Audiodrama Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I think they should have to forfeit this win. Thats the just punishment.If they do it again, then they forfeit that game too and Belichick gets a 4 game Suspension.How surprising that Tank would come up with a stiff penalty against a Boston team. Try not to be a jealous homer for five seconds, okay? The punishment will most likely be some sort of draft pick elimination, and even possibly a one-game suspension of Belichick. Look, I'm not defending the Patriots in this instance. If they did what they're accused of doing, they should be justly punished for it. However, don't be so naive as to think the Pats are the only team in the league doing this. They only got busted because Mangini is so familiar with the system that he knew what was going on. There's a code of silence among teams in the league concerning issues like these, and the Jets ratted one of their peers out to the bosses. The Pats didn't cheat their way to three world championships. They just tried to get a competitive advantage like every other team does (recall the Miami Dolphins stealing Brady's snap counts last year).

Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 this whole cheating scandal will die off and all that will be remembered is Tom Brady being in the HOF, and the patriots being regarded as one of the great dynasties in the same light as Dallas, Pittsburgh, Green Bay and San Francisco.

Jezus_Ghoti Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Suspending Belichick and/or taking away draft picks are the only reasonable punishments. Barring them from the playoffs would turn into a fiasco. Taking away the win wouldn't be fair because the Jets didn't earn a win.I think taking away their draft picks can be a good punishment, as long as Goodell targets their top picks. Losing a 4th, 5th or 6th rounder (or even all 3) is nothing. If I'm not mistaken, the Patriots have 2 first round picks next year. Goodell should take them both. That's pretty stiff.

RyanB06 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I have no problem with the NFL taking draft picks from the Pats, but I also want a fine. $1,000,000 against this year's cap would do the trick.And in the interest of full disclosure, I am a Patriots fan. And I'm ashamed to be one right now. You can't defend the indefensible.

Audiodrama Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Latest news...Belichick claiming that the camera did not have a live feed at all -- it was taping for further research for future meetings. Whether that proves to be true, I don't know. I just wish people would stop equating this issue with the McGwire/Bonds/Sosa examples. If Belichick is telling the truth, then you guys have nothing to complain about. It's watching tape. We'll see where it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets would've changed their audibles and signs by the next game, let alone the next meeting with the Patriots. The Pats were simply looking for patterns so they could best estimate the Jets' strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 The Pats didnt have to cheat in SB XXXVI, Mike Martz game plan was all they needed.Tags and the refs helped. I've sort of come to terms with the fact that expedience demanded a Patriots victory. I'm not going to think any differently about the Patriots though.Kind of like how I wouldn't be surprised if the Patriots lose their first playoff game this season when all is said and done....

mydogisgomez Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 If Goodell suspended Cowboys qb coach Wade Wilson 5 games for performance enhancing drugs; doing something that in no way would help the Cowboys, he has to give Belicheck a much harsher (is that a word?) punishment to Belicheck and/or the Patriots. Outright cheating is much worse than a coach on HGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 The Pats didn't win SB XXXVI because of cameraman cheating, that's for sure.The Rams stunk.But the refs were flat out pitiful and one sided.I quickly jumped to a conspiracy theory after it happened.Now, I don't pull that out, but I haven't completely let that idea slip away from the back of my mind.But whether intentional or not, if the refs had called the game evenly, the Rams would have won the game. Hell, you could change one call and the Rams when that game. (Like say the obvious but not even mentioned intentional grounding on Brady on the final drive.)Anyways, I'd like to see Bellicheck get a game or two suspension and the Patriots striped of 2 of their first 3 draft picks next year. I think that'd be fair. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
