Oh Boy.... "Spygate 2.0?"

[NEPatsfan]

Belichick would off himself the first time he had to sit and listen to Danny. Snyders influence is so powerful not even Emperor Bill could overcome it.



100!

Nah, he would just snort, and give him the death stare, causing Snyder to sell the team to someone more competent as an owner.

Something like this calls for one of the harshest penalties the NFL has ever handed down. Kraft isn't going anywhere, but Belichick should be banned from coaching the Pats ever again and forced instead to work for Dan Snyder. I know that sounds like too harsh of a punishment and a public execution would be more humane, but the NFL has GOT to set an example for all.

Couldn't they force him to coach the Cowboys?

"Your team is going to cheat to get every advantage possible in order to have a 20+ season run of excellence. In return, every 10 years your team will be fined and docked draft picks but you will win at least a half-dozen superbowls."


Name me an NFL fan that wouldn't accept that scenario every time.

Yep. I wish the Cowboys were cheating or at the very least cheat better.

That's impossible.










Oh, wait........ Hell I'd be more competent as an owner. OK you win.

On top of that force Brady to play for the Bengals, the thought of playing to 50 will be permanently removed from his thought process

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Just like the vast statistical improbability that they would've fumbled that much less than the rest of the league

 

[Manster7588]

If this whole thing grows legs, I'm gonna throw rocks at Pat's fans, but full disclosure I think INTEL should be allowed in sports as long as it's not stollen, (hidden cameras would be stealing) bought, or given by inside sources. If a team can figure out how to get a camera openly in use I say alls fair.

 

[Manster7588]

On top of that dye Bradys hair red and force him to play for the Bengals, the thought of playing to 50 will be permanently removed from his thought process

You missed something. FIFY.

 

[FlyerFinFan]

The league obviously can't keep up with their obnoxious level of cheating so they may as well level the playing field at this point. Let it all go for every team and balance it out. Otherwise it's just another *

 

[mrschaney]

Zac Taylor only has about 7 plays in his playbook. Surely the Pats weren't trying to figure that out?

 

[HammerDown]

I wonder if anyone has any data on how many offensive holding calls get called on them vs. the NFL average.

There's a noticeable dearth of Pats fans in this thread, isn't there?

not only that but not many are posting in this thread either!!

 

[Sparhawk]

Eh, dock 'em a couple of draft picks.

Then, they should have to give up three of their championships.
But, they can pick which 3.
Film the process, with dramatic interviews from players past and present that might wind up losing a ring.
A regular Sophie's Choice, if you will....

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Lmao- the hot takes are a-firin'

 

[redseat]

This has to be that gay dolphins fan who always takes pictures of himself on Facebook and puts them in every sports post

Felipe or whatever his name is

I've been as annoyed as any other non-Patriots fan with their obscene amounts of success as a franchise the past nearly two decades. Having said that, nothing has made me think they've done anything more shady than the rest of the teams in the league in the way of gaining unfair advantages in games.

I think it's mostly to do with the fact that people are a lot more likely to freak out and overreact if they get caught doing anything even remotely suspicious. Goodell drops the hammer on them the hardest for the same reason. People are envious of their success and are eager to see them get burned one way or the other.

When it comes down to it, quit whining and stop them if you're upset about it. Actually beat them. Maybe one of the teams in their division could actually be less than complete and utter crap except for like 2 of those seasons the Patriots have been dominant. I know my Vikings always got destroyed whenever they played the Pats in the Brady/Belichick era, and I blame my team for sucking so badly to lose every single game they played against them.

I think there is still a lot to come out on this but if the patriots have cheated again it has to be a 1 year suspension for Belichek and a $10M fine. Those are bare minimums .

IF Belichick was arrogant enough to do this again, the Pete Rose treatment would be called for.
