Most of the game
Is based upon deception. Reading your previous week's videotape prepares you for the following week, where you have to script your mannerisms to throw off the opposing player the following week. They weren't taping the plays, there are always former players with more than enough intel, they were taping mannerisms to determine what specific play was coming, including audibles, what you would audible to, which provides a huge advantage. This is how they beat Payton Manning, they taped him, saw what look would cause him to audible, then play the audible. They were able to condense the game to about 12-15 plays, that is, until Mr. Manning, obviously a student of the game, and respectful of his opponent, figured it out, came up with fake audibles, ran the original play, then laughed all the way to a championship. Yes, they are cheaters, and very smart cheaters. It's why you have to have a high aptitude, not always top skill level, to play on their team. Instincts are for those that don't know what's coming. The Patriots always did thanks to a combination of intellect, cunning, then cheating. You can take pictures in EF and accomplish more than the patriots because if you are not using perfectly balanced TTC's you can't even make adjustments week to week. Cheaters never proper?? I think they did in this case. Just my thoughts.
Patriots Fans: No anger please. I really enjoyed Russ Francis, Randy Vataha, Darryl Stingly, Stanley Morgan, Big John Hannah, Sam "Bam" Cunningham. I have Tim Fox on my all-time Buckeye team. Just an issue, not an indictment.
Peace
