While it's pretty bad that the level of fanatic competition is at that point, as for the patriots cheating? Boo whoo. Exact same effect as having 4 people just watch the defense and write it down, plus, I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say that next season, signals will be changed for that team.
Now, I suppose when it comes to playoffs, it's a large issue. So assuming they video tape the defence on every team (which people would be looking for now) without getting caught, they would have the ability to... see a defensive signal, have someone call coach, have the coaches relay that signal... through signals of their own....
See Ya George.
