For me the Patriots will always be about the snow plow. That was the first (obvious) incident of cheating.
More recently, there's the taping.
And was I the only one who noticed (sorry I don't have much time to read all the posts) that we had no communication from upstairs in Foxboro for much of the first half? Is it possible on the series of plays where the game got out of hand (3 consecutive series with turnovers) we had no commuication from upstairs? Were the Patriots so desperate as to pull this stunt? Of course, even if they would have had limited communication (probably not) due to the rules, they still would have been prepared for it since they probably engineered it. Would we have won the game? Probably not. Would it have changed the complexion of the game. Certainly.

On a side note: Why have I never seen these short slants (the high-percentage passes I'm always talking about) run by our offense. We NEVER are going downfield when we catch the short passes.
