Why the Patriots will be ok without Tom Brady

It's been a topic of debate around New England since Roger Goodell and the NFL decided to try and make an "example" out of Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. On January 18th 2015 the New England Patriots destroyed the Indianapolis Colts 45-7 in the AFC championship. It sent Brady and the Patriots to Super Bowl 49 against the Seattle Seahawks. It was only until the days following the game that we found out some of the Patriots balls had been a little under inflated. The days following the game reports started coming out that the patriots had been caught in a sting operation run by the NFL. On January 20th Chris Mortensen of ESPN reported that 11 of the 12 balls were 2 PSI under inflated. Thanks to the Wells report we now know that report was completely false. The Patriots went onto win the Superbowl thanks to catch for the ages by rookie cornerback Malcolm Butler.
