Even their hometown newspaper Boston Herald reported back in the day that an employee secretly taped the Rams walk through before the 2002 SB. The Rams destroyed the Pats during the regular season but the Pats defense had all the answers to the Rams offense in the SB. It was fishy and later confirmed by unnamed sources and of course the NFL covered it up.

Watching the Bengals game Monday, their coach is calling the plays w/o lifting his play sheet to cover his mouth! I'm hollering at the TV as they stop them time after time. Dude...you ain't playing a Catholic nuns school...cover up.

Stealing signs is just good observation by the coaches.

If they figured out their signals during the game, not cheating….. if they got their signals before the game through nefarious ways (illegal recording) THAT’S cheating

How is figuring out another team's signals cheating? It's a chess match. Get better at making signals and that wouldn't have happened

You haven't heard of spygate? Where they were caught filming other teams signals from unauthorized locations. They were fined and docked first round picks for doing it. They were even caught filming other teams practices, like before the Superbowl against the Rams.

Troy Polamalu told a similar story. The Steelers installed a couple of new looks on defense before the same game, stuff they didn't put on film the entire year and a unique formation from the 3-4 they were running at the time. Each time they went into the new formations, the Pats knew what they were running and called out the defense.

Also, it's well known that during Patriots week, teams would keep close track of anything regarding a game plan. Pats analysts and low-level were known for "accidentally" getting lost at the facilities and ending up in the other teams space.

It's not even debatable at this point that the Pats were cheats, they were caught multiple times, admitted most of it and were penalized for it.
