Everyone's favorite doosh Felger actually intimated that belichick was lying about the patriots having communication issues tonight....this was on csn post game

 

[Rob0729]

THe NFL community is not that big but aside from Mike Tomlin noone wants to actually put their name to it. hmmm

He backtracked pretty quick when he realized his initial comments opened a Pandora's Box. Of course, people will only focus on him saying it happens in Gillette all the time.

 

[Rob0729]

BTW, Tomlin has only coached in New England three times as head coach of the Steelers prior tonight. The Steelers played in NE in 2007, 2008, and 2013. People are now going to make it like the Steelers play in Foxboro every year and there is a problem. At most, it could have happened 4 times.

Yes! Of course it makes sense! The Patriots would cheat at the very first chance with all eyes on them after an offseason of being accused as being cheaters day in and day out!

There should be a mass production of tinfoil hats for all the butthurt idiots ready to complain about this.

 

[Joey007]

Looks like even NFL.com is ackowledging it right. Headline reads: Steelers AND Patriots with communication issues.

 

[Wrath Mania]

Hard to forget that BB implicitly defended Tomlin after his tripping incident; he was asked about it in a presser and gave an innocuous answer like it was an honest mistake, and as a coach he himself took it as a lesson to be more mindful of where he was on the sidelines.

Really **** move by Tomlin, in any event. Maybe he should worry more about how incompetent his team's situational awareness seems to be.

Odds are Steelers lost more because of THIS than the headsets

And yet the NFL spokesman who put out the release refused to acknowledge the Patriots issues. **** the league.

Yes. Teams think the Patriots cheat. Not news. And? Should be a prove it or shut up deal. And just enjoy winning is what fans should do.

"There were a few plays that didn't come in, but that happens. That's nothing new. I didn't think there were too many issues tonight with communication between (offensive coordinator) Todd (Haley) and myself," Roethlisberger said.

As many have already said, this crap is going to happen all season long and we will have to learn to deal with it without pulling out our hair.

My dad was at the bank talking to a teller friend of his two days ago about Brady. Some lady two lines over and not involved in the conversation in any way actually said out loud, "Brady should have been suspended!" My dad asked her why and she said "Because he is a cheater!" At that point my dad pointed out that there was no evidence of that and walked out before she could say anything else.

I mean, come on! You can't even have a conversation about Brady and the Patriots without some yahoo who isn't part of the conversation jumping in with the cheaters mantra. It does sap the energy out of me at times, dealing with the stupidity.

My dad pointed me to some article where the Patriots are now the most hated sports franchise in the country, ahead of the Yankees and the Cowboys. No surprise there.

I wish you all well in dealing with the haters in your necks of the woods. It won't be easy but I'm afraid that it is a cross we will all have to bear for the foreseeable future.

Eh. After some things I've seen them pull this isn't awful.

The rapist is more classy than the coach. Cool

 

[robbomango]

After the 7 months we just had Tomlin comes out after losing and pulls this BS, he just shot to the top of a long list of cry babies. Good job deflecting Mike....

 

[supafly]

Everyone should know by now that it's the NFL who controls the headset communications, not the "home team," as suggested by the announcers. I believe all communications are sponsored by Microsoft if I'm not mistaken.

Of course we'll hear little in terms of a true explanation.

Most of you are missing the larger point: Tomlin isn't alone. The rest of the NFL has had enough and is calling BS. This isn't the end of it

Do these moron really think the pats after going through what they did and losing a draft pick in the process would come out and do this opening night ?
People like silver will say yes becaue they are "arrogant"

This is my biggest issue with this stuff. NFL fans act like New England fans are being babies when they are defensive about the team, but the mouth-breathers of their own fanbase get zero ridicule. At opposing stadiums (mainly Buffalo and Pittsburgh) I have been called every name possible, had things thrown at me, had someone sprint up behind me and my girlfriend to try and knock her over (they almost fell and got the **** kicked out of them too), had a person threaten to piss on me in the restroom and had someone try to block me from using public transportation after a game. No fanbase should have to put up with this ****, even if the allegations against the team were true.

Are we gonna lose more draft pick over this?

Well, he's right. The rest of the NFL has had enough of Brady, Belichick, and the Pats making fools of them.
