Quote:Has anyone seen where Antonio Smith essentially accused New England of spying on them? The relevant quote is below:

 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">"...'I just think it will be a big coincidence if that just happened by chance," he said. "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,
'..."

 

To me, this speaks to a symptom that every coach hates; finger-pointing. It seems as if the players are looking for excuses as to why they aren't winning and they're picking out anyone besides themselves. Ironically enough, this reminds me of a great quote that was credited to the late Bum Phillips, former Houston Oilers coach:

 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">"You fail all the time, but you aren't a failure until you start blaming someone else.
"

Despite all of this, I think that Jacksonville loses this game to Houston. While I don't think that Tate will have quite the day that he did versus New England -- 102 yards, three touchdowns -- I think that their offense is going to be too much to overcome. Man, I really, really hope I'm wrong about that.
