Spygate 2 penalties announced.

NFL so corrupt, I truly believe that the perceived downfall of the team w/o Brady played into the decision. IE : they aren’t as much of a threat anymore so the penalty is « lighter ».

Bourne Again Christian · Jun 28, 2020

Should of been no penalty

The NFL has taken away 19 draft picks away from teams since 1980. 5 of those 19 picks (26%) were from the Patriots. No team other then the Patriots have lost a 1st round pick (we lost 2)

First round draft pick (spygate)
First round draft pick (deflate gate)
Third round draft pick (injury report fibbing)
Third round draft pick (tv crew filming)
Fourth round Draft pick (deflate gate)

Now compare a team like the Broncos who were caught paying both Terrel Davis and John Elway millions under the table to circumvent the salary cap and win back to back superbowls and their punishment??.... A 2nd round pick

NFL has it out for the Pats

You're about 13 years late to the party.

So on the day the Pats sign Cam Newton, the NFL decides to punish us?

At least Bill wasn't involved. If he were, he would have been suspended.

This dogsh*t post on Rotoworld demonstrates the biggest problem with the penalty. This is exactly how it is going to be spun nationally. Even though BB likely had zero to do with it, it will be used by the haters to tarnish his legacy and tarnish the Pats dynasty. Nice job, Bobby.

The NFL needs to make it clear in their statement that football operations had nothing to do with it...but they probably won't.

The penalty itself can not be surprising to anyone on this board.
While its true that the film gave no competitive advantage whatsoever

BB admitted they they broke a rule AND
they had previous infraction(s).
They were not going to get away scot free.

The third rounder stings however, especially if its a high third rounder.

This one is on Kraft and Bill. It was mistake that never should have happened.

I am so beyond ****ing tired of this. A third round pick?

9 month investigation and what are the results that warrant the theft of more picks?

I hope Krafty Bob gets a nice video product or if the deal

The 3rd rounder is ridiculous but if the Bengals were as angry as they are reportedly were- and some other teams were too- then the league wasn’t going to do nothing. The other stuff are Kraft penalties. This is basically an admission the investigation concurred with the Pats side of the story. If it didn’t we would need a new coach and lose a lot more than this. This is not cheating and the NFL agreed.

Pretty stupid thing to point a camera anyway at the sidelines with their history. Hopefully they learned their lesson.

coupled with zero punishment for Bluetooth guy this is next-level bull excrement

Complete and total horseshit.

3rd round pick since it was a 2nd time offense. This incident alone at most warranted a 5th or 6th round pick but NE's history basically doubled the penalty.

“staffers?” No. These weren’t staffers. They were contractors with no relationship to the football operations. F the NFL

Why is it on BB? It was a Ktaft filming I thought.

always the revisionist history buffs with their capitulation speeches ready to roll. BB had ZERO....NOTHING to do with this travesty. Get educated completely on a subject matter before you make these proclamations

So, basically, the Pats need to get everything right 100% of the time even when a supposed infraction wasn't by the football ops part of their organization. No wiggle room for honest mistakes. Good to know.

That.

And either repeal the Ideal Gas Law in the Gillette Stadium. Or somehow climate control and outdoor stadium.

This is a bad look for BB.
