AW, CRAP! Why do I get the feeling I'm in for a ?
Immediately after getting caught in 2007, they went 17-0 in their next seventeen games and put on one of the most prolific offensive showings the league has ever seen and will likely ever see.
I'd say they have the abillity to win without the cameras.
Are there any other fans that still talk about Spygate on a somewhat regular basis?
I think we're the only ones.
i think thats because a lot of people think that we were ripped off of a couple of superbowl titles. if not for the *'s we may have a couple of more.
now, i dont think they are cheating. unfortunately i think they are just a good team. believe me that is hard to say. now i must go puke!!!!

Yeah. And they got caught the first game of the year. At halftime.
Let's walk this through.
They had the signals of say, the Dolphins, from 2006.
It's fair to assume the Dolphins' signals changed from 2006 to 2007.
The Pats got caught and no longer taped after Week 1 of the 2007 season.
They had yet to play the Dolphins.
Ergo, they did not have the Dolphins new signals and had no advantage.
It's time to move on.
IMO teams make small changes each yr , add the 4 weeks of preseason . and maybe they had someone taping games in other city's ? but then we will never know do to how things where handled ( or shall we say mishandled ) ...
Jets or Fins didn't have a shot at the sb either. Personally, until Brady and the rest of the core of that team are gone, I will consider any win illegitimate. Especially with Brady. I do not even include him in the discussion of QB's. It is the intellectual equivalent of comparing the American and the steroid driven athletes East German of the 70's and 80's.
Yes, except that there is a pretty good chance we will see the Pats* again-- in another AFCCG, and they again look like they are doing what they did last time they played us in a AFCCG. So its a little hard to move on, when it seems to be in the very near future again.
Do I know they are? No. Not at all. But dang, do they ever look like it again.
What really pisses me off is how many teams make absolute boneheaded trades with these jerks....what do they have 2 picks in the first 4 rounds this coming year or some such nonsense?
So much for the cheating penalty "setting them back for years" as some talking heads suggested.
I believe Michael Vick should never own another dog.
I believe Brett Favre should retire and STAY retired.
I believe the Cowboys are NOT America's team.
I believe Tom Brady is gay.
I believe the Bengals suck.
I believe Goodell is the Antichrist.
I believe the Patriots* are cheaters.
I believe only one of those statements really isn't true.
The way I see it is this. They are known cheaters so if teams don't take the necessary precautions to counter it, then they deserve what they get. No matter how difficult it would be to change names of plays etc, you HAVE to do something if you've played them once already this season.
Actually, he used the word "those" so it can't be.
