  • Analysis: The New England Patriots

    387 Words  | 2 Pages

    The New England Patriots are undefeated so far this season with a record of 8-0. I believe that the Patriots could go undefeated in the regular season because they have been playing very well and a lot of their games are not even close. I think they will go 16-0 because the rest of their games should be easy for them other than maybe the Denver Broncos, or the New York Jets, because you never know what could happen in a divisional game. So far this season they have won against the Steelers, Bills, Jaguars, Cowboys, Colts, Jets, Dolphins, and Redskins.

    On January 18th, 2015, during the NFL’s AFC Championship, New England Patriots’ quarterback, Tom Brady, was accused of throwing deflated footballs in the first half of the game. It wasn’t noticed until Colts linebacker, D’Qwell Jackson, intercepted a Tom Brady pass in the second quarter and realized the football didn’t have the proper air quantity. Colts personnel measured the ball and it was, in fact, under regulation amount. The footballs were inflated during halftime; however, Brady threw better with the proper sized balls than he did with the deflated balls. News began to leak on social media regarding the situation, and soon after, the NFL launched an independent investigation and concluded the findings in the Wells Report.

  • Rule Changes In The NFL

    Generally people think that the NFL should adjust the game, and its rules to increase player safety, statistics clearly show that too much adjusting has been done and the NFL is suffering because of it. Too many rules have been changed for player safety and the current changes being discussed, like getting rid of the kickoff, are going to far and the game is not like it was. Players sign contracts and are aware of the risks they put themselves at when playing the game of football at a professional level. Referees are throwing more flags and the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, is handing out a record high of fines. These adjustments by the National Football League are going too far and some rule changes need to be reverted back to their previous rules.
