The balls were corrected at half time.
They were checked prior to the game, and signed off as good. After the Colts linebacker complained (he noticed during an interception), the balls were checked at half time, and found to be deflated.
So, "somehow" between the officials signing off the balls prior to kickoff and then halftime, 11 out of the 12 lost 16% of their air.
So the second half the Patriots played with full inflated balls. It was the first half (and who knows how many games prior) that the Patriots cheated.
To me this is a NON story. Problem is the media and the haters are just looking for anything having a feast over this little story. Yes Bill has done some stupid things in the past that in my opinion weren't necessary at all with the great teams that have resided in NE over the last decade, but deflated balls? 
The Pats kicked ass this past Sunday, get over it. Have any of you played with a under inflated football and a properly filled one? Personally I do better with a hard football, throw tighter spirals and can chuck it down further than with a softer football.

Of course you know,this means that not only will everybody be checking what kind of formation the Patriots have on the field each play,now they'll be checking their "balls" too. I first posted on this because it was news,but I didn't/don't want to jump to conclusions about the outcome of this as far as possible punishments go because I want to see how it plays out.

I don't think anyone is disputing that the cheating affected the final outcome of the game.
Just that it's cheating, plus how long was it going on for, and did it affect closer games.
Not to mention that their head coach has a history of cheating, and the previous punishment hasn't deterred him from doing it again.

I might be out in left field but they use to until Peyton led a movement to have team/offenses manage they own balls.

I enjoy reading papers/sites from different regions....i noticed a trend where the haters are calling for BB to be banned from the league.
Personally, I think BB is way too smart to cheat via orchestrating/approving deflating balls
I believe it began several years ago when the rules changes started to favor more offense in the game. QBs are allowed to doctor and use their own team balls within the now famous guidelines.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend,which means that BB/Patriots haters will be cheering for the Seahawks.............AND Richard Sherman. Of course I've come out from the start pulling for the Seahawks,I just like Russell Wilson,who Bill Belichick has compared to Roger Staubach.
IMO, all the haters out there are the ones who are fueling the Deflate-Gate issue (yes you NY, Indy and Baltimore). Interesting that no one on the Colts side came out in defense of the Patriots saying it didnt matter because they (Colts) just stunk that night
IE- you dont win too many games by just scoring 7 points!
Am interesting in knowing EXACTLY what happened too. Hopefully its a fair and precise investigation based on proven facts and not speculation based on past events.
If the Pats (Kraft, BB and Brady) knew ahead of time the balls were deflated, I'd be very very disappointed. Dont think its the case but we'll see.

Bellicheat will hang the ballboy. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/column-pats-ball-boy-became-americas-most-wanted-234229458--nfl.html
I couldn't get past the 1st lie in the article, Matt Walsh was fired in 02, not after "Spygate". Maybe the author should try the truth.
I have to laugh that you hate BELICHICK, but you worship at the alter of Saban.

@NFLonFOX not a story. They could have played with soap for balls and beat us. Simply the better team. We have to continue to build! #BTM

Wow......a guy that actually PLAYED in the game said it's a non-story! Hope this doesn't get in the way of all the haters!
