Last night, the Patriots used some strange formations after center Bryan Stork went down with an injury, using 4 offensive lineman at times as part of a deception. John Harbaugh wasn't happy about it, drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after losing it with the refs. After the game, Harbaugh still wasn't happy about it, saying it was "clearly deception" according to Yahoo Sports. Tom Brady took a different approach, however.

Per Pro Football Talk:

“I don’t know,” Brady said. “Who knows? Maybe those guys gotta study the rule book and figure it out. We obviously knew what we were doing and we made some pretty important plays. It was a real good weapon for us. Maybe we’ll have something in store next week.”

“They’ll look at it then,” Brady said. “I don’t know what’s deceiving about that. [They] should figure it out.”

By the way, the league said there was nothing wrong with what the Pats did, so Johnny boy should figure out how to beat it instead of complaining about it and making himself look bad. Not that he needs much help - his team had 2 14 point leads during the course of the game and lost, so that'll be enough to make anyone look bad.
