http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000...d-kick-vs-patriots?module=HP11_headline_stack Don’t know if there’s been any talk about SCOREBOARD GATE – the latest cheating attempts on the part of the Patriots but I heard about it all day. It seems that the scoreboard is controlled by the home team and that at the end of the game, the Patriots scoreboard keeper somehow got “confused” and screwed up the last 30 (?) or so seconds of the game. He put up information that the Ravens were on 3rd down and 2 rather than they were on 4th down and 2 (the actual situation.) So the hurry up confusion at the end caused them to come in and quickly try for the field goal. Of course if they knew they were on 4th and 2, there wouldn’t have been the frenzy. The Pats of course swear it was an innocent mistake. Just when I think I couldn’t hate the cheating bast*ards more – I find that I can! You know I’m a real believer in karma. Therefore I can’t imagine those black hearts winning the Super Bowl.
Right there with you on th karma thing. But really, unless Tom Brady has his best Super Bowl game, I see the G-men winning. I look style 2teams, and see maybe three positions where the patriots are better: 1) QB - and not by a huge margin. Eli was the 4th best QB in league this year, IMO 2) tight end 3) def tackle - specifically Wilfork
Or instead of rushing around like idiots, they coudl've called a timeout. That loss is not on the Patriots ans the scoreboard. It's on bad coaching and a choking kicker.
Wouldn't be the first time there were shenanigans at that stadium. Or the second. The most common one was the visiting team's communication systems going out during critical junctures in the game.
Hmm.. as much as I would love to bash the pats, if that's what caused the Ravens to miss they don't deserve to go to the superbowl anyway.. How in the hell do you not know what down it is?? Ever seen on of these big orangey things being held on the sidelines?
what about the down markers on the field? those are the official markers of the game, not the scoreboard. Reaching. What about the giants playing admitting they were concussion hunting?
