If the Pats were taping the Bengals sideline, they should get a big fine, lose a high draft pick and Belichick should be suspended the rest of the season. The last time they got caught, they lost a first round draft pick, Belichick got fined $500,000.00 and the Patriots got fined $250,000.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 https://www.yahoo.com/sports/patriots-video-reportedly-focused-on-bengals-sideline-for-8-minutes-165756729.html Patriots video reportedly focused on Bengals sideline for 8 minutes The New England Patriots are in the middle of a hot mess right now concerning one of their video crews filming the sideline of the Cincinnati Bengals game on Sunday. The news broke on Monday afternoon and things have only gotten messier and more suspicious since. According to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic, the tape from the Patriots’ film crew contains eight minutes of direct Bengals sideline footage. Sources who viewed the recording told Dehner that it shows Bengals players running on and off the field as well as coaches calling plays. Eight minutes of direct sideline footage is a lot for it to be a mistake or an accident. However, in the statement released by the Patriots, they claim that it was just that. They said that the film crew wasn’t aware of league rules and unintentionally violated NFL policy by filming the Bengals sideline. New England Patriots ✔@Patriots Statement from the New England Patriots. 9,424 9:34 PM - Dec 9, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 4,563 people are talking about this They claim that the footage was never intended to be used for anything other than the “Do Your Job” video feature the crew was working on, and head coach Bill Belichick told WEEI that he and the football operations people have nothing to do with video production. WEEI ✔@WEEI Bill Belichick on @OMFonWEEI addresses report of Patriots video at Bengals Browns game. 687 6:08 PM - Dec 9, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 377 people are talking about this Still, eight minutes of direct sideline footage is really a lot for it to be an accident. If it was intentional, it would explain why the cameraman reportedly asked if they could just delete the footage when he was being interviewed by Bengals security. Dianna ✔@diannaESPN · 20h A source tells me a Bengals employee was watching the videographer/cameraman who identified himself as a Robert Kraft employee. The Bengals employee kept an eye on that monitor, the shot was of the Bengals coaches and staff on the sidelines for the entire 1st quarter. Dianna ✔@diannaESPN the Bengals employee flagged media relations. Bengals security then interviewed the Kraft videographer. This was also taped. The cameraman asked if they could just delete the footage and it all be forgotten per sources 2,092 5:34 PM - Dec 9, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 814 people are talking about this The Patriots’ explanation definitely seems plausible. However, claiming that they’re shooting footage for a team video was one of the ready-made excuses the Patriots told their videographers to use during the original SpyGate, according to a 2015 report from ESPN. The Patriots could absolutely be telling the truth and SpyGate II could turn out to be just a big misunderstanding. But with New England’s history of cheating, they no longer get the benefit of the doubt. Their past makes it very difficult to assume that this was all an innocent mistake, and the inconsistencies in the story, the leaks coming from NFL sources, and the original SpyGate team video excuse make it even harder.

HavePityPlease Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Reading the above "we have nothing to do with it, we never saw anything, honest!" spiel, I can only chalk this up to "this is how they cheat now". Hire outside* consultants (*with rumours stating they were actually employees of Kraft), have them film some horseshit "TV segment" (that obviously no one in their right mind would give two shits about) and just scream ignorance. Way, WAY too convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still could end up with them drafting first and taking Chase Young and Burrows drops to us at 2. Or they could be picking second and trade up with us to assure they get Young. I think that would be the best scenario. Whatever, their game with Miami and ours loom large in the draft selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then we could take Chase Young who ain't too shabby a consolation prize and go quarterback next year. That was my original thinking for the draft and I'm still very OK with it. If we draft first or second, we're going to get one or the other. Win-Win for the Bengals, for a change. Of course, we could trade the pick to someone who wants Young and probably get a king's ransom in draft picks. Not too shabby, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase Young is more likely to succeed in the NFL but plays a less important position, and QB is also more of a need for us. Either one would be a reasonable selection.

I want #1 just so we can have the top pick in each round. That 2nd round there should be lots of trade opportunities as teams reset their board. It may even be enough to sneak back into the end of the 1st round if there's someone there and we want them to have that 5th year option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tua to Ross on the rehab field would be a potent combo. Tua could take the snap and limp as he dropped back to pass and Ross simply could drop a ball right in his hands.

stryker57 Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 what i find fishy is if they wanted to film their scouting documentary from the browns pressbox then film them scouting the browns. if there is side line and game film and they didnt inform the league and the bengals for permission ( which i believe we are told isnt allowed without the express permission from the league as seen on every game on tv) then they are guilty , for a 2nd offense , and they should be penalized in a scaling manner.

Driving him home from OSU last night and he goes on about how many times he didn't get caught (of course I already knew this). The idea that this hasn't been going on is laughable and the explanation is even more ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy D Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 They got caught trying to pick a pocket. But i would imagine this kind of gamesmanship is par the course for many teams, not just the pats. Enemy intel, getting a leg up, all that.
