In a larger sense, doesn't everything have to be brought to this front office's attention?  Little slow on the uptake, our mom and pop shop is.

Definitely a detail I'd love to know about, but I have a feeling the public will be kept in the dark on a lot around this. Same as Spygate.

Yeah, I realize everything get's to the front office.  But, it would be nice to know who made the discovery.

It would be really encouraging, to discover that any member of the Bengals organization was the one to notice the intrusion.

This thing stinks. I hope we hasten Brady's retirement and send those cheating ***** home with a big, fat L.  **** them. 

Hope the fans put up a ton of signs making fun of the cheating patriots.

The only true revenge is beating the Patriots.

Supposedly the guy was right in the Bengals Press Box taping and a Bengals employee was standing behind him and say he was pointing the camera at the sideline.

What is this, Pittsburgh?

I'm not buying for a second that the Pats just have guys filming and not knowing EXACTLY what they're doing. Especially for a team that went through Spygate.

The Patriots send advanced scouts to every upcoming game. I'm sure that's why they are generally well prepared and filming one of their scouts doing his job to show newer people how to do it is the kind of preparation a winner would do because they want to add people and continue to be well prepared. It's just sad that the Bengals didn't think of it. Do the Bengals even send advanced scouts to upcoming opponents' games? Cheap miser man probably doesn't allow it.

The filming of the field was clearly bad, whether intentional or not. But to do it against the worst team in the league lend credence to the reason to film.

And, considering that half the Colts' footballs were also under-inflated due to the cold temperatures always seems to get lost on people.

Pittsburg only has to swirl their towels I'm afraid. 

Latest article on CBS says the video that was supposed to focus on life as an advanced scout has 8 minutes of footage focused on the Bengals coaches on the sidelines and their signals.

So, this really seems more and more like the cheating Patriots again.

This is gonna make the pummelling the Patriots lay on us so much worse. There's gonna be some really cool threads around here next week.

I have doubts that the Patriots were cheating here. I know ya'll like to think they need to cheat to beat us, but news flash... We have won one effing game. We suck, they know it, we know it.

camera crew and the group work for the teams website...  Not the football operations side of things.

There is no reason the patriots would need to tape us this year. lol. 


I doubt they were trying to cheat at all... but if it makes bengals fans feel better somehow I guess believe what you want.

Hell no. If they let the Stoolers eat steroids like Skittles and did nothing, then let the Pats Super Bowls stand as well. In fact, I hope they win at least one more.....for obvious reasons.


As to OP, it's not like we put anything on tape worth a shit. Joke's on them!

Maybe Zac has just been "setting up" the Patriots all this season with reels of bad tape and Belichick senses this setup coming from The Bengals "new, young, hip, innovative" Head Coach which caused Bill to spy out of Fear of Zac. 

I'm surprised buy the number of posters that are ok with this, because it happened to a 1 win team....

It seems like a positive for the Bengals Organization.

Puts the Bengals in the National Spotlight and has many Bengal Fans scratching their heads as to WHY Belichik would go to all the trouble of doing it.

It likely Legitimizes the Bengals some as being enough of a supposed Threat to the Patriots that they would resort to doing it.

Patriots worried about the lowly Bengals is a head scratcher.

It also adds to Belichick's "on to Cincinnati" famous quote from a few years back which came after the Patriots had just lost.

The Patriots REP may get dinged here with little downside for the already down Bengals which could use that number 1 overall pick anyway.
