Cheating

[edit]

I think the patriots cheating needs to be discussed, its pretty important to not only their season, but the Whole NFL.--TheNation 22:36, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing is preventing anyone from adding that information, provided it's fully sourced and is written from a NPOV. But it's difficult to source anything at this point, since everything is speculation -- the NFL hasn't said anything officially. Pats1 22:38, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing wrong with posting what the media has said. That is the story.►Chris Nelson 23:00, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"On September 10, Bill Belichick was accused by the Jets of authorizing his staff to film the Jets' defensive signals, a violation of league rules"

This is factually inaccurate. Filming of the opposition's defensive signals was, and is, legal. It was the specific position from which the recording was done (pitchside) which made it an offense. Needs to be corrected.

Do you have source for this material? Gopal81ChatMe!ReadMe!! 01:43, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
First of all, you're responding to a 18-month old post. Secondly, the source is the rule itself that was cited. It only prohibits taping signals from a sideline location; there's nothing preventing a team from shooting signals from the normal video location. See the first few sections of Spygate.

Another record

[edit]

The 2007 Pats are the only team to win 18 games in a row in a full season. JAF1970 (talk) 15:23, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of 19-0: The Historic Championship Season of New England's Unbeatable Patriots

[edit]

I don't think there is any content to merge. It's an amusing piece of trivia that someone prepared a book for the potential season, but other than that, there doesn't appear to be any content in the page worth bringing over. Tarl.Neustaedter (talk) 05:03, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I did the merge before I saw this. You're right, there's not much to merge and it feels a bit shoehorned, but there you have it. If the content is removed, then I guess the redirect should go back to Rfd. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:46, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You did a reasonable job of merging. It's an amusing piece of trivia which I wouldn't have included, but since it's there, no particular need to remove it. Tarl.Neustaedter (talk) 19:35, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lead sentence

[edit]

The article ought to mention the first sentence or at least the first paragraph why this season was notable: that the Patriots went unbeaten and then lost in the biggest upset of all time. I don't like the existence of all these 'X sports team's Y season' articles but this would remain notable even if they were all finally expunged. The reason for that notoriety should be explained as early as possible. 86.139.253.114 (talk) 11:45, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
