Penalties being considered for the Pats - UPDATED 1/1/2020

[borg]

Imagine calling up the contract company and asking them to cheat for you.

CIA always uses contractors for domestic spying

Wonder why Bob chose Blackwater Productions, a subsidiary of Treadstone Inc

 

[borg]

I don't want to see you celebrating here if the Pats win another SB...

Will that trigger your delicate sensibilities?

 

[Ladypatsfan]

Looks like the nfl wants to dock us a first every 5 to 6 years at this rate.

Meh, their first round picks suck anyway.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Yes, because television cameras are never showing the sidelines.

This isn’t the direction I was hoping it would go. In other words, we don’t believe Belichick and we’re not going to logically check and see if the Patriots have used this ruse in previous games...we are just going to see if any competitive advantage could have been gained and assume this was intentional. But I guess it’s possible this could be a good thing, since that’s a pretty obvious reason to discount cheating if literally you can’t even gain additional information from it.

This week? Well if true that’s a little different from the last investigation.

 

[They_Hate_We]

I'm not even going to waste the energy on the haters for this one. In their eyes, the damage is already done and all their whining and complaining is justified. They can have the message boards.
What scares me is I really see Goodell using his "frequent offenders" excuse to take away our 1st rounder. As ridiculous as deflategate and bountygate were, that jackass came down hard on us and the Saints.

This week? Well if true that’s a little different from the last investigation.

Probably not as much damaging evidence as the last time.
I firmly expect our first round pick to be lost, since this is a second offense He might take the 2nd round pick too. wouldn't surprise me if Jetdell does this. This team has been good for to long, they want it destroyed. A suspension wouldn't shock me either.
Heck Jetdell might take all day 1 picks. The vultures are gathering. The punishment must satisfy the rest of the league too.

 

[Froob]

Yes, because television cameras are never showing the sidelines.

This actually sounds promising for us in my opinion.

 

[Kid~Brady]

If that's the defense tuen we might as well let bill start serving that suspension now

Why - this wasn't a "football" operation, this was a "production" operation. Bill has nothing to do with that. Thats with Kraft's company.

 

[Kid~Brady]

This actually sounds promising for us in my opinion.

Agreed.

Sounds like the NFL probably already saw the tape and didn't see much, if anything at all.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

This week? Well if true that’s a little different from the last investigation.

Per the same source, the NFL is holding an owners meeting this week. I would expect the NFL wants this to be all out in the open, the timing couldn’t be any better for them to get things wrapped up, get questions, and move on.

Yeah, this is worrisome. These are the same guys who punished us because they didn’t understand that there was a relationship between temperature and air pressure. The actions of dumb and morally corrupt people are erratic.

 

[203Pat]

There is no rule where the Pat's have to get permission from the league or Bengals. There should be a 25K fine in which the team takes responsibility for the action of the production team.

They don’t need permission to shoot in the press box?

I’m guessing TEs would be included. ****!

Umm, actually that’s exactly what the NFL should do. What do you expect them to do? Not look at the tape? Seems like they are using a rational approach for once.

Encouraging, to say the least...

It would greatly annoy me since you are not a real Pats fan...
