[quote] ESPN’s Dianna Russini, who surfaced the story after a reporter asked Bengals coach Zac Taylor about the accusation, reported later Monday that a cameraman who identified himself as a Robert Kraft employee was filming Bengals coaches during the first quarter of their game against the Browns and asked if he could “just delete the footage” when a Bengals employee caught him [quote]

Kraft and belicheck just can't help themselves. Once a cheater always a cheater. The NFL needs to come down hard on them otherwise they will continue to do it because like a drug addicted is addicted to drugs , Kraft and belicheck are addicted to cheating

New coaching staff = New signs (to steal)

Every team does this.

Spies in the stands sitting among regular fans. They film that stuff all the time.

So if it's true they cheated (shrugs shoulders).

Pats were unlucky to be caught, but noone will be able to touch them. Super Bowl 7 here we come.

I find it odd that it is always the Patriots caught doing this in the NFL and no one else does.

Any who, I find this to be a non story, if the patriots want to record hand signals then fine, NFL teams change their signals on a weekly basis (or should), they also don't even need to use hand signals they have radio equipment to provide the same affect.

You sure about that? The Patriots are the only team that gets caught year in and year out. I feel like this is the same old generic response that every Patriot fan is using right now.

It's filming the hand signals that's the issue. They use hand signals to call plays, and if they know the other teams signals and plays it causes a very unfair disadvantage for the opposing team

Do your job means stealing play signals.

Asterisks galore on their championships.

Footage of the Cincinnati Bengals sideline shot last week by a freelance videographer hired by the New England Patriots, which prompted an NFL investigation, was aired Sunday by Fox Sports.

In the video, which appeared to be shot by Bengals security, a member of the team's security is heard questioning a Patriots employee as the camera shows a tight shot of the Bengals' sideline.

The Patriots acknowledged their production crew inappropriately filmed the field and sideline during the Bengals' Dec. 8 game against the Cleveland Browns and accepted full responsibility. The crew was credentialed by the Browns to shoot video for a Patriots web series called "Do Your Job" on an advance scout for the team, but the Patriots did not inform the Bengals nor the NFL, which they called "an unintended oversight."

I gave up football (was a Viking fan) after the BS playoff game they played against the Saints when we had Favre. Remember Bounty Gate? Vikes should have been in the SB that year but the Saints AND the refs fixed it. The NFL lost a fan that day.

BillTheGOAT · Post #16 » by **BillTheGOAT** » Tue Dec 17, 2019 12:02 am

A fifth and a seventh round pick, plus a 1$M fine.

They'll get a small and insignificant slap on the wrist as usual. They keep getting caught cheating, because the price they pay for it is so small that it's worth it. Good to be friends with the commish.

I think Pats got a lot more on their plate than this scandal.

What happens with Brady will be the number one story in the offseason, unless they make a pretty quick decision.

Pats don't have a QB prospect to take up the mantle do they? Unless they sign a vet free agent, you'd think they'd want to keep Brady but Brady supposedly wants big money now, which is why he didn't get an extension.

Maybe Bronk comes out of retirement and they get the gang back together for one more run.

Bellichek is 43 wins from all-time record held by Shula. And supposedly he wants to leave a legacy, a team which is still competitive whenever he retires.

Maybe if McDaniel leaves and takes another job finally, Brady would go with him. If it's true that Bellichek wants at least 44 more wins, then that's 4 more seasons or more. McDaniel may not wait around for that.
