At least we know Belichick will be sticking it out to win 3 "legit" SBs - New England Patriots Forums

If there was any doubt as to whether this was BB's last season or not, I'm pretty sure we can all be confident that he's going to try his best to shut everyone up and "win without cheating."

Gotta keep looking at that silver lining.

Well, it'd certainly be disconcerting if we suddenly sucked, wouldn't it?

We've already seen what a Patriots team sans videotape can do. 38-14.

I think the Pats are far to talented to suddenly suck, but when it comes to the playoffs everyone is talented or they wouldn't be there. I would say that would be where the biggest advantage would be. Still you have to wonder if the Pats are as good as the fans here think they are, why cheat????

Don't you think that if this gave the Patriots such an advantage that they would have been able to produce one or two more first downs with under 4 to play in the 4th in the AFCCG against the Colts last year. That's all they would have needed to wind down the clock and move on to the Super Bowl. Think about that.

Sometimes what you got is just not good enough.

True, Caldwell, Brown, Watson and Evans were certainly not enough to pull this game out. Also, the talent left on defense after injuries and illness apparently wasn't good enough either. But I'd say that if this signal garbage was as strong of an advantage as feelmypain offers then we would have determined defensive alignment or number/timing of colt blitzers enough times to gain those needed extra firsts near the end.

Funny how the Pats lose to one of the Teams that complained the hardest about the Pats cheating, maybe whatever the Colts did in the second half wasn't what BB was expecting them to do, who knows. But the Pats seemed to have a real problem scoring in the second half of that game last year against one of the worst defenses in the league. At some point you have to wonder if the Pats did nothing wrong why were they fined? I don't think the league just had an agenda,

Or, the colts stole our signals which explains their comeback...must be. Fine them now.
