The guy is giving signals out in front of 80,000 people. OK? We filmed him taking signals out in front of 80,000 people like there were a lot of other teams doing at that time too, OK? Forget about that. If we were wrong, then we’ve been disciplined for that. "Guy’s in front of 80,000 people. Eighty-thousand people saw it, everybody’s sideline saw it, everybody sees our guy in front of 80,000 people. There he is. It was wrong, we were disciplined for it. That’s it. We never did it again. We’re never gonna do it again. Anything else that’s close we’re not gonna do, either.

This blew me away today, but it’s basically what Patriots fans have been waiting for BB to say for the last 7 years. Just so true, boiled down to what it really was. This moment was like a Gronk spike for me.

Epic Belichick Press Conference on Patriots’ internal Deflategate Investigation (and a Spygate reference too!)

If you haven’t seen this yet, do it! I don’t know how I can make it another 8 days until the Super Bowl after watching this. The ball is now in the NFL’s court and, as I’ve said, unless they have a video of the Pats deflating a ball, I’m not sure how they can do much more than a fine.

To me, a lot of this DeflateGate talk is really about SpyGate […] People have resentment and lingering mistrust from SpyGate, the league destroyed the evidence, people did not get the explanation that they wanted on this around the rest of the country. […] I don’t think really the rest of the country cares about deflated footballs. I think they could care less. You know, I don’t think it’s that big a deal. I think that this is residual from SpyGate, they’ve been waiting for years for the Patriots to slip up; they feel like they did, and now they’re jumping all over it. […] It’s not about how many games they played with deflated footballs and who turned ‘em in […] It’s about trying to exact that pound of flesh that people wanted from SpyGate.

When the Patriots are ahead by two or more scores, Patriots have allowed league worst 19 20 yard plays (tied with Colts). When looking at times where the Patriots lead is less than 2 scores, the defense rockets up to 6th best, allowing just 48 plays of 20 yards. Seattle is tied first with 39. This means that when the game is close, New England has done an outstanding job of preventing the other team from picking up quick yards to move down the field- and yes, this is including the playoffs.

[This is] going to make them hyper focused for the game,” Klecko said via phone on Friday. “It’s really going to lock them in on the us against the world mentality, and we all know what happened the last time something like this — got accused, or found — that was Spygate and they almost went undefeated and being the greatest team of all-time. It’s fun to watch on the outside because I know what is going on in that room.

Is this game all about getting a lead and limiting Lynch’s touches as much as possible? Since the Lions game, the Pats have only started one game particularly well – last week vs the Colts, and look what happened there. They seem very adept at keeping their foot on the oppositions throat when in the lead. If the Pats get ahead, and Seattle has to throw more, I like our chances with Revis v Baldwin, Browner v Willson, and Arrington+Mccourty v Kearse. If we fall behind I worry about our run D.

Valid concerns, but I think with the way our secondary matches up with them, stopping Lynch is probably already the biggest key of the game. Would a points deficit exaggerate that? Of course, but we’ve seen this Patriots team dig out of a hole quite a few times before.

You just can’t tell how the ball is going to bounce next Sunday. Will the Seahawks have some Tyree magic? Or will it be the Patriots who things break towards like they did in the early 2000s?

All I know is that this Patriots team has proven over and over again the last few years that they’re going to be ready to fight for 60 minutes. They won’t cave like the Broncos did last year and just become a snowball of errors.
