sparky151 579 Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Losing a 3rd round pick is significant. They got caught vs us but didn't need to cheat to beat us so we weren't cheated out of anything. Link to post Share on other sites

They obviously felt like they needed to cheat or they wouldn't have done it. They didn't win anything. They cheated. The outcome is meaningless when someone cheats. Link to post Share on other sites

They filmed the Jets. They deflated balls. They filmed the Bengals. They are doing this shit all the time. This time the guy doing the filming was a moron to get caught. With their history it should have been a first round pick. Link to post Share on other sites

No, their media operation filmed the Bengals sideline. The coaching staff didn't have access to the video. No advantage gained by the Patsies. Link to post Share on other sites

Caught cheating several times before, which means they're probably always cheating. Then they do this thing that they know is strictly against the rules but not because it gave them an advantage? Guess they were just bored? They didn't watch the tapes like Goodell didn't watch the tapes of Ray Rice Link to post Share on other sites
Jupiter Fan 101 Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 We should get the pick. The cash is nothing to Kraft, he's spent way more than that defending his Happy Endings down here in Jupiter Link to post Share on other sites

Do you really think the times they didn’t get caught it wasn’t passed along? The coaching staff never has to see the film. Why should they waste their time with that? Someone else can easily watch the film and make some determinations on what certain sideline signs/gestures mean...and then just report their findings. That way the coaching staff can say honestly say that they never see the film. Link to post Share on other sites

Bilicheat can say that he and the coaching staff would never see any of the films that this crew makes...and they wouldn’t be lying...and at the same time would be feigning innocence.

No chance a control freak like Belichick allows non-football staff to analyze video that could influence his decisions. They are lying like they always do. Why would they even need plausible deniability? In general they get away with cheating all the time. I do agree that the punishment was way too light for a habitual offender. There was little outrage from other owners because it was Mike Brown. The other owners hate Brown even more than they do Kraft. Link to post Share on other sites

I mean.. he basically takes money out of their pockets and then complains about how they earned it. That sanctimonious "Redeemer" bullshit is easy to hate even when you're not subsidizing his entire extended family. Link to post Share on other sites
