New England would have beat us even if they hadn't cheated. That's not a debate. We couldn't stop the run. The fact is though they cheated and then Brady deliberately lied about it. That's why the league came down with this ruling. I think it's a fair ruling. Lying about not knowing about it doubled the severity of the punishment. I think it would have been 2-3 games a 500,000 fine and a 2nd if he straight up said he cheated.
As rubecube said, looks good on them. They would have won the AFC Championship anyways but it ruins the integrity of the game by cheating (I know people will say others cheat etc but that doesn't make this any better).
