If this team is so good - why did they even attempt to cheat at all??

It just shows that they can't actually win without some kind of advantage. It could be the snow plow, the tuck rule, spygate or deflate-gate - all of these things add up. They are cheaters who constantly get caught. Why do people insist on sticking up for this team even though they keep getting caught?? If everyone else is doing it, that is not an excuse . . .
