With all the ill will being reported against the Pats let's see how BB uses this to his advantage.

There's nothing like saying you aren't as good as you are when someone calls you a cheater.

Exactly. Could this be BB's trump card hand that he's been wanting to play all along? Stay tuned!

Well the question I have is are the Pats players angry at the coaches or are they just fired up to prove people wrong?

Oh no, Tom Jackson is here

Just kidding, it's a valid point but I bet Bill has them focused on SD now.

Why would they be angry at the coaches? This stuff is done throughout the league and has been done for decades.

They have tons to be pissed off about though.

Is it possible that this whole thing is being blown out of proportion?
Seriously. I mean, if they were illegally listening in on the jet headsets or something, I would say it was pretty bad.
But are people making this all out to be something bigger than it is?
Just hoping maybe.
Safe to say that if it were say, Arizona, less would be made of it. Right?

They called players cheaters too...... Rodney????

It pretty much minimized their win. Thing that stinks is we have to listen to this for the rest of the week until another distraction comes.

The uproar has given the Pats all the justification they need to blow every team they face out of the water and run up the score as high as they can make it..starting with the SD Chargers. I almost feel sorry for them.

This is the key here and it highlights my only concern(s) which are: 1.)Is this going to affect the Patriots play going forward in the sense that they do use these signals? and 2.) like Kdo5 said, will this motivate the players to use the media and league disrespect card?, or are they disappointed in the coaching staff? If they are, this could be very bad.

Hopefully this is an unspoken back room things in the league that has been going on for years and the players will understand that and focus their aggression outward toward the rest of the league.

This kind of stuff has gone on in the league for years. The players now have to sit and listen to all this bulls**t talk about tainted Lombardi trophies. You think they're not going to motivated?

A favorite tactic of basketball coaches when their team is not playing well and lacks focus is to get themselves ejected from the game (such as through successive technical fouls). the result is that the team is suddenly jolted and and becomes focused. Go Pats.:singing:

 

[mgteich]

The team will be focused. They always are. They would be focused even if dante is coaching. BTW, I don't think that the commissioner would hand out a suspension that included this Sunday's game.

My gut feel is that there is a reasonable chance that Belichick will not be coaching the game against the Bills. I certainly hope that you ar all right, and that I am wrong. But then I hoped that this morning when most of you thought that this was a hoax, a conspiracy and a bad dream.

Well ya see if I was BB, this is what I would do...

Buy tapes of Jets games like the dolphins did to us and give them to the jets opponent every single week the whole season.

But thats just what I would do
