I'm not a Pats fan (lifelong Broncos fan who finds the NFL's lack of moral compass at this point too disheartening to watch) but the axe grinding here is so damn obvious.
If the Pats were this damn bad there would have been at least some bit of credible evidence to slip out other than the taping of signals during games, which was legal just 12 months earlier. The NFL has had more than a few chances now to look behind the curtain, moreso than any other club, and they've been striking out every time.
The Pats are executing the NFL's primary mission statement for coaches, players, etc.: just win baby. They've spent decades breeding that culture over all else. Teams have covered up for assault, domestic violence, rape, and drug trafficking. That's ok to everyone. The Pats, who outright disowned and helped with the prosecution of their in-house shithead criminal, do some strategic elements people don't like and suddenly they've got to be cheating. Even though all the verifiable complaints against them are things other teams admit to having done in the past as well.
Lot of salty fans because Brady was a 6th rounder all your teams passed on and Belichick is better than your head coach. It's the reality of it, deal with it. My Broncos were riding high on Brian Griese's future potential when the Pats got Brady, and have since fired the one coach who had Belichick's number any given Sunday to start a rotating door and I still harbor no ill will.
Don't hate Belichick because he's a strategic genius or Brady because the NFL has, of their own volition, made rules changes to tailor the game to Brady's skill set. He can't make them institute restrictions on DB/WR contact, penalize QB contact, or the widespread distribution of spread offenses complete with heavy slanting to flood zones, bubble screens, etc..
You got a problem with the Pats ask your club why they passed on Gronk, why they can't scheme an offense that can utilize a cast of WRs instead of needing to pay #1s, or consistently maintain a strong defense for about a decade and a half because that's why the Pats beat your team. They're better at football because Belichick is better than your guys.
Go cry in your beer and console yourselves with the notion that the league office will railroad the Pats out of SB contention this year no matter what it takes, so you'll get at least a one year reprieve.
Meanwhile I'll be following the baseball hot stove because the league that is just now stepping out of the shadow of a two decade long steroid scandal has exhibited far more integrity than the NFL.
