cheaters!

See Red · 09-10-2007, 04:46 PM

Classiest organization in football, right there.

ARod2212 · 09-10-2007, 04:46 PM

Fucking cheating bastards. That's why they couldn't cover Randy Moss or tackle Maroney.

Seriously though, that's pretty cheap. I wouldn't put it past Belichick to pull something like that.

Even after reading the article, doesn't make much sense HOW they cheated, so they saw the signals they were giving out in plain view, except they had it on video. Unless the radio frequency had something to do with listening in, there's not much here.

See Red · 09-10-2007, 05:20 PM

NFL wouldn't be investigating it if there "wasn't much here", and certainly not if it wasn't against the rules. It's a lot more difficult to figure these signals out in real time than it is to do so in review. Besides, they play the Jets at least one more time, so it may have been done so they can look over, and figure out, these signals before their next game against one another. I know it's your favorite team and all... but come on..

That's the only way I can figure that would seem like substantial cheating. Plus it's the obviousness of how they were caught again that puzzles me, if they did the same exact thing in Lambeau, why would they sue the SAME exact guy and method, which would obviously be seen by the Jets?

Seriously I bet stuff like this happens all the time, the Pats unfortuantely have gotten caught twice now. We still would have blown out the jets anyways so it doesn't really bother me what so ever.

TheKilo · 09-10-2007, 06:26 PM

If I were the Jets I'd be more concerned about being vastly outplayed in every facet of the game.

I still think the Pats would have won either way, but this is still unnessisary for the game. The Pats are played out year in and year out to be such a classy team, and everyone plays for the team and all that, and then they get caught on several occasions useing video and audio devises to find out what the Jets are doing in their defensive scheme even if for like the next game like See Red said. But becuase its the Patriots, fans and anylists will just pass this like it wasnt anything, and we'll hear statements like the post above mine, tryin to push off while taking a shot at another team [true statement....but nonetheless].

Im not saying the Jets lost because of this, becuase when you give up a 108 yrd kickoff return TD, your going to lose, but Im just sick of the Patriots being made out as Americas team, but when they do things like this, people just close their eyes, and then open them up to see Tom Brady signing autographs for young fans.

RedRuffing15 · 09-11-2007, 10:55 AM

And Im also not trying to say anything bad about the players...this is staff/FO or whatever, Im not saying anything about the players.

Either way, like Kilo said, the Jets got dominated in every single possible way.

TheKilo · 09-11-2007, 07:14 PM

lolololol the fuckers are in trouble.....

NFL security officials confiscated a camera and videotape from Patriots video assistant Matt Estrella on the New England sidelines when it was suspected he was recording the Jets' defensive signals. Sources say the visual evidence confirmed the suspicion.

Goodell is considering severe sanctions, including the possibility of docking the Patriots "multiple draft picks" because it is the competitive violation in the wake of a stern warning to all teams since he became commissioner, the sources said. The Patriots have been suspected in previous incidents.

The Patriots will be allowed an opportunity to present their case by Friday, sources said, most likely via the telephone.

Class out the ass...

dosent matter they still cheated

ARod2212 · 09-11-2007, 08:17 PM

Sportsnation poll overwhelmingly supports the Pats being forced to forfeit the game. Every state outside of New England was a 'yellow state' in the poll. I found that pretty amusing.

I hope the league does come down hard on them for this. This shit can't be allowed to happen.
