And no moreso than by this teams own judgemental fanbase. That's the sad thing. This is done by other teams to blunt what we do. Notice we aren't talking about what this team did to the JETS yesterday but what some JETS official has accused our FO of doing. To keep their fans from calling them out demanding to know why do you let them make us look like dunderheads after we chest thumped on message boards all week, and while we're at it why can't you make our franchise as successful as their's is. Throwing out the "cheating" card just makes them all feel better about each other. Not sure what the fascination is with this fan base, but then again they are critical to extreme like spoiled children who can no longer be satisfied.
If they had a brain cell left between them in Buffalo, they'd be watching game tape from yesterday looking for things they might fix on their team and not wasting time looking at film of a year old game when we dominated them because they always figured we might have been cheating to accomplish that...
At times like this this fan base is often it's own worst enemy. It's a mentality the Boston media long ago created covering another team. It was somewhat understandable since they hadn't won in 86 years. It is less defensible when it persists for a franchise that has won half of it's league's championships contested in the last 6 years.

Neither am I. I think it's easier to go to last post read or last post in a consolidated thread than to wade through multiple threads on the same topic only to find nothing new, just more opinions. Seems to be the policy here to merge redundant threads for that reason, keeping the board manageable and free for good new threads to have a shot at getting noticed. IMHO people who start new threads on the same topic are just looking for more focused attention on their opinion. Face it, there is nothing new or additional here. That's the problem. That, and it's just attracting more trolls...
Bingo!!!!!!!!!

This is known as "bad luck." RAH
The Pats and Jets should play a 2 AM game at a high-school stadium and the teams should be on the same sideline. Oh yeah, this game would not be televised. Guess what. The Patriots would still beat their butts.
Again, for the love of CHRIST, if you would actually READ the post that initiated this thread, you would see that that was not at ALL my intention in STARTING this thread. I can't control that it veered back into something that became redundant.
Why not, instead of this judgmental B.S., get the topic back on point and discuss how the team will be moving forward from here?
With this and Rodney's HGH episode, I have to admit to feeling a little bummed. We can't claim the high horse anymore, that's for sure. It's like looking at someone's play when they choose it in Madden. Bush league, even if everyone does it.
I still don't get the big deal with this whole thing. It's just something else the crybaby losers of the NFL are doing to combat the big, bad Patriots because they can't win any other way. Yeah, the Jets made the playoffs last year, but does anyone really see them as a threat? Does anyone really think BB needs some stupid videotape to beat Mangini and that bad football team? Here's a newsflash for you kid, even if the Jets had Patriots playbook, they still could not have won that game!
Oh and let me guess, you always drive the speed limit, assuming you are old enough to drive, you always keep your eyes on your own test in school, you help old ladies across the street with bundles of groceries and you don't look at porn. Right??
In my expirience, the most pious among us are the worst sinners..
If a high school football team can videotape its games, and if every NFL team has about 20 cameras rolling, why can't a team staff member videotape the game? What kind of magic signals would he pick up on video that every player on the sideline wouldn't be able to see for himself?
Was he on the Jets sideline, listening in on meetings? Was he in the huddle? I'm really confused about this whole thing: how can he "steal" signals that are in plain sight, and - if true - what benefit would the Pats get from that video that they couldn't pickup through players and game video?
"(Brady) seemed like he knew what we were doing," safety Kerry Rhodes said. "Whether it was a blitz or coverage, he made all the right checks. I guess we have to do a better job of disguising our looks."
Do I smell self-righteousness burning on the hot sidewalk? Talk about ultimate hypocrisy! Good point, Bella.
LOL, if you have just made a sly reference to my own screenname, you are quite clever. But I think the difference is I don't really care enough to go spouting off about Merriman's shady past on Charger's MBs.*
*(If there are any, lol)

Re: The ultimate result of the videotape...
Good point, Bella.
