come out of the locker room after the first half needing to get something going if they were going to come back and beat the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50. The first half was dominated by the defense. Whose defense would be able to hold out for the rest of the game would determine who would win the Super Bowl.

Tom Brady and the New England Patriots were accused of deflating footballs to give them an advantage in the January 18th AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts. Deflated footballs are easier to grip and throw, giving their team a direct advantage over the Colts. The Indianapolis Colts equipment manager first suspected the balls did not meet the NFL’s minimum standard right before half time and after measuring the balls he notified officials. Most all of the balls the Patriots had were not measuring to the correct standard and they found that Tom Brady knew of the violation and said nothing. Punishment from the NFL was a one million fine, four game suspension without pay and the loss of not only their 1st round draft pick in 2016 but also their 4th round draft pick in 2017. In addition, the two equipment staffers responsible for the incident were also indefinitely suspended. (ESPN.com) However, Tom Brady recently won his court appeal overruling the 4 game suspension and will be a starting player in the upcoming

There is no doubt in my mind that this type of performance from Tom Brady will last throughout the season. If Rob Gronkowski stays healthy, the Patriots will have a very good chance at making it to the Super Bowl again this year after witnessing Brady put on a Brady-like performance. Usually when a team wins the Super Bowl, they come back the next year and look like everything other than the defending champs, but the Patriots and Tom Brady have other

New York Giants versus New England Patriots, Super Bowl XLII: And the Patriots make the list once again, this time with a much different outcome. 16-0 in the regular season and 2-0 in the playoffs for a grand record of 18-0 heading into the Super Bowl, the Patriots were eyeing perfection. The Giants on the other hand barely snuck into their Wild Card slot. Easy win, right? It was back and forth the whole game. Then, at the end, with the Patriots up 14-10, the Giants are put into third & long. Eli Manning takes the snap, gets grabbed by a few defensive linemen, breaks free, and hurls the ball downfield, and David Tyree makes the best catch in NFL history. Plaxico Burress’s catch was just icing on the 18-1

Back in 2008 the New England Patriots were caught videotaping other teams signals from the sidelines. This was in a scandal called Spygate. For many years, the Patriots videotaped opposing teams signals to gain an unfair and cheap upper-hand on their opponents. They even attempted to steal playbooks from the visiting teams’ locker rooms and hotel rooms.

Along their championship path, the Ravens beat Dumervil and the Broncos in the divisional playoff round.

On January 18, 2015, the New England Patriots faced off against the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship game and proceeded to demoralize them 45-7. After the game a report came out that the Colts had noticed that the air pressure in one of the footballs used in the game was somewhat lower than the league minimum. What ensued was one of the most vexed and frankly ridiculous controversies in NFL history. For months there were disputes both over whether or not the balls were actually under inflated, and later whether or not the team or the quarterback, Tom Brady, knew the balls were tampered with. A massive amount of media coverage was devoted to the argument and the subsequent trial, and in that coverage, many “facts” regarding both the

Just a week ago the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts went against each other in the AFC Championship. The Patriots had an unusual game, with the ending score at 45-7 Patriots. That led to some concerns after the game (Mortenson).

The Patriots continue to roll after winning 27-10 on Sunday over the Redskins. Brandon Lafell got back on track, finishing with five catches and 102 yards. I would say this was the worst the Patriots have looked all season on offense and, despite this, they still scored 27 points easily. The team has scored in and NFL record 31 straight quarters.

The Rams racked up 427 of offense to the Patriots 214 of offence. Patriots planted 8 times out of their first to drivers, and had been inside the Rams 25 yard line only once. However it was still a game. With 1:21 left to go in the fame Tom Brady with no time outs lead his team to the Rams 38 yard line to set up the winning 48 yard field goal from Adam Vinatieri.

The New England Patriots were playing the Indianapolis Colts in the 201 AFC(American Football Conference) Championship. The New England Patriots were playing theIndianapolis Colts. At halftime of the game, the referees found footballs that were “deflated”.But, I don’t believe it happened. It was cold and rainy, which means that the footballs could havenaturally deflated. The football in an NFL game have to be 12.5 PSI-13.5 PSI (Pounds PerSquare Inch).It doesn’t add up that the Patriots deflated the footballs. They scored 17 points in the firsthalf, but after the referees supposedly fixed the deflated footballs, the Patriots scored morepoints in the second half, at 28. The Patriots ended up going and winning Super Bowl“XLIX”. They beat the Seattle Seahawks, 28-24.Fifteen months later, the NFL disciplined the Patriots for DeflateGate. They lost a 1stround draft pick in 2016 and a 4th round draft pick in 2017.

The Americans were patriots because they forged a new way of life, and they took it upon themselves to fix what needed to be changed.

Jefferson City, TN- The Jefferson County Patriots, comeback from eleven-points down in the third set to sweep the South Doyle Cherokees 25-21, 28-26, 25-23, on Thursday night at the Patriot Academy.

The Patriots have the biggest non-quarterback difference maker in the NFL. Rob Gronkowski is an absolute beast of a football player. He is an unstoppable force. He is impossible to stop. In addition to Gronkowski, Tom Brady looks better than ever. He is playing with a chip on his shoulder. He, like Rogers has been just about perfect, completing 69 percent of his passes.

In the 2014 AFC Championship game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots there was tampering with the footballs, which became known as Deflategate. NFL footballs are supposed to have a PSI (pounds per square inch) between 12.5 and 13.5. The New England Patriot’s footballs at half time were lower than 12.5 and nobody knows how that happened and that’s where the Deflategate Scandal was born. In the three articles I will be analyzing the three sides the Indianapolis Colts , the New England Patriots and the rest of America’s point of views of the Deflategate scandal.
