The balls each offense uses are kept on each team's own sidelines for the rest of the game.
Said ball attendant, on the Pats sideline, and a 5 second poke with a inflation needle drops the pressure an easy two pounds.

Im not so sure you have that correct- the balls are mixed together and distributed randomly. The ball attendants do not hand out specific footballs depending on which O is up. The balls are all placed together near the replay booth. At least, Im pretty sure this is how it is done. Either way, if the method I am describing is accurate, it is even worse for the Pats, as it eliminates the possibility that something accidentally happened to all the balls after the inspection. Sounds like they were deflated going into the game and the refs didn't accurately assess them?
