I hate when teams punt when they should obv go for it. Do none of these guys play Madden?

[NT!]

maroney is such a [censored] punishing back when he actually runs forward

[NT!]

madden is calling a good game tonight. a good mix of those 'merriman made that play because they didn't block him' maddenisms and really useful insights.

I don't get all of the "LOLOL LIKE THE PATS NEED TO CHEAT LOOK AT THEM SCORE". They did cheat. Nothing they do this week changes that.

they sucked it up and took it, and now they are going to take it out on the league this year because they are absolutely [censored] stacked.

So why do you guys keep referencing it like it's some sort of rallying cry? Is it the Bostonian inferiority complex where you feel like the entire world is out to keep you from winning?

[SomethingClever]

I think any advantage that the pats got from videotaping the signals was small at best.

I just think the inevitable wave of, "LOLOLOL WE MUST HAVE BEEN CHEAING AMIRITE LOOK AT THE SCORE OMG" that we're going to get all week is annoying.

The pats are clearly really really really good, videotaping or no.

if this will console you, keep saying it

yes, the pats cheated, like a lot of other teams in the league did. they got caught, they sucked it up and took it, and now they are going to take it out on the league this year because they are absolutely [censored] stacked.

i hope you guys are still looking forward to seeing us in the playoffs, because it's definitely going to be in our house this year.

well, as a pats fan, the reason it pissed me off was because people are saying things like 'brady wouldn't be that good without cheating' or 'would they have won all those super bowls without cheating?'

when in fact any advantage they gained from this cheating was no more than what you would get from having a couple guys in the stands with binoculars writing stuff down and trying to decode it, which any NFL team doing their due diligence is going to have.

i can see why people are pissed off at them for doing it because it's arrogant and obnoxious, but what they basically did was get information in a lazy way that they should have had to work a tiny bit harder for.
