Report: NFL clears Bills of any noise violation vs Pats

Of course, the NFL clears them. Hard evidence like televised video, seen by millions, showing a clear violation escapes the geniuses working for the NFL. While friendly banter between two friends making jokes about their genitals is clear evidence of a carefully orchestrated illegal scheme to those Einsteins. Smh

I doubt that loophole exists. If so every team would just give fans foghorns. It isn't a big deal, but don't blow smoke up our asses, the **** was on TV. Guarantee if the Pats handed out fog horns the would be a ten jillion dollar fine.

Crowd noise helps the home team, any idiot can squeeze a foghorn. Are the y gonna allow it or not?

Because arbitrarily allowing it for those that please the king is the worst possible application of a rule.

I want Vuvuzelas at the next Bills game.

Well they must have done something.

I have an idea. Bob Kraft goes out and buys a couple of truck loads (about 60K) of cheap air horns and distributes them to the pro shop and all the other retail outlets that sell Pats stuff. Sell them cheap for about $5/each with all the money going to some charity. He puts them on sale for the Bills game, so every time the Bills go to the LOS those horns go on.....,.and they blare every time time the Bills go to the LOS until the air goes out,

Of course now that we know that the league allows this kind of noise, Kraft should buy about 4 steam train whistles, position them around the stadium and make a mockery of what the NFL calls noise rules. Once again Bob Kraft should fully understand his franchise is a war with the current power structure that runs the league and at EVERY opportunity he should be embarrassing them.

This comes from a BUF beat/sideline reporter that has access to team facilities and practices, so I'm guessing is not bogus.

Either way, no Ted Wells investigation for this?? Where is Mark Brunnell to cry about the integrity?

This issue will be swept under the rug by major networks because is not the Patriots, as usual.

If this happened in Foxboro all hell would break loose.

Clearly we don't need any tricks to beat the Bills.

5M investigation finding it was more probable than not that speakers were used and BB was generally aware. One season suspension and two first rounders...

Did the patriots formally accuse the bills of piping in crowd noise?

Do we know for a fact that the NFL's rationale for no violation was that the sound did not go through the stadium's PA system, or is that speculation at this time?

Also, do we know for a fact that it did not go through the stadium's loudspeakers?

More importantly, isn't the train horn "artificial noise", just like the Falcons were fined for - even if it indeed did not go through the PA system?

All you need to know is they haven't won a Super Bowl since TrainGate.

They haven't won a Super Bowl since Watergate.....oh wait, it was actually the year of the Caveman Bowl....now I remember....History says this was the year the Cavemen in the Buffalo area were caught whittling down their clubs to make them faster when swinging.

Yup good old Club-Gate, back in the days Buffalo was actually relevant.

Where were all the NFL suits breathlessly running around and screaming at regular Buffalo staff about how they were in big flippin trouble. Nothing to see here folks, everyone move along...

Nice to know the NFL is speedy in it's investigations.

Easy solution: the Pats should just get their own train horn. I guarantee the moment the Pats do it the league will issue a memo saying it's now illegal.

Report: High pitch sound using Pats-Bills game actually live censorship of Tom Brady's swearing. Another 4 game suspension.

They already have a bunch of guys hanging out in the end zone with firearms....

Another week, another issue.... we're on to Jacksonville!

Apparently the TV Broadcast I watched wasn't synced to the TV audio... At least the integrity* of the game wasn't affected.

NFL=Never, Fine, Losers

I suppose if they fired the muskets while the opposing teams offense was lined up, your post might make a bit of sense.

I've seen a lot written about this but didn't notice it during the game, nor have I seen any GIFs showing this. Anyone got a GIF?
