Default I Am Sick Of This!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EXCUSE THE RANT BUT..........

VIDEO TAPING ANYTHING IN FOOTBALL IS AN ADVANTAGE!!!!!!!!

IF THE PATS DID THIS, THEY DID HAD ADVANTAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

OFCOURSE, THE PLAYERS STILL HAVE TO PLAY, THE COACHES HAVE TO COACH AND EVERYONE HAS TO WORK HARD ON THE FIELD. YES, AN ADVANTAGE DOESNT GIVE YOU A WIN, BUT IF I ALREADY KNOW WHERE A PLAY IS GOING, THEN THAT MAKES ALL OF THE ABOVE THAT MUCH EASIER.

IF ANYONE THINKS KNOWING AHEAD OF TIME THE SIGNALS FOR AN OPPOSING TEAM IS NO BIG DEAL, THEN TELL THAT TO THE RAIDERS WHO GOT JERKED OUT OF SUPERBOWL (fairly) BECAUSE THEY WERE STILL RUNNING JON GRUDENS PLAYS. THEREFORE (as Lynch admitted) THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHERE THE PLAYS WERE GOING!!!!!!!

THE SAME CAN BE SAID IF THE PATS STOLE THE SIGNALS ILLEGALLY (ahead of time and on video for continuous playback and study). THEY SEE THE PLAY BEING SIGNALED SO THEY CAN COUNTER WITH THE DEFENSE TO PUT THEM IN AN EASIER POSITION TO MAKE TACKLES AND WORK HARD(easy?).

i am fed up with people on TV saying it doesnt make a difference. it does.
thats why we tape our EF games. Thats why I USED TO TAPE MY OPPONENTS IN FLAG FOOTBALL. playing QB, which is like being the coach, i wanted to know tendencies and calls ahead of time too. AND IT WORKED!!!!


THIS IS NOT A BASH ON THE PATS . I DONT CARE IF THEY DID OR DIDNT.
I AM SIMPLY TIRED OF THESE TWO FACED TV AND RADIO PERSONALITIES JUST EXPRESSING THE OPINION OF WHATEVER WAS MADE UP IN THE PRODUCTION MEETING THE NIGHT BEFORE.

GUYS LIKE JIM ROME AND STEPHEN A. SMITH ARE TOTAL IDIOTS, BUT ATLEAST THEY WILL TELL IT TO YOU LIKE IT IS.


ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY TO OPPOSE THIS, PLEASE POST UP! I AM DEFINETLY OPEN TO HEARING SOMETHING THAT MAKES SENSE.


Thanks for your shoulder to lean on and ear to vent. all of you MFers are good guys.

Default 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

Default Change signals every week or GET A SMART QB WHO CAN CALL HIS OWN PLAYS

Change your signals from week to week, or use the radio if you must.
(Even with the radio somebody will get a scanner and intercept the in-
coming play.)If you want to stop the other team from knowing the play, lets get oldschool and have a QB who can call his own plays and players versatile
enough to play every down, instead of situational subs. Until the late
80's most QBs called their own plays, with the exception, a la Hank Stram
"32 toss power trap" occaisionally calling a play. I can't believe today's QB's, with the exception of Peyton Manning and the Pats QB Brady, aren't smart enough for play calling. That stops the video recording of signals etc. The game isn't that tough and I think some of these coaches are too smart by half, that they micromanage the game all the way down to play calling.
