NO. They did what everyone in the league does, they got ratted on and busted. That does not diminish what they've done. They did not win one game because of spying, they won all of their games because they are better - plain and simple. If you don't think this kind of stuff goes on in other sports, you're crazy - doesn't make it scrupulous, but it doesn't diminish the accomplishments of the teams - they still have to execute on the field.

What cheating? You assert it like it is something ongoing. They tried to videotape the Jets signs on the first game of the season and got caught before they could use the video. They probably are the cleanest team in the NFL with the scrutiny that they are under. They are 15-0, but it is all meaningless unless they win the Superbowl.

Unlike bigskye I think it does diminish what they have done they only got caught once but more than likely got where they are by consistently cheating against every team they played this season.they are good no dought about that but when you have cheated and noted the other teams defense you no dought have an advantage

of course it does - they were caught cheating and the NFL did not punish them in the same season they were caught cheating. The coach should have been suspended, this season, for at least one game as restitution. They are an embarrassment to the NFL and to the fans of their team.

Not at all, the NFL concluded that the camera incident, in no way impacted the outcome of the game, the tapes were never viewed...
Now stop beating this dead horse, and stop hating..
Go Patriots 15-0 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hehe... head meet wall.... this crowd of bandwagon patriot fans don't even think what the patriots have done is even cheating.
*_*
rofl...gotta love those still clinging to the "everyone does it" excuse. if your team is busted for cheating...don't you hang your head in shame? pats fans, no... they ignore the facts and continue to drink the kool aid.
"Not at all, the NFL concluded that the camera incident, in no way impacted the outcome of the game, the tapes were never viewed..." is in the same vein as "the police have concluded that officer fuhrman did nothing wrong" ... of COURSE the league has concluded what they have...it is in their best interest to hide every bit of this from public view, they have a billion dollar business to protect.

Hey Jetsover -
So the Pats STILL aren't as good as the Cowboys OR the Colts? Really? Gee, what do they have to do in order to prove to YOU that they're better than both teams? I mean, besides beating both teams in their own stadiums, that is?
You know your football...not.

I really don't care about this anymore because whether they cheat or not, they're still not as good as the Colts or the Cowboys. They're going to get pounded in a rematch. That is, if the Pats can even get to the AFC Championship game or the Super Bowl.

They don't cheat very well -- one thing they obviously suck at. So no -- it hasn't diminished anything that they have done.
