The Pats are the most succesfful franchise over the past decade or so...because?

[Threedifferentones]

Over the past decade they have been caught cheating now twice. During that span other teams have been caught cheating (other than PEDs)...wait for it...zero times!

Thirty one teams have not been caught cheating at all. One has been caught cheating now twice. That team is the most successful team in the league.

That is obviously just a coincidence.

Furthermore, it is an absolute certainty that the Pats would win so much without cheating. We know for sure that the ways they have cheated only provide a small edge while they often win by large margins. Also, they definitely have not been cheating in any other ways that we are not aware of.

Losing a first round pick is a joke. Fines to these millionaires are jokes.

The Pats got fined and lost a pick the last time they got caught cheating and have continued to win and win. Of course we now know they have continued to cheat...but that's NOT the reason they win.

After all, a coach who tampers with game balls and video tapes other teams' signals must be winning because he is just much more clever at "scheming"...lol, that's the best pun I've made this week!

1. Fire the coach...

Cancel their last win and let the Colts go to the Super Bowl

Next year, find a way to charge them with two losses at the beginning of the season, and maybe NO draft picks.

If it ever happens again, take away the franchise-- we've seen franchises taken away from sorry-ass owners before.

(Yeah, right...)

6. Fire the Quarterback too

Obviously he knew also. They were deflated for his benefit.

[MH1]

7. Fire all the refs, too.

They handle the ball on every play, so obviously they knew too.

[AgingAmerican]

8. Nope

The refs don't throw or catch the ball at high velocity. Nice try, but ain't happenin'.

[trof]

9. Ever notice how many times the refs call for a new ball from the sidelines?

They do. A lot.
Wonder why?

2. Absolutely, there is no cheating in football

I mean the rest of the teams are so in the clear when it comes to the game....

oops

Got anything a bit more recent?

4. Why?

the op stated..

"Over the past decade they have been caught cheating now twice. During that span other teams have been caught cheating (other than PEDs)...wait for it...zero times!"

Even though he seems to think drug use is cool when it comes to cheating I don't.

The qualifier, other than PED's, is bullshit plain and simple and only used because he forgot about the New Orleans Saints bounty program or he would have put..."other than PED's and intentionally ruining the careers of opposing players".

5. fuck the Pats

[trof]

10. Awww...sweetie?

My team.

[Skittles]

11. also an asshole at work's team

so fuck the Pats and their shriveled balls

[Yavin4]

12. A big part of their success is the god awful AFC East

Each year, the Pats are guaranteed 5 to 6 wins in their division which allows them to develop their team. It's like having 6 extra preseason games every year.

All of the other teams in the AFC have difficult divisions to win. They have to play their best throughout the season which wears them down.

Not the Pats. They can play like crap and still beat the Jets, Bills, and Dolphins every year.

13. because they have deflated balls?

maybe next year they will go full Joni Ernst on them and do a little castrating?
