About deflate gate it was one game and the Patriots did better with fully inflated balls. So non issue
About Spygate it was one game and basically mangini was a snitch. He recently said he regretted snitching on Belichick. But that's beside the point. After the Patriots were caught, with all the microscope on them to make sure they weren't cheating...they finished the regular season undefeated. So where's the cheating the other 15 games of the year?
When the balls were inflated against Seattle they won the championship. Was that cheating? Was making the playoffs again the next year and making the afc championship cheating?
People blame Patriots for cheating but if you pay attention to both incidents they really take place over two games out of what... 12 seasons? How is that extrapolated to this franchise cheats overall?
Good scouting and team play isn't cheating. The raiders cheated and encouraged it. Not the Patriots.
