But, even if true, and even if the Patriots were sanctioned, and even if they did have to give up draft picks, those picks don't get reassigned to us. They simply get forfeited by the offending team.
There's no doubt in my mind this is true. And there's no doubt in my mind it had an effect on the blitz packages we were calling. How big of an effect? Who knows. They're still in a different class then the Jets are. But still, I'd like to see how Tom terrific can perform when he doesn't know the blitz is coming.
I suppose this is the place....my bro-in-law's best friend is a plumber. the B-I-L says the plumber friend was called to the Meadowlands in an emergency late Saturday night. As he was following some pipe to find a leak, he opened up a supply room. He was surprised to find someone in a Patriots jacket in the room. The other guy was surprised too. He was running some sort of cables through what he dexscribed as a "funny looking" hole in the wall. The plumber said the guy said something about "press box wiring." My B-I-L didn;t think anything of it until he heard about this cheating thing. If Goodell doesn't forfeit the game, then that's proof the fix is in.
Same thing is posted on ESPN http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3012989 Says they confiscated a camera.
well that explains why we couldnt rush the passer, why ferguson got his ass kicked and why barrett got set on fire by moss. it all makes sense now.
According to ESPN News - in the Breaking News corner, the NFL confiscated a video tape from the Pats - I just saw this around 3:25. We'll see what happens.
The Pats are the better team. The Pats cheating are a far better team. Screw them. We'll beat them in there place again.
Sources: Camera confiscated after claims of Pats spying on Jets By Chris Mortensen ESPN.com (Archive) Updated: September 10, 2007, 2:56 PM ET NFL security confiscated a video camera and its tape from a New England Patriots employee on the team's sideline during Sunday's game against the Jets in a suspected spying incident, sources said. The camera and its tape were placed in a sealed box and forwarded to the league office for investigation, the sources said. "We don't have any comment," an NFL spokesman said Monday. The Patriots' cameraman was suspected of aiming his camera at the Jets' defensive coaches who were sending signals to their unit on the field, the sources said. The league also is investigating some radio frequency issues that occurred during the game. The league's competition committee could conduct a conference call about the incident, which violates NFL policy, and ultimately recommend a penalty that could cost the Patriots a future draft pick or picks if it verifies that the team was spying on the Jets. "It's not their first time," a member of the committee, who did not wish to be identified, said. In fact, Green Bay Packers president Bob Harlan confirmed a similar incident that occurred when the Patriots played at Lambeau Field last Nov. 19. The same cameraman who was questioned by NFL security on Sunday was also the one whom the Packers removed from the sideline and escorted from the field during their 2006 game, according to Packers security official Doug Collins. "From what I can remember, he had quite a fit when we took him out," Harlan said. "We had gotten word before the game that they [the Patriots] did this sort of thing, so we were looking for it." A Jets official declined comment Monday, directing an inquiry to the league office. The Patriots also did not have immediate comment. _____________________________________________________________ Unreal. This really puts a bad name on the Pat's org if it's true. Which it probably is IMO. But I'm a JETS fan there for biased and pleased to see them go down in flames.
Any filming that is done during the game could never be practically applied in the game. If anything, it would be used in future games. Any Jets fan who thinks this had an impact on yesterday's game is fooling herself.
