they are sick of taking all the blame for something lots of teams were doing

I'm amazed that Pats fans (which I am not) continue to say this as if it were proven fact. You don't even say "probably doing", just "were doing". This is fascinating because I haven't seen any proof that any of the other 31 teams did this, but I'd be happy to look at any articles or evidence that someone can provide me.

Not only did Belichick get caught doing it against Green Bay last year, a memo was sent out basically saying "DONT DO IT!" and then he did it again in the first game of the season.

Playing the "Patriots as the victim" card is so ridiculous.

The Patriots aren't victims, but they're not the villains everyone is trying to make them out to be.

Tough to say. I agree the players' accomplishments and reputations were probably unfairly tarnished by their coach's decision to cheat. But I think Belichick is EVERY BIT the villain he is made out to be.

And if their reputation and accomplishments have been brought into question, they go out there and they're like "We're just gonna play football, do our thing" etc(humble pie), but then why are they jumping around and spiking footballs on a TD that makes it 45-0 in the 4th?

I almost get the vibe like Belichick has this wacked out mentality and it's starting to trickle down to the players.
