'Spygate' all over again?: Texan suspicious of the Patriots’ play

I would say 7-10 percent over next closest teams is not just a little

I hate the patsies with a passion, but I got to kind of call bullshit here.

First, their home record isn't really a statistical anomaly as much as you say. Since 2002 and the new division format they are 1st, but its not far and away an anomaly. They are tops at 83%, ravens 76% colts 73%. Steelers 73%.. Someone has to be first and it's them.. All but the ravens of those teams had great QBs in this era, which isn't a coincidence. The patsies win because they have the best QB of the generation. The Pats are also tops on the road.it just suggests they've had great teams overall, not a surprise, but also nothing can be gleaned that's fishy...

As for their ability to come back in games.. It has mostly to do with having Brady at QB as well. You can only shut him down for so long and he can make most any receiving corps effective over the course of four quarters. Combine that with a coach who i dont think is God like many people, but i will recognize his biggest strength is and was always being good at making adjustments on the fly, we saw that first hand here and that's why they are never out of games.

Now if you want to argue they get the benefit of the doubt in most cases from the stripes, I'm all ears, because I believe that's true. But great players usually do get the benefit of the doubt from the officials. Montana got it, MJ in basketball, Gretzky in hockey.... It's natural when u are unsure of a call to err on the side of reputation..

But I don't think that hooded bastard is cheating. He would be stupid to do so after spy gate.

Patriots are 3-0 when trailing by 10+ points at halftime since Week 8. They were 3-20 in such games from 2002-12. @cpriceNFL

If they were cheating blatantly, wouldn't this record be not as bad from 2002-2012? Or did they just restart cheating this year? As much as I would find it hilarious the Pats are cheating again, I don't think anything points to it.

I have heard those headset theories and stuff and that does seems suspicious, but nobody has ever brought it up or studied it? Yeah the Pats got caught blatantly and I don't think they are cheating again. IF they are cheating again, I don't think Bill is dumb enough to get caught again so we'll never know.
