Related: About this forumPats accused of cheating (again)
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/spygate-ii-texans-smith-suspicious-patriots-halftime-adjustments-153502701--nfl.htmlOn Sunday, the Texans were pushing the Patriots around the field in the first half. But, much like the Denver-New England game the week before, the Patriots made some halftime adjustments and ended up winning the game 34-31.
There are two possibilities here: that the Patriots are exceptionally good at changing game plans on the fly, or, as Texans defensive end Antonio Smith suggests, there's something "suspicious" going on.
"I'm very suspicious," Smith said to a group of reporters after the game. "I just think it will be a big coincidence if that just happened by chance. I don't know for sure, but I just know it was something that we practiced this week ... Either teams are spying on us or scouting us." Or possibly the Texans are a terrible football team, but we understand why Smith wouldn't take that explanation.

Poor Antonio, he's too stupid to understand the concept of half-time adjustments...

Have they checked Antonio for a concussion yet?

Not in the first half, they didn't. And it wasn't like the Texans did something the Pats had NEVER seen before. Of course they're going to make halftime adjustments.
