Ok, let me lay out the system that is in place..
2 hours prior to each game, each team submits 12 balls (11 regular, 1 kicking) the balls are weighed by the head official at this time. The balls were within the limits, when weighed before the Pats/Colts game. The balls are then returned to each team to be prepared (used during warm ups, rubbed down to remove slickness). Only players and team staff have access to the balls at this point
At some point during the game, one of the refs felt one of the balls felt light, he weighed it and it was. A note was then made to weigh all balls after the game.
After the game 11 of New England's 12 balls came back light. (2 PSI under the limit of 12.5-13.5 PSI) The one that wasn't light was the kicking ball.
I'm not simply arguing with you here, there are no ifs ands or buts. These are the FACTS that are being reported. I have no side when it comes to this game, I live in Canada and root for the cincinatti Bengals.

They don't know if they where at proper weight before the game. The report isn't out yet. They are in the middle of an investigation. All They know for certain is that 11 ball where under weight after the game

Link to article I stated. It's the third article down. http://www.thescore.com/nfl/news/685716

I'll wait till the NFL investigation is done, not some media hype

The footballs were inspected and approved by referee Walt Anderson two hours and 15 minutes before kickoff and were returned to each team. League rules state the balls are not to be altered from that point on. The above was copied and pasted directly from the article I read.
