Andrew, is it true what we are hearing about Justin Miller?

So now, as a result of Belichick’s cheating, you’ll have small-minded coaches, like Billick, calling out the Jets.

Call me dumb, but if it was happening in real-time, why didn’t he just tell the refs, if they didn’t hear it themselves?
Certainly, if it’s illegal, they’d have called it.
The key, is that Billick is whining that the Jets had only two penalties, to the Ravens 11. And that since the Ravens were playing better, logically the Jets should have been penalized more. Maybe he should have looked at stats, and see that the Jets are one of the least penalized teams.
Maybe it just means that the Jets are a better coached team, with lesser talent… but what do I know

Gamesmanship, to try to intimidate the refs, into calling fewer penalties on the Ravens, in upcoming games.

Billick is essentially convicting himself of being a bad coach.

What do the number of penalties have to do with who is dominating the game? Zero.

Jets were not dominated anyway. The lost because of turnovers, dropped passes and special teams.

Off and Def stats were similar.

Interesting point is that since Jets turned in the Pats, all bets are off. Mangini has now put a bulleye on their back for any percieved attempt to gain an unfair advantage.

In a way, Mangini has blacklisted himself in the coaching fraternity. Coaches will not hesitate to go public.

Well, what’s he accusing them of? We have to wait for the Jets’ response before we find out what the problem is?

It seems pretty surprising that the refs wouldn’t have caught this and flagged the Jets, since they are standing right at the line of scrimmage. Ha ha…apparently refs aren’t only blind, but they are also deaf.
