Watch Four Games in Fall | Prime Video

Tom Brady, a 6 time Superbowl champion quarterback, was accused of deflating footballs to gain an advantage in an AFC championship game. An accusation of a minor equipment violation quickly dominated the national headlines for months, branding Brady a cheater. This film exposes the tactics that...

Yahoo Finance talks about it:

Documentary takes air out of NFL's Deflategate case against Tom Brady, who continues to prove it wasn't about the balls

The filmmaker rarely pays attention to football, but the blanket coverage of Deflategate touched on a topic she is passionate about – science for hire.

www.yahoo.com

"The documentary “Four Games in Fall” annihilates the NFL for the Deflategate scandal, showing it is highly unlikely, and certainly never proven, that the footballs Tom Brady used in the 2015 AFC championship game were even deflated beyond what Ideal Gas Law would dictate.

Rather than back down when confronted with the realities of science, the league used biased investigators, manipulated evidence and an effective, if pathetic, misinformation campaign to railroad Brady, who wound up suspended for four games.

The film is nearly two hours of scientists, lawyers and professors systematically debunking a story that is more about abuse of power than what did, or more accurately, didn’t occur."

Deflategate is such a fucking scam. I'll never forgive Goodell for this.

That's not Dan Marino.

In China he would be dead

 

[ScarletSpider]

No, it’s Tom Brady, thread title clearly states greatest of all time, can you not read?

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Peyton Manning was better.

Remember when he let his TE impregnate his wife?

Oh you mean Larry Bird?

many documentaries frame stuff to build their chosen narrative. looking at the actual data it does seem the punishment was warranted patriots balls were all clearly under the 12.5 and 13.5 psi range. compared to the Colt's balls which were much closer to being within the bottom range. this is coming from a fair weather brady fan.

You spelled Matt Stafford wrong

 

[poppabk]

If you say the Patriots cheated by replacing one of the players with a grizzly bear, I would believe you.

Does the documentary go I to this. I would hope so

I'm clearly joking, nerd.

I would say my favorite QB to watch all time is Aaron Rodgers. Love the way he plays the game.

Should be a fun NFC championship game.

I don't know dick about football, but "deflategate" sounds like a specific kind of fetish I'd find artwork for on deviantart.

 

[Master Of Illusion]

Still cheating with the Bucks the dumb sonfucking piece of obtuse mule feces anchoring the NFL deeper and deeper into an abyss of fixed untertainment while Goodell gleefully tickles his husband's prostate with a quill.

 

[Madevil]

Nvm

 

[DeepEnigma]

What’s next, they’re going to try to debunk them recording other teams practices as well?

 

[FreedomOfSpeech]

You know, who gives a shit about pressure inside a football?
If x pressure works better than y pressure, then you better use x, no?

 

[LordCBH]

The colts were just mediocre as shit and wanted to come up with an excuse as to why they got the shit beat out of them.
Never forget this level of pathetic:

 

[BadBurger]

My memory is fuzzy and I never saw that doc, but didn't even Neil deGrasse Tyson come to Brady's defense back when the scandal went down, explaining the physics and what not? I seem to remember some high-profile popularizer of science weighing in.

 

[Virt McPolygon]

I thought of like 5 other names before I entered the thread. Fuck Tom Brady.

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

So you don't know what actually happened. They were punished for videotaping the opposing team's sideline from an unauthorized location. Every team videotaped their opponents, but you had to be in a certain area of the stadium. The Patriots did it like 150 feet away from that area and in a worse viewing location. They broke a "rule" that was really only a memo from Goodell.

Again, there was no rule saying you couldn't record the opposing sidelines.

This issue may have been over blown but I believe 2 things

1 - There was something to this
2 - This wasnt the only stain on TB's name

ps - Montana.

What other stains

 

[DGrayson]

What other stains

Im not saying it was TB but Patriots in general. There was the videotaping the other team practice is the first thing that comes to mind.

Spygate? The video taping was legal, it was the position of the filming

Deflategate was a joke. For everyone's reference:

No it is not.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Tom Brady scored 24 pts or less in 5 Superbowl appearances.

He is the most overrated QB in the history of the NFL.

That by itself is impressive. I don't think Brady is a football genius by any means, but I appreciate his competitiveness. That said, I always root for him to lose.

 

[MMaRsu]

I dont know NFL but it wouldnt surprise.me a big organisation says one thing, is disproven but sticks with their bs tale anyway.

 

[Dr Bass]

Tom Brady scored 24 pts or less in 5 Superbowl appearances.

He is the most overrated QB in the history of the NFL.

The hyper inflated points of recent seasons is just a side effect of the rule changes that greatly favor offense. You just can't play D anymore. 24-17 used to be a really high scoring game.

You like watching losers play, 1-4 in Championship games . OK

Tom Brady scored 24 pts or less in 5 Superbowl appearances.

Your delusional , he is going to have 10 SB appearances and going for a 7th ring....yeah highly overrated

What’s next, they’re going to try to debunk them recording other teams practices as well?

To be fair thats more on Belichick‘s and has nothing to do with Brady.

All I see is a QB that has crushed the hearts and dreams of most of the NFL and pissed off fans that are jealous.
Any of these guys crying about Brady would kill to have him on there team.
Haters going to hate but you can’t deny the results.

I would still like to see how these QBs would perform pre-rules era, where they would go after QBs like snipers and before WRs were treated with don't touch kid gloves on coverage. Which was ironically changed with Brady coming up hence the "Brady Rules" the league called them.

Better yet, the greats that had to deal with players like LT and the like, brought into the new era of rules. But we will never know. Maybe they can make AI programs for that.

Looks pretty average to below average to me.

He's overrated because "Super Bowl appearances" are a horrific metric to gauge a players talent or impact.

Tom Brady was a good QB. But he's also the single most overrated NFL player of all time.

I’m guessing being a all time great he would be fine, he is more a prototypical old school pocket passer with great accuracy and when in his prime very good arm strength ( still pretty good ).

Let me guess your a disgruntled fan that lost to Brady in a SB ? Sour grapes bro and he has won 6 SB more than any other player whose ever played....overrated

So list me QB’s that where better ?

What about Super Bowl wins? He has more of those than anybody else too.

Is coming through in the clutch overrated too?

No, I'm offended by the idea that a teams success can be attributed to a single player.

I actually like Brady. But he's no GOAT.

Dan Marino was way better.
