were the refs too busy playing poker before each game so this wouldn’t happen ?
I think the blame should be directed to those who should be officiating each game by definition / NFL rule book

Even if the deflation was intentional (which I think it wasn’t), it would actually be a hinderance to the Pats, since the mass of the ball would be decreased, resulting in a slower ball that is more likely to be intercepted since it cannot travel as far and slows down quicker. The condition of the ball, wet or dry, played a much more important role then 2 psi.

every analyst on both ESPN and the NFL channel who played the game at the highest level says that lowering the inflation provides a better grip for the QB in cold weather as well as making it more difficult for the defense to knock the ball out of the hands of a running back.
the verdict from the people who know best say that 2psi makes a big difference.

The scientists at Sports Science disagree that one mm more compression yields better control of the ball. And the info on passing still stands.
Let’s say that the balls were checked for and filled with air in a warm room inside the stadium ( not at all unlikely). If they were inflated to the league min psi, it is within the normal expectations for them to deflate by 2 psi as the game ce to an end.

Mark Brunell played quarterback in the NFL for 17 years.
Jerome Bettis played running back in the NFL 13 years.
They say it makes a big difference and that is all the proof I need. Their considered opinions carry far more weight with me than someone who never played a down.

Just to play it safe, the NFL better hold Tom Brady’s balls until he’s ready to use them
