I never really got the argument that the Patriots haven't won since Spygate. They have been to the Superbowl twice, and to the playoffs every year (except when Brady got hurt). Even if they were spying on other teams during their three Superbowl's, it obviously was not much of a difference maker in them winning each game.
The Pats are easily the best team to not win a Superbowl since Spygate, but it just proves how random the results have been in recent years. Many people could have gone through ten teams before they got to the Ravens making the Superbowl this season. Of the 12 teams that made the playoffs where would the Ravens have ranked in terms of favorites? I'd say around 8-10 of them, so it just shows how much more meaningless the regular season, and previous results in general have become.
