The Rams could have used a tainted coin in Minn yesterday. Once they lost the coin toss the game was over. The team with the wind at their back had the other team by the hip all day! And in that vein why the hell didn't the Rams kick the ball in OT instead of receiving after the Vikes took the favorable end of the field. Make them drive the ball 80 yards!!!

Speaking of cheating, as noted in other posts, it's entirely possible that deflategate wasn't so much about making a more catchable ball, but on preventing fumbles.
Did some quick incomplete research on 2015 fumbles (assuming properly inflated balls):

Rams have 10 so far, 4 by Foles.
Bills have 13, 5 by their QB's.
Fins have 11, 7 (!) by Tannehill (only lost 2)
Jests have 8, 2 by Fitz (3 by B. Marshall)
Cheats have 7 so far, 3 by Brady.

I'm starting to wonder who was most concerned about fumbling the ball: the Cheats' RB's, or their QB???? Did Brady ever have a sack-fumble that cost the Cheats a game?

Edit:
Just in case anyone thinks the Cheats have just been better than other teams at not losing the football:
Steelers have 5 total fumbles, 0 by B.R. (!) 2 by Vick.
Steelers opponents: 16, wow.

Over the years (more than 10), they have had MUCH fewer fumbles than even dome teams. Something like three standard deviations less.

Which, of course, is a literal statistical impossibility. (Without cheating)

Roger.
Which is why I find it very interesting that this season, their fumbling numbers have suddenly become relatively average.
 
They use a weighted coin that will always land on the same side.
It is a golden coin that magically appears every Sunday morning from Bradys quivering mud daisy.
