We didnt lose the game because of any Spygate, because of them having any additional things, Cowher said. I think if theyre guilty of anything, theyre guilty of arrogance, because they were told not to do something. But it was something that everybody does. The only thing they got caught [was] doing it with a camera. We had people that always tried to steal signals. Stealing someones signals was a part of the game, and everybody attempted to do that.
Part of the things we had [were] wristbands that we were using to do it. Its not even an element anymore because of the communications that take place on the field to the quarterback, to the linebacker. So its an element of the game that doesnt exist, and really, what happened when we lost that game is they outplayed us, and it has nothing to do with stealing signals, or cheating, or anything else. They were a better football team on that day.
