Why the **** would the other 31 owners, ESPECIALLY the other 15 in the AFC, ever agree to this?
And did Goodell push Ford offsides somehow? Did I miss his invisible hand shoving him over the LOS on game day? WTF? Did Goodell kick that ridiculous FG in the snow? Did he cause the Tyree helmet catch and the decision to throw instead of run resulting in the Butler pick, and the sack on Ryan that pushed the Falcons out of FG range leaving the Patriots with a chance, etc. ad infinitum? I mean, it's just so stupid.
The Patriots literally could have won all 9 of those SBs, or lost all of them except maybe the first Eagles game, they were all that close.

Every game is certainly not tainted but many times games do seem to get pushed in the direction the NFL wants. You could write a book on the refs helping the Pats win over the years. They seem to get the calls all the time. Every coach and fan think this. They cheated big and it was not investigated at all. Destroyed everything but a couple of tapes they gave Glazer to help make it look like nothing. Deflategate took months but spygate took two days? What does that tell you? Sham SB victories.

Pats have dominated for the 10 years since the BS spygate controversy. What does that tell you. If the NFL had wanted to bury/ignore spygate, they easily could have. Treated it like the stupid ball warming thing between the Vikings and Panthers a few years ago, which is also in violation of the rules.

Or the Raiders

Or published literally ANYTHING about the ball inflation testing that they said they would do, instead of burying it because they don't want to have to admit that science exists.
Instead when balls were seemingly underinflated in Giants/Steelers, they buried it.

When the Giants tested air pressure on two footballs they captured against the Steelers and reported them to be below the permissible range of 12.5 PSI, league officials should have leaped into action. They should have told Steelers officials, "You're in big f------ trouble" and then leaked erroneous amateur-hour data that poisoned the public understanding. They should have triggered a massive multimillion-dollar investigation, complete with footnoted junk science, that tarred a future Hall of Famer and resulted in fines, a forfeited draft pick and a four-game suspension. They should have invoked the words "scheme" and "tamper" and "cheating" and "competitive integrity," even compared the offense to "performance-enhancing drugs."
Instead? Nothing. NFL execs were neither overwhelmed nor underwhelmed by the report of soft footballs. They weren't whelmed at all. Instead there was this throbbing stillness. Followed by an attempt at denial and misdirection. After Jay Glazer of Fox Sports broke the news that the Giants had gone to the league with measurements showing loss of air pressure, the NFL replied with a stiff-necked yet ducking statement: "The officiating game ball procedures were followed and there were no chain of command issues. All footballs were in compliance and no formal complaint was filed by the Giants with our office."
