Tomlin: Headset malfunction Majority of 1st half

even if his headset worked, what could he do about the D?

 

You could see Roethlisberger struggling with reception during pregame.

It happens all the time at Foxboro and has been for years. Marvin Lewis and Karlos Dansby are named sources plus some anonymous ones.

 

Thanks ttf!

 

None of the reports mentioned coach to player comms it was all coach to coach.

 

If you can't talk to them you can't set them up and that is huge in a new defense.

 

He didn't flat out call them cheats, so yeah, he did mince words.

 

How is it possible when we can control drones halfway around the world, and the NFL has more money than the military, that the stadium/league is in charge of headset communications and it is screwed up. Allow the teams to control their own communications, unless there is some "fairness" they are trying to enforce, which obviously is failing.

 

Whoa, yeah, he's pissed, and I don't blame him.

 

Reports by ESPN?

If you taped the game watch Roethlisberger struggle with his helmet. Someone vouge for me on this?

 

I am not sticking up for the Pats, I hate them about as much as I do the Raven's. But ARE WE SURE when the head set malfunction happened aren't the refs suppose to remove the other teams headsets? Did this happen?

 

NFL is changing it's name to PFL (Patriot Football League)! Oh, and as for "radiogate" let's throw the "IT" guys under the bus!...........oops! Did I just say that out loud?

 

Tomlin pissed?

Wow. That'll put the old fright into Goodell's panties.

 

One of the headline stories for the today show this morning is radiogate. Hasn't aired yet, but it should be coming up soon.

 

i seen what your talking about.. but that might have been volume problem or somthing in his helment,, i saw he gave them a thumbs up

 

That's some crap right there. Although, I wouldn't put it past the NFL to screw it up on purpose to throw dirt on the Patriots front and center on opening night.

Would definitely cement every other fan-base against them.

What ticked me off was the smugness of the local media about it! They all had the "so what you got beat" attitude! The smugness is strong with these people!

One guy actually said it was like a big finger to the NFL and he would love it if they had done it on purpose! WTF?!

 

Or Hacked. Surely you wouldn't doubt the Pats would do something like that would you? It was their stadium after all.

 

What's really sad is the fact that when he was asked about this in his presser he was pretty clear that he thought it wasn't a coincidence but then tried to move on from his remarks and then the press sorta, well, pressed him on it and it seemed he was about to open up a little more and then NFL Network IMMEDIATELY cuts away! Then, Heath Evans, a former Patriot was acting like it was no big deal and saying "well if their headset was out so was the Pats" but the deal of it all for me is the fact that Tomlin said it "always" happens there. Charlie Batch said on Cooler Talk that it's not unusual in the NFL for that to happen and that it happens often BUT in Gillette it "always" happens. That just seems more than a coincidence since several other teams have complained about it. Yes, I know that our defense couldn't find their faces with a mirror which is EXACTLY why we need as level a playing field as possible.

 

The New England Patriots "are who we thought they were"! They are the poster organization for winning ar all costs. Unfortunately, their lack of accountability and credibility is rewarded, not punished. A small microcosm of the erosion of morals and values in sports (and other things).

 

Oh you could tell. I was watching it too. He was very mad.

 

Tomlin should have called a timeout immediately at the first indication that there was a problem with the headsets and then refuse to continue the game until the problem was resolved. He then should have demanded that he get that time out back. I'm so sick of the Patriots pulling the wool over the eyes of the NFL.

 

And you don't think the Pats could figure out a way to tamper with it in their own stadium.

 

I can't read this whole thread

Holy crap the Patriots don't stop for anything
