Steelers Accuse Patriots Of Cheating On Opening Night
Steelers Accuse Patriots Of Cheating On Opening Night
Steelers.com - The Official Site Of The Pittsburgh Steelers
"NO SURPRISE AT ALL
This is the kind of stuff that happens to the visiting team in Gillette Stadium all the time. From the start of the game through the opening 14 minutes of the first quarter, the Steelers coaches headsets were receiving the Patriots Radio Network broadcast of the game. The broadcast was so loud that the Steelers coaches were unable to communicate, and the NFL rule is that if one teams headsets are not working the other team is supposed to be forced to take their headsets off. Its what the NFL calls the Equity Rule.
Strangely enough, whenever an NFL representative proceeded to the New England sideline to shut down their headsets, the Steelers headsets cleared. Then as the representative walked away from the New England sideline, the Steelers headsets again started to receive the Patriots game broadcast."

When I said the ESPN story the other day showed that the Patriots legacy was tainted, I had people telling me I was crazy. Now this. I hear twitter is abuzz with this story. The Patriots will be tainted with cheating suspicions from now into the foreseeable future. Maybe 50 years from now people will forget about it.
The stage is set...Another year of ''cheating Pats''...
Belichick can't help himself.
They were talking about this last evening live, immediately, as it was happening during the game. The word though last night was that the Pat's broadcast bleed into the Steelers headset was not overwhelming their ability to communicate. Strange. Either way, the Steelers looked good moving the ball, and set some pretty decent edges on defense, but had a hard time putting the ball in the end zone.
Glad the NFL is back on!
:~)
Actually,,,
There was a play somewhat early on where the Pats where on Goal line defense and shifted the entire line, drawing the Steelers offside. To me, that is the definition of making the most of a rule not yet written...
Secret to beating the Patriots?
Don't suck.
LOL, that's no secret!
Nice to see ya Robert!
Tomlin found out where Gronk was by listening to the game on his headset.
If they're that good they shouldn't have to cheat.
NFL releases statement
And if Patriot fans were better people they wouldn't laugh so hard when they see the big tough Steelers coach whining.
All I see Patriots fans do is be dismissive and make jokes. ESPN had a very detailed report that said quite plainly that the Patriots have been cheating for years and years. I'll take their word over that of patriots fans if you don't mind.
ESPN's hot scoop, repackaging ten year old news?
Sports "journalists" desperate to be seen as significant.
Other than aging, gullible Bears fans still living 1985, ESPN embarrassed itself. As did the Steelers coach.
Just admire the Patriot's greatness, John, and wish it would touch Chicago again. Or maybe you can lobby the NFL to give out good citizen participation trophies, everybody gets one, in place of the Lombardi Trophy.
I don't mind you being delusional. It is just a game after all.
What's the over/under for Cutler interceptions this wee?
Too many.
The Bears are probably an 8-8 team.
I'm joost sayin'
8-8 should be the goal. To not hurt too many feelings. To not give the impression that winning is important.
To lose graciously. To lose, when it seemed like you had the game locked up. To snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
America, 2015.
