As many of our members have posted upon the idea of whom they thought were better teams; if the Pats are so good, shouldn't they be good as well with another coach? Yes, I am aware that I am beating the permanent barring of Belichick from the NFL. But that is because the greatest marketing event of football and possibly anything else; the Super Bowl may have been tainted by this action of Belechick.
Now, I heard that the Comissioner's office is now ordering the Pats to turn over all tapes they posess of this kind. As much as I like Madden, this story is not yet debunked. There may even be additional repercussions coming for the Pats and Belichick.
They took away the camera after the 1st quarter and Goodall told the media that the camera had no effect on the outcome of the game whatsoever.
As for Belechick's job security, that was secured after the Patriots first Super Bowl victory...A game that was tight all the way down to the end seconds and relied on a FG...If we honestly had the Ram's def scouted with camera's the game would of been blown open far more then a FG. Which that season we were basicly the underdogs (10-6 I think) throughout the season....no one expected us to reach it let alone win it.
And a team is only as good as the coach that leads them...team cant run without plays plays cant be made without a coach.
And what about the years we didnt make it to the super bowl? Did the camera feed fail? Was our camera man sick on important games? Proves that the Patriots are not invincible and even if we did have cameras had no effect on the games or we would of had 6 straight Super Bowl trophies and banners hanging in the stadium.
