The Jets have played the Pats tough, I think if a few plays during previous games went a different way, the result could have been different so to me they had a chance.

The papers even reported this was not the first time the Patriots were warned about this.
The same guy was busted doing the same thing at another game and was warned by the NFL to stop doing this...

That was the Packers game.

It is rather cheap of Mangini to think it is perfectly acceptable to do it when he works for the Patriots but not when he works for the Jets.

On top of that the Patriots were stupid to be spying on a team they know will call them out, as Mangini has done in the past, I believe.

It would be interesting to find out just how much it could turn a game.

Well said with a dose of rationality!

I don't think play calling had anything to do with the 108 yard kick return. That's the play that beat the Jets.

When the team goes out to cover the formations and they have to all line up in a specific way the shift during the run, if they knew the signal for a certain formation wouldn't the runner then know where the wedge would be and where the pressure was going to come from.

have you ever played football.

Aye and they were deflated after it.

Trust me I'm not excusing what the Pats did, and I do think they should pay for it, I just don't think it's the reason they won the game.

Yes I have, and if you're telling me it's that simple to return a kick off in the NFL your team must have been much better than mine.
