Interesting analysis:

http://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/blog/2015/the-new-england-patriots-prevention-of-fumbles-is-nearly-impossible


The 2014 Patriots were just the 3rd team in the last 25 years to never have lost a fumble at home! The biggest difference between the Patriots and the other 2 teams who did it was that New England ran between 150 and 200 MORE plays this year than those teams did in the years they had zero home fumbles, making the Patriots stand alone in this unique statistic.

PHOENIX — It wouldn’t be a Phoenix Super Bowl without reports of the Patriots and a video tape.

As the league investigates the Patriots for using underinflated footballs in the AFC Championship game, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported Monday that the NFL has “zeroed in” on a Patriots locker room attendant who allegedly took the game balls from the officials’ locker room to “another area” in Gillette Stadium on the way to the field.

Glazer reported that the NFL still hasn’t determined whether wrongdoing occurred, but the locker room attendant has been interviewed, is a “strong person of interest,” and there is video. It is unclear whether the video is from the Patriots’ security cameras at Gillette Stadium or from an outside source.

The "another area" in question was a mens room where there would obviously be no cameras.

It was just reported on ABC news that there is very credible evidence that Brady knew about it and was complicit in it.

The text is" more probable than not" that he was generally aware. So they cant prove that he did or didnt but they have reason to beleive that he was atleast aware of the activity. I honestly think this whole thing is stupid both ways. On one hand argueblly the best coach and qb tandem is trying to find possible competitive advantages slightly outside the rules and on the other the Colts look like a bunch of whiners because they almost never (except in 2006) can beat the Pats in the playoffs. Personally I think unless they want to do anything to Aaron Rodgers who has actually come out saying he has OVERINFLATED balls then they really shouldnt come down hard on the pats as many wish. I still cant believe air pressure in footballs and domestic violence cases were bigger than an epic superbowl in the NFL in 2014
