Goodell and Walsh met on May 13, 2008, at which time Walsh told Goodell he and other Patriots employees were present at the Rams' walkthrough to set up video equipment for the game but that there was no tape of the walkthrough made; as a result, Goodell told the media no additional penalties would be brought against the Patriots. Less than 24 hours later, the Herald issued an apology for the article about the alleged walkthrough tape. Ignorance is easily fixable.
So after looking at that I was curious and looked into the fumble history of the various RB's over the years that played for NE and other teams. So below is the number of times each RB fumbled per 100 carries on other teams vs. 100 times carried for the Patriots. Other Team Fumbles per Hundred Carries C. Dillon 1.1 D. Woodhead 1.5 F. Taylor 1.1 S. Morris 2.0 B. Green-Ellis 2.0 Patriots Fumbles per Hundred Carries C. Dillon 0.9 D. Woodhead 0.8 F. Taylor 0.9 S. Morris 1.2 B. Green-Ellis 1.4 So each of these runners had less fumbles playing for the Patriots than they did playing for other teams. I think the sample size is not very large, only maybe a few fumbles skewed the data, but it confirms the theory.

"Obviously, the commissioner gets to handle things how he wants to handle them but if they wanted us to shut up about what happened, show us the tapes. Don't burn 'em." There were no tapes of the Rams walk through. The basis of his argument is flawed.
How about my high school when I was 14? It's basic football. Why are you even a fan of a team if you don't understand the rules? 7 people on the line of scrimmage. And it's a legal formation. Jesus... I know there are smart football people in here that find this opinion just plain ridiculous.
Belli made a pretty big emphasis on how he has his players practice with damaged footballs. He probably saw the next move of looking into stats and how the deflated football may have benefited his "star studded" cast at running back. He loved to bench green Ellis too
Wow. Makes one think this has been systemic cheating and not just an isolated incident. Makes one also wonder why all these non-fumbling Pats RBs have such a tough time holding onto the ball when they go to other teams. I challenge any Pats homer to explain a reason for this statistical anomaly. The stats don't lie and demonstrates to me that they have something that significantly sets them apart historically. Deflated balls would surely be one explanation.
Haha high school football is the NFL. Show me an NFL team that has ever used the formation. Should players be able to match up before the ball is snapped? Was the receiver that caught the ball ever declared eligible? I only heard one # called ineligible.
Wow. Just wow. You don't understand the game of football - and that is a problem for you, not me. And this sort of thing is why I'm waiting for evidence instead of just convicting the Patriots in the court of public opinion without any.
Wow. These cheaters have made cheating so systematic. Bellichick is truly an ugly super ugly human being. Fuck him. Fuck Boston. Fuck all Bostonians who are Pats fans and don't see this obvious cheating.
Bc goodell destroyed the tapes? "Any time that I was offset, I was always stationary," Faulk told ComcastSportsnet. "And we had (created) motioning in the backfield at the same depth on the other side of the field. And they created a check for it. It's just little things like that. "It's either the best coaching in the world when you come up with situations that you had never seen before. Or you'd seen it and knew what to do."
It's a formation that has never been used in the NFL before. There is a reason for that, and it's not bc bb is smarter.
JV28 your argument on formations defies logic and is an embarrassment, please just stop, it has nothing to do with this thread and you are coming off like a troll
At this point, I'm hardly even a fan. I like the Jets. Your team is the only fraud champion* You are loyal g
