I am personally a big Patriots fan and I have to tip my hat to the Jets and Brett Farve, it was a great game last night on NFL Network. I Really thought it was over when the Jets scored that last TD but than Moss made an AMAZING catch in the endzone. And there were some "iffy" calls in that game as well, but over it was a good game and it should be a fun divisional race from here.

P.S. To all the Jets fans, Farve can only be your QB for a year or two more. And next year we get Brady back, haha.
 
Pats are awesome. Don't care how much they "cheat" they still are a great team.
 
Matt Cassell is going to be the starting quarterback for some team next year since this is the last year of his contract.

I think they were floating teams like the 49ers and the Vikings out there earlier.

And again, thanks to NFL Network for letting five people watch the game!

Considering every team in the NFL did it, wouldn't call it cheating. The pats were the only team to get caught.

Cassel will most defiantly sign with another team next year. And yeah it sucks that it was only on NFL network. I had to watch it at my fiancee's house, arg...that was a drag. She was like "we need to talk" when the game went into overtime, I'm like 'IT CAN WAIT!"
 
Great game, i tuned in when i got home from work and the play i saw was Cotchery losing a fumble. Great catch by moss with 8 secs left, im a bit disappointed when they lost in OT, blown coverage on Keller. Either way, great game, if the pats decide to let Cassel go, i hope he goes to Minnesota so AD can get some more help.

WRONG! No other team was video taping the other teams signals like that.

They were fined and lost a draft pick because of the CLEAR evidence that they were indeed cheating.

I, like every other football fan, thought that Bill Belichick was one of the greatest coaches of this generation, or of all time. He always had a 6th sense about the game and knew the calls. Well now it's obvious and proven that he is just a cheater that got away with it for so many years. You can't blame the players either(An extremely talented group at that), they had no idea, they just followed the coaches calls. But you can certainly label the organization as a as whole cheaters because they person that lead them had an unfair advantage.

I understand that you might be a Patriots fan, but come to grips with what the reality of the situation is.




That being said... the game was awesome. Probably the 2nd best game all season. First going to the Dallas/Cardinals game with the punt block for a TD in overtime.

Pats will most likely have to let him go because they won't have enough money in the salary cap to match other team's offers. I don't think he will be high pick in my opinion. He has one of the best receiving cores of all time and can't even make a single deep pass to moss. I believe he only has one all year and that was against the 49ers.

The rule was made just prior to that season, which means every team in the NFL had tape of their opposing teams' defensive signals. He wasn't cheating the previous years, since it wasn't a rule. Look what happened when all of his tapes were destroy, he went 18-1. So I wouldn't be so quick to label him a cheater and a horrible coach that is only good when he cheats. The Patriots were made an example of, watch the NFL Network, you will see that most of the analysts say the same thing, that every team did it. But it doesn't matter, that was last season and this is this season. They paid their fine and lost a draft pick, but they still got Mayo, which has to be up for Defensive Rookie of the Year - he is playing like a vet, he has a nose for the ball and plays sideline to sideline.

Belichick is still a great coach, despite cheating. He has one 3 super bowls with different people at different times, and let's not forget last year's amazing run. He is still a great coach because look at what he has done this year. The patriots are set to break the NFL record for most games starters have missed in NFL history, oh and the patriots hold the record, TWICE. They broke it in 2003 and than again in 2004, both years they won the Superbowl. Look at all the good coaches that have come out of New England that have been under Belichick, most of them are head coaches for NFL or D1 schools.
 
It's not illegal to watch and have "spys" on your sideline watching the opposing teams signals. But it has ALWAYS been illegal to videotape those signals so you can study them for a later date.

So yes, other teams WATCHED for signals, but in sports it's almost always a waste of time, just look at baseball and all the crazy signals they come up with. But videotaping was illegal and the Patriots clearly crossed that line.
 
Ok guys, let's not make this out to be anything else but last night's game. Thank you. :)
 
Guys, not to be a downer, but isn't this in the same weight class as talking politics? A topic like this has the potential to go very bad.
 
I live in Wisconsin, so I'm pretty sure I must say
'Booooo Jets'
But I do still like Brett Favre. After all, I'm an Eagles fan, and no man is single-handedly more responsible for us winning than Mr. Favre.
