Hey Chief, The Boss said you were "inane". A little different than insane.

My grandmother used to say if the shoe fits, wear it. Looks like he jumped into both shoes.

Who really gives a crap. It's not like anyone can do a thing about it. And I bet just about all teams cheat one way or the other. Tell me you've never cheated.... and I'll say Horse Hockey.

Unfortunately this is a bad year for us- I am a Houston Texan fan.

I’m sure we have done things in the past, and don’t even bother bringing up Cushing... I still like him because he is on my team and has supported us (when not suspended).

JJ is a god in our town and hopefully Deshaun Watson is our future.

Because of my job I get to go to A LOT of NFL games all over. Some places are great no matter who you are with (Green Bay), some get a bad rap (Oakland and Seattle really aren’t that bad), some are just rude (New England) and some like to fight (49ers and Browns). Most are just a good time no matter what.

I went to the Manning/Brady game in NE that snowed really bad. We were field level and as a dumb redneck I wasn’t impressed.

Not looking to slam, I'll leave that to the rest of you - just looking for perspective.

People are only rude at NE games if you're rude first. I've never had a bad experience with any Patriots, Bruins, Celtics, or RedSox crowd.

My friends from Bas-tone drop so many F'bombs in their normal speak I can never tell if they're pissed off or not.

It's a perfectly useful word - it's a noun, a verb, an adverb & an adjective.

No he's right, a lot of them are rude, and belligerent when drunk.

Colts fan here, that’s not going to happen. If anything, this kind of “fake news” seems to fuel this team.

Yeah, it will be poor officiating, bad, and missed calls, etc.

I agree. I'm not a rabid fan of any NFL team in particular. I do like to see an underdog team play the game well. Like when the Dolphins beat the Pat's a few weeks ago, although Gronk was suspended for that game.

My take on winning is: to win you have to overcome ALL the obstacles, including officials.

A teams that bands together (like the Pat's since 2001), with great resolve and the positive spirit can accomplish a lot! The crazy thing is when a team buys into this, and starts a run of their own...
I'm not recognizing any team starting a new run, yet...

So, who's to blame for that big win, besides Brady?

That's not going to happen - 9-7 and playing in Foxboro?

So I guess the Titans can count on having headset issues.

"It’s a league problem. It’s wherever," Panthers coach Ron Rivera said, via PFT. "It will go out right in the middle and not just here or in New England or in San Francisco, but it could go out in a critical time."

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett: "That’s certainly been a part of having to deal with game-day situations, throughout my career as a player and a coach."

Speaking of the Cowboys, here's Texans coach Bill O'Brien: "It happened in Dallas, it happens here, it happens wherever I’ve been."

Eagles coach Chip Kelly: "I’ve heard a lot of things on the headsets, I think there’s a lot of frequency issues some places. I’ve heard air traffic control and a lot of different things."

First-year Jets coach Todd Bowles: "It’s happened a bunch of other places. There have been times when the headsets have gone out, it wasn’t New England, I can’t remember the places we’ve had it, but we’ve had some of those headset problems."

The NFL seems to be doing everything to deflect blame away from the Patriots. In an official statement, they said that the interference was caused by “a stadium power infrastructure issue, which was exacerbated by the inclement weather.” Even if true, these errors should really be few and far between. The NFL also has a reason to deflect blame away from the headsets that coaches use, as they’ve recently (in 2014) signed a five-year deal with Bose that’s reportedly worth over $50 million per year.

Either way, with hundreds of millions of fans around the world, and unfathomable amounts of money invested in the sport, the NFL should really be doing more to fix these technology bugs that affect games. When teams violate rules, the NFL is unabashedly harsh on them; look at the Atlanta Falcons in 2015 when they pumped fake crowd noise into the stadium. Maybe if the NFL wants to preserve the integrity of their game — and to remove the already large cloud that’s hovering over it — it must also be harsher on itself.
