This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
In my mind, the patriots have yet to win a championship. They are serial cheaters and the only people left that will defend them are their blind to the truth fans. The videos from Spygate were destroyed. Brady's cell phone destroyed. We all know why. If karma is for real, this sorry franchise is in for a hell of a fall.
".... during pregame warm-ups, a low-level Patriots employee would sneak into the visiting locker room and steal the play sheet, listing the first 20 or so scripted calls for the opposing team’s offense. (The practice became so notorious that some coaches put out fake play sheets for the Patriots to swipe.) Numerous former employees say the Patriots would have someone rummage through the visiting team hotel for playbooks or scouting reports. "
It's mind blowing, and it's all swept under the carpet for the good of the game. I wouldn't be surprised if the Pats knew the Seahawks were going to throw on that last play in the SB because of a stolen call or radio signal.
I think it is amazing that someone's full time job was to decipher signals. In close NFL games, it sometimes is just a handful of plays that make a difference.
In the NE area, a lot fan are upset at the sports media. They can't seem to understand why ESPN and NFL network has bias against them. If you look the commentators, many of them are former NFL players that were from the spy gate era. Of course they have a bias against the Patriots, most of them either publicly (and some privately) feel like they were screw out of the chance of going to the Playoffs and Super Bowl.
IMO it reconfirms to me that they have 3 tainted Super Bowl wins. If Seattle runs the ball on 2nd and 1 at the goal line, they would be 0-3 in the post spy gate era.
Honestly stealing signals don't bother me that much. You are out in the open so you need to do what you have to to keep your signals secure ie have multiple signalers but the qb knows who is giving the real signals. Stealing is differrent if they were stealing playes someone (Like Belicheat) sould lose there job and the Pats should lose draft picks in multiple drafts.
I think it says a lot that the Pats didn't win for as long while after Spygate. They only recently found a way again. That last play of the Superbowl looked almost staged....they knew what to look for. Someone should go offer Aaron Hernandez some free canteen for Info. I bet he could tell some stories on old Belicheat.

I would rather see some of their fans go back in the shadows. If you ask them the NFL didn't exist before 2002.
you know, if i came home with lipstick on my collar i could get a team of specialist to concoct a dozen plausible ways it got there without one of them being from a mistress.
my wife isn't stupid though, unless she wants to be.
