No, they will take away 2008 draft picks for the Patriots.

Signal-stealing would have a big impact on the game - Nimrod... You would be able to decipher signals for the 2nd-half & especially in all rematch games (i.e.: playoffs). If the allegations are true, then - yes, they're low-down dirty cheaters. I for one, (if again the allegations are true) believe if Bonds gets an asterisk without ever actually being caught - the Pats Super Bowl wins should also get an asterisks!!! I don't think they can take away the rings - what's done is done - but definitely asterisks, plus they should lose a bunch of draft picks... How much easier would your play-calling & especially audible calling be if you new what package the defense is in? I really don't see much of a difference - cheating is cheating & the Pats are too good to lower themselves to that level, but if they did - that's dispicable! SAD 'n' SHADY - SAD 'n' SHADY...

In the span of a 40 second time clock, the coaches have to decipher the video of the Jets coaches shot from 60 yards away with no audio, figure it out and relay it to Brady who then has to figure it out and explain it to his teammates, who then have to look at the defense and figure out what brady told them.
right.
Anyone who thinks this had an impact on the game is completely clueless about football in general. If anything, it could only be used after the game to analyze what the jets reactions to certain plays and situations were. This serves no real time benefit whatsoever.

I heard it was not the first time the Pats have been caught. Signal theft is a part of the game...you shouldn't have to steal signals from the JETS though.

It's a lot more than just 1 game. Something should be done about this. This is ridiculously pathetic. Bill Bilichick should step up like a man and admit to it. Then all seasons pasts that they were doing this, should be forfitted and SuperBowls revoked!
The end.

It would be nice for them to just strip the win without giving it to the Jets. If the Pats are found guilty, they deserve to lose that notch in the win column.

No way... But the NFL may fine the Patriots a lot of $$$ or suspend someone on the coaching staff if found guilty. Can you imagine Bill Belichick serving a two-game suspension? It could happen...

no, and i dont think that is even really cheating...that is why the coaches cover their mouths when they talk, because if they didnt, the other side could have someone who can read lips watching them. if the pats figured out a way to see the signals, then i dont think there is anythng that can be done about it
