How were the New England Patriots able to win 17-straight games following the Week One Spygate revelation, and after all of their "cheating tools" were taken away? Not to mention that the entire sporting world was watching them.
After all, they need to cheat to win, right?

this is such a simple point, and it is right on. ive seen many people on this site and others, saying the patriots lost the super bowl because they werent cheating. one idiot even wrote that the patriots scored fewer points each round because they stopped cheating. yet somehow, not only did the team win all those games, they did by scoring the most points in the history of the league. if new england got caught, then went 9-7, 8-8, even 10-6, while struggling on offense, i might understand. to me, the most telling thing matt walsh had to say (that no one is really picking up on) is that he held on to the tapes, that the coaches didn't see these tapes until afterwards. which means there was no way the patriots were gaining an advantage in the game the tapes were made. they werent taping signals, figuring them out at half time, and using them in the second half. they did it for some reason, but whatever it was, it wasn't some huge advantage. even if they did break down your signals and figure out what you were calling - don't you have to assume any team in the nfl is changing how they call signals, if not their signals entirely, throughout the season, and definitely when playing a team for the second time. and if they didn't they are just dumb. bottom line is this - patriots broke a rule, they were caught, they were punished. we knew all of this in september. everything since, has just been nonsense. time to move on.

In your last 2 "articles" you have a total of 9 sentences. But they still have good points.
