Well let's see. Our organization has done some stupid things in the past. If the Redskins had already gone through SpyGate and then gotten busted for this, I'd be pissed at the organization (and around here it takes very little for that to happen).
I would also be confused as to why our QB would break the rules to do something that clearly has not given them a competitive advantage.
Come to think of it, you could say that this organization already has its "strike one" from CapGate. So maybe our team needs to make sure they are doing things within the rules so they don't get busted the same way the Pats did.
Well with the cap hit, everyone here was pretty much upset about it. Some of you wanted to kill John Mara. Although this isn't a rule, obviously the Redskins did something they were told not to do.
I have no doubt that if Tom Brady were our QB, and lead our organization to 4 Super Bowls, the opinions here would be totally different. I'd bet my life savings on it. People here would be furious, just like the cap situation.

I'm sure there were plenty of people upset with the organization for what they did. The problem with CapGate is that the league did exactly what the NFLPA was accusing them of doing.
Yes, fans will be biased, but that doesn't change the fact that in the eyes of the league our team did and what Brady did was wrong.

Pats: Jim McNally called himself “Deflator” because he’s fat | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/05/14/pats-jim-mcnally-called-himself-deflator-because-hes-fat/)

An even more cogent graphic. The Pats fumbled once per 42 touches in the period from 2000 - 2006. After the ball rules were changed, it went up to 1 fumble in 74 touches, a drastic outlier.
If you're statistically inclined, the P-Value on this 0.0001711874, meaning there is a 0.017% chance that this improvement in fumble rate was the result of chance, aka 'just the way the football bounces'.

This is a fairly widespread bell curve distribution but the Patriots are still up on the tail end by a mile.

Nice find with this article. Funny how Peyton and Brady lobbied for the rule change...def something shady going on with those numbers.
Speaking of Peyton, he's been aweful quiet about this situation.
