If they wanted it to stop once and for all they would ban Belichick for a season and we'd be talking multiple 1st round picks.
That's what the Saints got for bounties and the NFL wanted that shit to never happen again. Thus, it was stomped out.

Patriots just going to keep cheating.
Oh I agree, but we both know that was never going to happen.
If it’s going to be just a draft pick, it should be the most severe one. [Reply]
The history of cheating scandals the Patriots organization has accumulated under Belichick is mindnumbing.
- 2001 AFC divisional playoff game: Tuck rule sends home Raiders
- 2007 Spygate scandal
- 2014 Falsified injury report allegations
- 2014 AFC divisional playoff game: Sneaky formation baffles Ravens
- 2014 AFC championship game: Deflategate scandal begins
- 2015 Headset malfunctions anger Steelers
- 2019 Play clock trick reveals rulebook loophole
- 2019 Bengals video scandal
These are not some simple allegations but rather blatant cheating scandals and a pattern of behavior with the intent to affect the outcome of games. They were found guilty and subsequently punished by the league on multiple occasions. Shameful. [Reply]
If this is true, every team should do it to even the playing field. The patriots got half a dozen super bowl "victories" for the cost of a third round pick and whatever it cost them the last time they got caught. The patriots will just start doing it again until they get caught again.
I agree that Belichick should be banned from the league permanently. He cheats constantly and that's the only reason he's had success. And Kraft should be forced to sell the team. [Reply]
The correct punishment: vacate ALL wins under Belichick and ban ANY team with Belichick on their payroll from the postseason as long as he is employed by that team.
**** the Patriots. They have cheated or tried to cheat since forever. That said, Why is this a big deal? Seems like tech has already made theese issues a moot point.
Filming the field? They publicly post the all 22 film every week for every game.
Sideline? I’m assuming to get their signals? You can put that into AI and it’ll spit out every signal possible and what the indicators are with the free software you can get from any cloud provider. No real tech skills needed. [Reply]
I stand corrected. Losers actually got something. Not nearly enough for theor pattern of cheating but at least ot taints their success a little more. [Reply]
That's why I'm proud to be a Chiefs fan. Our team has suffered playoff failures for so long but at least they have played their opponents fair. Our success was earned without cheating. You will not find more honest coaches in the history of the league than Marty Schottenheimer and Andy Reid. [Reply]
