I was taught that playing centerfield or second base MEANT looking for signs from the catcher, why is that wrong?
I don't want to object to what the league decided was unfair and what the Pats were doing was obviously wrong under those rules
I would suggest that it had little to do with the success of the team overall.
I saw my first Pats game at a place called Nickerson Field at Boston University. It was actually an old ballpark where the Boston Braves played before fleeing to Milwaukee. They played the Dallas Texans in snow and I dragged my soon to be wife with me.
We later watched them play in Fenway Park (imagine that - today you can't book a bar mitzvah at Fenway unless you know someone).
It's a lousy football field anyway.
