If you can't beat 'em on the field, you can always try off the field with distractions.

One doesn t need to have possession of the headsets or radio system components to interfer with the headsets. Its the frequency that it happens in foxboro.

I assume the NFL controls the frequency that is used to send audio to the headsets. Wouldn't the Pats just need to figure out what frequency the Steelers headsets are using and then broadcast on that frequency? Or jam the frequency to cut communication altogether?

I believe both are FCC violations but I still wouldn't put it past them.

The NFL provides the equipment due to established endorsements, that's it. Home team controls the communication.

Link?

The Patriots say theirs were, too. The NFL took responsibility for the breakdown, saying it controls communications equipment, including headsets, for both teams.

The NFL released a statement Friday morning explaining that coaches' communications equipment, including the headsets, is provided by the NFL for both teams' use on game day but that the home team "is responsible for the installation and maintenance of that equipment."

"Every team's game day communications personnel are required to work with the NFL communications consultants to ensure wireless equipment is free and clear of interference and address any problems," said Michael Signora, the league's vice president of football communications. "Technological and stadium infrastructure issues of this type happen at many stadiums around the league and whenever there are issues of this nature, we do a thorough review."

Tell me how they can control the frequency then.
Then explain to me why it also happened to the Patriot's headsets too. The Patriots also complained. I just put the link up with a report about it.

If you into the later part of the game thread, you will see how these work. Who ever has access to them is controlled with a log with a sign-in and a sign-out. I also mentioned my own experience with machinery relying on frequencies at trade shows inside football stadiums ( not to mention convention halls). It happens. It doesn't mean there is some nefarious conspiracy which is unlikely to happen just after Deflategate. Just ridiculous grasping at straws to fit a certain narrative.

Belichick response to all the crap. FWIW (nothing, in your minds, I know).

Because Bellichick is a man who can be trusted. Maybe he's telling the truth here. But he's a pathological liar so you have to take anything he says with more than a grain of salt.

Well...yeah. That's been obvious for a while now. Even if they don't break the rules entirely, it's pretty clear that they're fine with tossing out sportsmanship as long as they can get away with it.

Just own it, Pats fans.


Your team and you are branded as cheaters. Nothing will change that.

Yep. I think if you root for the Patriots or Broncos, best thing to do is just own it. Just say, "I'm a piece of shit", and move on.

Once again, the Patriots involved in some type of issue involving fairness...I'm sure there's an explanation, there always is. ...BUT it kinda gets ya thinking...

So you choose to ignore even the NFL's official statement about what happened, the fact that the NFL controls these headsets? Or that the Patriots complained their headsets were interfered with too.

You're the one living in an alternate reality.

In the past these have picked up police radios, air traffic controllers and pilots talking. That was with technology before 2012. I work at trade shows, where my clients use wireless machines that are sometimes in football stadiums and these bomb out due to the infrastructure.

As I stated in the other thread. Both teams complained of communication failures. Tomlin also stated that they heard the NE coaches talking back and forth. IMO Pitt had the competitive advantage if they could hear the strategies of the NE coaches. If anyone has a right to be mad it is NE and NOT Pitt.

SMH. Heard the other teams coaches strategy and still got pounded.
