I think that the Pats being singled out for something that they were not trying to hid. The guy was standing on the sidelines for everyone to see.
How would them taping defensive signs help them during that game?
Blasting crowd noise so the offense can’t hear signal effects the game going on. Screwing with radio frequencies, etc all effect the game being played.
Its a huge diffence with what the Pats did and what the colts are doing.

We can’t criticize the Colts less Archie might take you to the woodshed for dissin’ his boys team.

Peyton is America’s Cinderella and only Eli winning one as a mediocre QB would be a greater achievement to the Manning family business.

I agree with you, but the NFL makes the rules. The fact that the taping rule is a silly one doesn’t matter.

If there was illegal noise or signal manipulation, presumably the Colts will be held accountable by the NFL. If the practice has never been addressed by the NFL, at least teams playing there will know what they’re up against, and perhaps the NFL will act.

There were plenty of discussions about how the headsets mysteriously went out in new england. So you might want to rethink your argument here
