I wouldn't doubt there is more to it (beyond taping defensive signals) concerning the Philly and Carolina SB's also. I put nothing past Belicheat and that organization now.
No wonder Brady and the offense could score all those years with no WRs (excluding this year). It's almost like Belicheat knew the gig was going to be up so he went out and stocked up on WRs Moss, Welker, and Stallworth.

Truth be told, we all should have known something was up when, like you said, they had all the success with no pro bowl quality skill players to speak of AND had a new offensive coordinator every single gosh darned year!
I'm sure that the rules have not been changed in the last number of years, especially since there was no change in the rules last year even when they were caught at the Green Bay game! My question was, did the tapes that Goodell saw include or start before the Green Bay game, if not, you knew he was lying. Well apparently Goodell was the one that was lying when he said that games were not affected. How can you say that games are not affected when you have an average at best offense competing against the best in the league and when there are multiple coaches talking about how their radios will "magically" go out in Foxboro when their own offense is on a roll? As much as Kraft would like to claim innocence, he had to know something.
