Admitting we did is your 1st step. Thanks for that.
How can you be accused if you haven't been caught. Maybe some coaches, or their assistants get fired because they have used inside info for their past successes. Nope, not anyone that ever coached for the Colts. Wake Up America!

I think i would like to see you on a poker table.

 

Anyone can be accused of something. The NFL investigated that claim and cleared the Colts. They didn't pipe in noise. 

 

The Falcons were also accused. They were found to have piped in noise, and admitted to it.

Let's stay with Your point that we got caught cheating if you could.

Were we warned and kept doing it? Maybe got a letter. Why did we do that?

Maybe to interrupt the flow of info from the sidelines or for the QB to change plays? That would be a Competitive advantage by CHEATING. We DID IT! We were Caught. Our Vannila organization has a Record. Shame.
 I explained a simple scenario how things can go on in the NFL.
I think it went over your head, kinda like you having admitted saying we were caught cheating. Kind of a waste to go on with this if that is how you deal with this discussion.

Look at the bright side we do not have to hear from the blabbering media and Rams fans that Jared freakin Goff is better than Andrew Luck because he won a ring  . That is all Seahawks fans blabbed about after Wilson won a SB. Brady blocked him too from winning ring #2 which I am ok with. Peyton blocked Cam Newton as well . Time for Luck to win one now.

And probably all football fans, life sucks right now. Im really tired of being subjected to this year after year. I honestly didnt even watch the game just because I really didnt think the rams had a chance.

 

As a Colts fan, I have to confess resentment (mostly borne of jealousy, if I’m being honest) of the Patriots’ dominance of the NFL these past 18 years.  I wish my beloved Colts could be the team hoisting Lombardi after Lombardi.

 

As a football fan, though, I’m in awe.  It’s *hard* to win in the NFL.  Every franchise, every executive, every coach, every player....they’re all doing everything they can to win championships.  But, out of 32 teams, only one can wear the crown.  And these guys have done it 1 out of every 3 years for nearly two decades....despite free agency, despite the salary cap, despite low draft positions, despite so many of their assistants being hired away.

 

Love them or hate them, I think everybody should at least have some level of appreciation for what the Belichick/Brady era Patriots have accomplished.  The league is designed for parity, and they’ve beaten the house.

[King Colt 1,604]

What a bunch of cry babies screaming "cheaters". No objective reasoning for the Colts being better than the Pats because they are not. The Pats just beat the best offense of the season allowing them three points. The Pats last the toss and TB was intercepted on their first possession @ 12.06 and slammed the door on the Rams first possession. Wade Philips, maybe the best defense coaches fell short. The NE defense got it done plain and simple. Game over. Season over. Whining about the Pats for some reason is not over.

This was an uplifting year for us.

 

Unfortunately, I'm one of those who has a difficult time ignoring all of the cheating scandals associated with the Pats.  For me, it clouds their accomplishments.  I know I should let it go..but it's not in my DNA.  

 

Huh?    

 

I think you confused me with someone elses.

 

Since I've been here,  I was among the leaders in building a case against the Pats in Deflategate.   And I ripped Kraft for his rude and crude behavior toward the NFL.

 

I was among the leaders in complaining about the Pats running a trick formation against Baltimore in the playoffs.    At the following owners meeting,  there was 20 rule change proposals.   One passed.    The one about the Pats trick formation which is now outlawed.   (Not claiming my posts had anything to do with that,  just saying...)

 

And I was also among the leaders here when the Pats stole McDaniels back from the Colts.   I called for heavy fines and loss of draft picks for the injury that the Pats deliberately inflicted on the Colts.   And I called for the NFL to rule that going forward what the Patriots did with McDaniels should be outlawed.  So far,  that has not happened.

 

If you think I've rarely questioned the Pats,  you're 100% mistaken.     I don't know what else I was supposed to do or say.   About the only thing you could point to is that I think Brady has clearly earned the title of GOAT QB over Peyton.    That's it.    But I'm hardly alone over that.

Id be lying if I said I don't hate the pats, but you can't just turn a blind eye to all of the controversy surrounding how they win

 

We can talk about the "cheating" that is well documented all we want. They were not the only team doing those "well documented" horrible things those years. It's been proven to be quite the opposite of that. They got caught trying to get a small advantage. If Bill belichick was punished each time he got a small advantage,they wouldnt have a team. That's what makes him great. He finds loopholes, he finds nuances in the rulebook to exploit, and no one can out hustle/smart him on it. Deflategate was more embarrassing for the Colts franchise than it was for the Patriots, I promise you that. Spygate was something many teams did, and many indirectly admitted to. 

 

To consistently bring up "cheating" to tarnish the Patriots winning, is a joke. I'm sorry. Admit you are a hater and a biased one at that and move on. They've won 6 superbowls. It's more impressive than your posting on here.

And the play before Cooks couldn’t haul in the TD, just like in the third quarter.

 

I get that those would have been incredibly tough plays to make, but in a defensive battle like that, you need to make those plays to pull ahead. Case in point, Gronk’s catch to set up first and goal.

 

Thats what the Pats do. They don’t play perfect, but they make the big play when it counts.

I agree, you have to take that (making the big play when it counts) as an opportunity.  Every game has more than one play that fans look back on and say "If only blah blah had blah blah blah, we would have won that game."  If only Goff had not thrown that INT... If only the Rams coaches had been prepared for that Cover 4 or zone or whatever the Pats played.  If only Gronkowski had not caught that pass.... You can go on and on about this. A lot of plays not made by the Rams. A lot of plays made, mostly on defense, by New England.  There is something to their system.  Why can't a copycat league copy it?

Dungy said 'teams steal signals, and have for a long time.' He also highlighted the difference between looking at another team's signals, and videotaping those signals and breaking down the defensive play calls from the booth during the game. 

 

The NFL warned the Patriots about videotaping defensive signals, then investigated them, then penalized them. Which is a clear signal that what the Patriots did was beyond what any other team was accused of or caught doing.

 

And then there's the evidence that the Patriots videotaped other teams' walkthroughs, which no other team has even been accused of.
