Six Years Later: Patriots Accused of Filming Rams Before Super Bowl XXXVI - FanHouse - AOL Sports Blog

DUH. No one team can win that much, unless they are Cheating. They are NOT that good. Above average, yes... However with all the Cheating they do, thats why they have the record they do. Because of the 1 game, eairler this season, that the NFL fined them for, they should not be able to be where they are now. & For "all you's" out there, that say "Every Team Does it" ..., No other Team got fined, & Lost a pick in the Draft, did they.


I Hope the Gmen slamn them sooooooooooooooooooooooo Hard tommorrow.

Wow the looks like The Pats got some more explaining to do...You think if this is proven to be true they'd be stripped of that title? if it's true which i'm sure it is,they should give the other 1st round pick to the Rams and get fined again

As much as I hate the Pats, knowing the other teams' playbook is not enough. The Pats are clearly a great team with tons of talent...the so-called cheating was just icing on the cake.

Having said that...

GO GIANTS!!!

Interesting, but at the end of the day it all sounds like sour grapes. No team has been under as much scrutiny as the Pats this year and they won despite all of it. Look at my favorite team...The Dallas Cowboys. One story about Romo and Jessica and the team lets a banner year and 13 pro-bowl picks get flushed because Romo can't handle it. I was so ****ed when they choked to the Giants. And that's just what it was...choked. The Patriots are a great team because they have demonstrated resolve and most importantly maturity in the face of so much criticism. I don't care who you are or what team you love. When you can beat all of the best teams the league has to offer, that is a statement all by itself.

This filming scandal also holds a great degree of hypocrisy in the manner by which games are broadcast anyway. How many times has Fox or NBC been right in the face of the coaches, especially Belichik, when he's making calls late in the game during close matches? Overhead cameras even put you in the huddle with sound when their calling plays. W-T-F?!!!!

I played this sport for 8 years and I'm here to tell you a team can't go undefeated because of a stupid camcorder during ONE game. I can't tell you how many times we knew what play was being called but we still couldn't stop them or vice-versa. Knowing is never enough. You still have skill sets at each position and plus there's variations to every play.

A good team can run over you with an open game book if you don't match up well against them. Here's an example... We'll run a 'four man deep' and we'll select the author of this thread, Bobbait, to play deep safety. Now Moss has been running deep patterns sporatically during the game and he's noticed Bobbait does not have the speed or jumping ability he has. Bobbait knows on the next play (by their formation) they most likely will be throwing it deep ...and possibly to Moss. What is Bobbait going to do? He can hang back and wait, but ultimately if he's mismatched against Moss he's not likely to bat the pass away or intercept it since Moss can out jump him. That is only ONE of many, many different ways teams watch their opposition during a game. It's through those player to player match ups that teams formulate and adjust strategies throughout the course of a game. If your receiver comes off the field and tells you his coverage is wearing down, you'll ask your coach in the booth to watch the next series. If that looks to be the case, you'll throw in that direction or run that direction to exploit that weakness. That is where the game is won.
