Many other coaches have said that Martz's scheme's use picks by the receivers that are illegal, and coaches/players are smart to push the limits of the rules and hope to get away with it. The Pats definitely got away with it in that game.
Water under the bridge.
The only way to get redemption for that game is the hope the Rams make a run at the SB this year, gain some respect, and bring back the GSOT.

Good post, SB. I think we've pretty much beaten this dead horse into a pulp. We've seen RT's video evidence, and we've discussed it for quite a while. The league isn't suddenly going to strip the Pats of their title, so I'd rather not dwell on the topic just for the sake of keeping the scab from forming on this wound.
