If Mangini didn't try to screw the Pats then what would our record be now?

[PATRIOT64]

Without Mangini starting the cameragate issue and us losing a draft pick and the fines and the negative media loudmouths and the asterisk talk and all - did this have an effect on us being undefeated? or say if we were still the NFL darlings like in 2001 would we still be 13-0 and beating opponents by 40 on a regular basis this year?

Its hard to pinpoint what emotion can do to a team - Look at how emotion almost took below average teams like the Ravens and Eagles up to the level of beating us yet the next week against a raggedy opponent,they fall back to reality.

Has emotion given us a few more wins that normally would have been a loss or two in any normal year or would it not have mattered one bit?

Does it really matter? As BB would say, "It is what it is". We were a good team when the season started and I think the outcome would still be the same...spygate or no spygate.

dont you think they would be winning by more points if they had an unfair advantage?

13-0.

The Patriots were trying to win games because they were a football team;

Tom Brady tried to throw TDs because he is QB;

Moss tried to catch passes b/c he is a WR.

Those fools in the media that pretend like the only reason the Patriots are winning games is because they are mad they got in trouble for the illegal placement of a camera, are just that fools.

If it wasn't for spygate, Pats would still be 13-0 and would still be dominating team. And the coach would still be dressing funny.
