...and they admit it. My guess is they will get punished harshly. Will probably get third easiest schedule next year or something draconian like that.

Fuggin morons.
Bengals = Not OK to film
Ben-Gals Cheerleaders = OK to film. How do you screw that up?
Next year will be a tough schedule for a 43 year old QB. I kind of hope he comes back.
2020
This is assuming they win the division this year.
“Listen, Bob...no more jerky-jerky next to the gas station. I’m gonna set you up with a guy I know.”
Birds of a feather...
More like 4. Buffalo isn’t exactly a pushover.Still have those easy 6 games against their division opponents.

Do they draft Hurts or Burreaux? I would go with Hurts...And the Dolphins are getting a boatload of high-rough draft picks... they're going to be a much better team next year.

Instead of 3 wins, they will now win 5?
so you are telling me the Russians rig the NFL?

How many times does this make it for them? Belichick should be banned from coaching in the NFL.

The film crew has nothing to do with the Pats FB team. And then ask, “Why?”...and they admit it. My guess is they will get punished harshly. Will probably get third easiest schedule next year or something draconian like that.
That's confusing because the Patriots are awesome and win all the time.No, I'm saying Kraft and your boy are cheaters. Cheaters never win and winners never cheat...

A mistake probably...but until someone can explain why the Pats organization would be filming/ spying on a 1win Bengal team...I need a reason to suspect something...and quite frankly, I believe the Pats have more than enough on their plate at the moment.

actually so did trumpThat's confusing because the Patriots are awesome and win all the time.
except they rolled out a greg davis style offense sundayThis is true. It looks like the Bills are in position to takeover the AFC East.

They had Cleveland's permission to be there to film....per League rules and protocol. It is not like they were there clandestine....So, the fact that they play the Bengals this week and a Patriots film crew was at the stadium filming the Bengals signals the week before doesn't constitute reason enough to think the Pats are guilty here? The question isn't "why would they do that?" They DID IT. The question is how should they be punished. Period.
They should have informed the Bengals before videotaping their sideline.They had Cleveland's permission to be there to film....per League rules and protocol. It is not like they were there clandestine....
Tgis is more fodder for the Patriot/Belichick haters out there......go ahead and waste your energy. This is a nothing burger.
They followed League protocol/rules. They did what they were expected to do.They should have informed the Bengals before videotaping their sideline.
Give Bengals their Draft picks?So, the fact that they play the Bengals this week and a Patriots film crew was at the stadium filming the Bengals signals the week before doesn't constitute reason enough to think the Pats are guilty here?

I doubt very much that league protocol states that when Team A is hosting Team B, Team A can allow Team C to videotape Team B’s sideline without Team B’s knowledge. Especially if Team C is playing Team B the next week.They followed League protocol/rules. They did what they were expected to do.
I believe Belichick said that this crew was not a Patriot's employ, too.
It doesn't sound like there was anything "illegal" here at all......Maybe if I was 1-12, I might squawk too. I think it is a great time to play the Pats...they are really struggling. I'd be watching a lot of game film if I was Cincinnati. It's not like the Bengals signals have fooled too many folks this season.

Joel’s just lathered up because his Brownies are going to miss the playoffs again this year.So, because you don't know or understand the rules, there's nothing to see here. It is 100% illegal to film an opposing sideline's signals. You can send lip readers, psychics or anyone else, but once you start filming, game over.
The Patriots disagree with you.
The New England Patriots have admitted that they were in violation of NFL rules on Sunday when a video crew hired by the team illegally filmed the playing field in Cleveland during the Bengals game against the Browns.

Goodell suggested that the responsibility was on teams to conceal their messages, not on the ones trying to steal them. Unless, of course, would-be thieves have the gall to break out the video equipment.
