Pats have the greatest coach and greatest QB of all time. You think they have to cheat?? Brady knows where the blitz is coming from because he WORKS LIKE AN ANIMAL and always has! Guy comes in before everyone, watches film nonstop, perfects his mechanics, makes his receivers catch a zillion balls until they know exactly where to go, etc. I hate the easy "they must cheat" talk -- it so diminishes all the incredible work that these guys put in to be so consistently good.
That's also BS about headphones, headphones and other electronics work lousy in a bunch of stadiums, not just Foxborough. Plus it's so conspiracy-theory. Pats have never done half of what people think they must do. They're just f'n smarter and work harder. And they have continuity, which a lot of teams don't have. And they know exactly what type of players they need to fit their offensive and defensive schemes. Which brings us back to the Collins thing -- just wasn't fitting into what they do enough to be worth a massive paycheck.
