It was a blow out that had nothing to do with the inflation of footballs. But there has been cheating done by some teams that does give them an advantage or worse that takes out for the season one of the key players on an opposing team. Are those teams vilified? I think not. Just because I'm a Pats fan doesn't mean my brain fell out. Even if I wasn't a Pats fan I could see the unfairness and inconsistency in how the Pats are judged compared to other teams.

I completely agree, the Pats seem to be judged, in the court of public opinion, harsher than the other teams that do the same type of things.
And, I also agree that the game against the Colts was a blowout. Even if they took away all of the Patriots points in the first half, the Pats still would have won 28-7. It's just how it is.
Now, there is only three and a half hours to kickoff. Enjoy the pre-gaming and the tailgating (if you are lucky enough to be doing that) and enjoy the game. I think it's going to be a great game!
