Imagine how many SBs the pats would have had if they had Gronk and Hernandez on the field

These kinds of accusations follow the best teams. The same things go on, one place or another...but when somebody cheats, nobody cares if they also suck. When somebody wins big, somebody is always going to be whining about it.

One other to note is that Josh McDaniels, offensive coordinator for the Patriots, was the head coach for the Broncos briefly. During his tenure there, the Broncos were in spygate like controversy courtesy of Mcdaniels taping the 49ers pre-game walkthrough. Kind of a coincidence that a coach who worked for Belichick got caught for cheating for the same thing.

On November 27, 2010, The Denver Post reported the Broncos were under investigation from the NFL, after it was reported that Steve Scarnecchia, the team's director of video operations hired by McDaniels in 2009, videotaped a San Francisco 49ers' walkthrough practice, during the teams' Week 8 game at Wembley Stadium in London, England.[16]

The same day, the NFL fined the Broncos and McDaniels $50, 000 each, and Scarnecchia was fired as a result of the incident. Scarnecchia told NFL investigators he acted alone and "knew it was wrong" to tape the walkthrough practice, after the rest of the Broncos' staff had left the stadium. Scarnecchia later presented McDaniels with the six-minute video, but McDaniels declined to view it, and it was not shown to any other Broncos staff member, and therefore the NFL determined the Broncos had not gained a competitive advantage from it. An anonymous source alerted the Broncos on November 8, who conducted an internal investigation before alerting the NFL. NFL Security then began its investigation, which included a forensic analysis of the computer from which the recording was later deleted by Scarnecchia.[17] Both the NFL and the Broncos determined that McDaniels knew nothing about the incident.[18]

However, the NFL fined McDaniels due to the fact that he did not immediately report the incident to the league office, as required by policy. The NFL also fined the Broncos, as "clubs are ultimately accountable for the conduct of their employees."[17]

McDaniels later issued the following statement:[19]

"I apologize for not promptly reporting the improper conduct of our video director before our game against the 49ers in London. The actions of this individual are in no way representative of the values and integrity held by myself, our players and coaches, and the entire Denver Broncos organization. I understand the punishment from the National Football League and support its commitment to the integrity of the game. We have addressed the situation internally to assure that nothing like this happens again."

According to The Denver Post, the videotaping incident was a major factor in McDaniels' firing a week later; while the Broncos did not deem it something that merited being fired for cause, they considered his failure to report the incident "unforgivable."

Realistically, the Pats didn't cheat any more or less than any other NFL team does, the spotlight is just on them more because they won so much. And I'm not even a Pats fan (I'm an Eagles fan).
