Imagine if the Donkey's tablets had failed at Gillette

I'm sure Greg Doyle alone would have tweeted about it a thousand times.

Peyton* had 0 TDs, and Denver* had only 6 points, after the tablet issue was resolved.

Can anyone shed light onto whether or not if one team's tablets malfunction then the other team can not use theirs until the former's resume functioning? Or is this only headsets?

Only the headset.

I thought I had seen the opposite in a Washington-Dallas game this year. Washington's tablets went out so Dallas had to stop using theirs.

The league told CBS that only applies if one set of tablets break before kick off.

If this happened at the Gillette, Ted Wells and his moustache would already be on the case 'cause "integrity".

I'd have an extra few evenings in May, because the Patriots wouldn't have a draft.

If Denver's tablets had failed at Gillette, it would be getting airtime on CNN, Fox, lead the network nightly news, and make Mark Brunell cry

it's not the reason they lost or anything but no doubt in my mind, this wasn't just some random thing, just for the fact that all the tablets were messed up and not just one or a few. has nfl shadiness stink all over it

Yep. Doubt there has been a peep about it across sports media this morning

Wtf? So if it fails during the game then too damn bad? How does that make sense?

Goodell would be asking what Ted Wells is doing for the next few months.

I suspect that there was a hacker among the Denver faithful.

The cause was a Windows Update....

Seriously?

Agreed. I posted something like this in another thread yesterday, just imagine if the tables were reversed. It would be Surface-Gate and all the mediots would eat that **** up!

Sorry....It was a bad joke.

It was actually a networking issue.

Microsoft Surface tablets 'fail' spectacularly during live NFL broadcast

also f*** phil simms, with his little comments about the all-22 wouldn't help the Pats and "manning is sitting there how you like my arm now"

Yep, and then CBS tried justifying it by saying something like Belichick thinks the printed photos do the job just as well anyway.

It's a bit crap and massively inconsistent with the headset rule...but what isn't inconsistent in the rule book now a days?

It's nbd but you can bet it would be #tabletgate if it was at the razor
