Did the Patriots "cheat" yesterday to win?

[Renegade]

It appears as if Harbaugh feels the Touchdown pass Edelman was illegal and is saying the Patriots cheated. I don't see anything wrong with this. How does CP feel about?

I'm gonna put a healthy, healthy bet on the Pats next week. For two reasons.

1) Hopefully my bad luck is enough for them to lose.

2) When they win, I'll be rewarded.

A win, win.

I actually entered 1 Madden Tournament in Bloomington, IL at Jumer's Hotel and won the whole thing for $400. Hahaha. I won the championship game by 42 points.

I watched like 2 episodes of Madden Nation and thought it was a god damn joke.

Also, Madden on a competitive level is a ****ing joke because of fumbles. Fumbles should be taken out of the game in a tournament setting UNLESS the user forces them with a hit stick or using the strip button.

I do, still, to this day, consider myself the best safety in the Madden Universe.

Also. Madden on Xbox Original was the last good Madden. 2007 with Shaun Alexander I think. Now? Hard to be great. I still win at about an 80% clip but I'm definitely beatable. Back then? No chance.

played Madden for the first time in a couple years a week ago. Lost because Lacy fumbled twice on routine tackles. Pissed me off.

the best of the best the last few years have it down to where the games end up being all offense

they score every time

go for 2 every time

onside kick every time

...so the game is decided by random onside kick luck or random fumble luck

they made defense impossible against great players

I don't see any quotes from Harbaugh in the article you linked where he says the play was illegal or that the Patriots cheated.

[SAUTO]

It just wasn't right.


No comment on whether it was dirty or not.

The ref pointed at Vereen as the Pats are lining upand snapping the ball.

If an ineligible player reports as eligible, the ref announces that over the pa sytem prior to a team lining up to snap the ball.

The same should be required for this.

Dude sucks!!

Peyton Manning!

[Rain Man]

so it sounds like Belichick won by manipulating the rules about uniform numbers? if I am reading this right, he used uniform numbers and late check-ins to make the defenders misunderstood who the eligible receivers were.

maybe it is technically legal. It is also technically legal for Alex Trebek to count a question wrong because they didn't word the answer in the form of a question. or for wheel of fortune to count an answer wrong because it was very slightly mispronounced.

the result of this is a win for the Patriots, and it will result in a new rule that will slow down the game further and will make some more referee calls ambiguous judgments. congratulations to Bill Belichick for helping to ruin the game even more going forward.

Pats were favored by 7. Brady was supposed to win that one. He played amazingly well. I don't understand the point you're making?

I think it's hilarious the Patriots sat on this gimmick until the postseason.
