Havent won a superbowl since they got caught cheating, are they cursed? Doomed to not win another superbowl for 50 years?

It was BG's fault.
Edit: I should clarify that I only watched 1 play in the entire game. Sure enough it was the questionable pass interference play. Whenever I watch football there is ALWAYS 20485 questionable (non)calls per game.

I thought the game was pretty well officiated. There were one or two so-so calls that I thought were missed but I thought the refs for the most part only called blatant penalties which is how it should be done.

I am going with option 3, the Giants were just the better team in all facets.
It was a very good game though!

I felt the refs did a much better job in the post-season keeping the flags in their pocket for the most part.

this is why i like Cuttlery...he says cheating curse.
i'm fine with calling it a curse, but there are a lot of morons that say they dont win the SB because they cant cheat.

i think they just got the number wrong on the holding.
then i think about the non call, and if collinsworth can say it was too close to call it PI, then it was a good non-call.

Every team steals signals and looks for and uses any advantage they can get even through covert espionage<.>
If you say "your team" is innocent you are lying or naive<.>
I remember when this famous Pats incident happened I was surprised to hear Jimmy Johnson say on the Fox pre-game that he used to have one staff member tasked with going to the opposing team's coach's box and retrieve the trashcan contents after every game hoping to gain any edge they could for the next time they meet that team. *So bear in mind that is just what he "admitted" to, no idea what else went on or goes on.

just one of the countless examples of the lack of innocence in the league.
i think Shottenhimers(sp?) was the best...something like what he knows makes spygate look like nothing at all.

I will forever wish that the NFL didn't have the tapes destroyed.
edit: I also know that they did it because putting a black mark on the Patriots is minor.
Putting an asterisk by all 3 Superbowl wins is huge.
It would have been amazing to see what a third party investigator thought about the Patriots argument that "everybody does it".

no doubt a third party investigator would bring in other coaches.

Coaches, referees, owners, former players.
Like I said, I would have loved for there to be a formal investigation instead of "Well we destroyed the tapes. Case closed."

i would have too...then there would have been a clear cut, it's not just the patriots.
countless coaches stated that they had safeguards for taping...practice facilities were modified...most of them were NFC teams and new coaches also.
some even said it was done, some better than others, the pats just got caught.
