Forget Goodell and the NFL, we need the NSA checking out these guys.
I was more thinking we need to put a couple of 16 yr old techie hackers in charge of the coaches headsets

Somehow I see him getting hurt in the first game along with Harvin and we would of wished we kept Tbompson or Davis.
He can't get hurt in the first game unless he trips on a wet towel in the locker room or something

Who is gone?
Suspended players don't count against the 53-man
Hence no Gay on Bills active roster.
???

In regards to the bold....Explain to me then WHY ON GODS GREEN EARTH THEY DO IT???? God, if Belicheck is such a freaking genius do you really believe he would do something and spend time on something that gave them no benefit? They both cant be true now can they.,
This may not be exactly what you're asking, but....it's entirely possible for someone to genuinely have the talent and drive to legitimately succeed but to be driven to skirt, stretch, bend, and break the rules (cheat). IMHO that is the sort of dynamic at work with Belicheck*** and Brady***. I can't explain "why" though. It's one of those mysteries of human psychology. Well established that it happens in all sorts of endeavors, though.

Would he actually play Sunday?
@Browns: NEWS: Browns trade DL Billy Winn to Colts.
DETAILS >> http://t.co/c3YIwvHBLahttp://t.co/HxLVGBvu47
Browns temp GM going rogue with Farmer suspended!
A conditional 2017 pick? Seriously? Any gouge on what round and conditions?

I am an avid Bills fan. I am also a fan of the pro game. It is a priviledge to watch the excellence in the play of Brady and Gradkowski.
I don't hate any team. That is so juvenile. At this point we are not rivals to the Pats because for the past generation we couldn't seriously compete against them. Hopefully, that will change.
Gino or Bruce? I don't want to be a Negative Nancy but I don't think either of them are all that and a bag of chips at their respective positions and anyway, what's this got to do with the Pats***?

Beat his wife
drunk driver
was awful to a kid
Seriously? I think that former is pretty d*@n low as accusations go.
Bridge. Troll. Under.

It could also be that the other kickers they worked out this week weren't any better
You can bet on it, but I don't think they brought in any of the kickers who might have shown better. I mean, Billy Cundiff and Alex Henery?
I think all that was just intended as a wake-up-shot to Carpenter, but if he misses as many FG as the Stillers kicker, they'll be bringing in the best that's out there.
-
Could just be me...but I don't want to hear that at the Ralph, by a LOT! If we're winning, I want to hear fans love on our Bills, and if we're losing, I want to hear fans support our Bills.

Fellow Bills Fans, stout hearts and true:
Please take a minute to go to Nick Mendola's website http://www.nickmendola.com/and read his plug, if you've ever laughed or enjoyed his "let's go Bills" rap to support his gofundme for a little friend fighting neuroblastoma.
I happen to know a bit about this childhood cancer. The best treatment is at Memorial Sloane Kettering in NYC. Because neuroblastoma affects a small number of children, drug companies give the big "not interested!" to developing therapy. There is a quite effective, proven (>10 yr old) immunotherapy but it is still experimental, meaning only available at a few clinical trial sites across the country so parents who want their kids to have the best shot (and it's a huge difference in the odds if the tumor meets the criteria) rack up the "big bills" for travel expenses in addition to medical bills insurance may only partially cover or not cover at all since it may be "out of network"
Anyway, I LMAO at Mendola's corny rap songs on a regular basis so I'm IN with his cause here. "It's a brand new Bills rap...put it on your iPod...for a brand new season...we're rolling with Tyrod" LOL!
-
Well said & also true. Have seen too many mysterious happenings in NE. Of course the answer is for the home teams to respond in similar fashion when the Pats are visiting.
Disagree. That just potentially taints the other teams and gives the Pats*** the "out" of saying "we didn't pull those shenanigans but if we did, see, everyone does that stuff"
a great villain demands a great hero..
I hope!
-
Packers vs Bills this year. Mark it down! Hope Buffalo beats up Indy this week.
Just beat the snot out of Seattle, please?
-
I don't know ... the Pats (hate to admit it) looked really, really good last night. Didn't miss a beat from the Super Bowl. Chandler was a good pick up. They execute almost flawlessly. Must be nice to have a franchise QB ... everything else falls in place.
They looked OK on O. Didn't run as successfully as I believe they'd like to. Brady was compensating successfully for some problems on OL. Problem is, the Steeler's D looked awful and I don't think it's just the Pats being good - they looked pretty bad in preseason.
Their D looked exploitable. Nothing flawless there. The Steelers were sloppy on O IMHO.
-
1. The Steelers defense is terrible, remember Bills preseason game, two in completions?
2. If you know that your defense is bad and you have a questionable kicker, why are you kicking field goals? You are not beating NE with FG's.
3. New England's defense was bad to, Williams ran all over them, what will shady do?
4. What a shocker that there was a problem with the Steelers headsets, what a fluky coincidence.

^that resulted in the Patriots Radio Broadcast of the game blaring into them
If you can watch a replay of the game, read Ben's lips to the refs. He clearly states "They said shift!" over and over, but the refs didn't want to hear it.
OK, he didn't recap that in his post-game presser. Any idea why?
I don't read lips well enough to tell the difference between something like "they said shift!" or "they all shift!" or whatever
So go to a quick snap and catch them trying to shift. If they knew it was coming just screw with them back. It's like BB is out there playing chess and these other coaches are playing hopscotch. Didn't rex do something a couple years ago where he told the ref to watch for the pats doing something and the refs called them on it?
This
-
The D Linemen shouted 'shift' in rhythm with Ben's cadence, which in turn caused half of Ben's line to start the play.
Did they actually shout? According to my understanding, if they actually shouted, that WOULD be illegal.
"there's no rule against disrupting a team's cadence with a defensive line shift, so long as it doesn't involve "words or signals."
-
"They time it up in the cadence," Foster told USA TODAY Sports, smiling and shaking his head. "Yeah, that’s one of the things they do. Welcome to Foxborough."
The point being, he admits they knew the Pats would do that goal-line defensive unit shift, and yet they didn't prepare by making sure their players (*cough* Roeth *cough*) understood the rules and were ready to counter it. They should have had a play ready to exploit it.
I will be upset if we aren't better prepared.
It's legal, and it's the sort of boundry-pushing that Belichel adores - finding loopholes that are quite legal within the rules and arguably against their spirit.

I could get technical on how this actually happens in the headset because I was an avionics tech on harriers in the Marines. I am not going to do that because frankly someone will get all nuts about this. I will keep it simple tho- for the radio station to stream into the headsets they have to be on the same frequency. If there was EMI going on then I would concede that there was no foul play.
AV8!!!! Only plane I'll miss more is the Warthog.
Why are you talking about "equated monthly installments" here? LOL!
JK, I agree completely - if it were EMI (aka "static") it could be some random weather-induced phenomenon. The Patriots Radio Broadcast requires frequency matching, which is too much to swallow as some sort of Act of Nature or weird coincidence. This is the Patriots sending a giant "FU" taunt to the league in my opinion.
I'm sure they have their triple deniability ready: #1) the league controls the headsets, and we were having trouble too #2)uniquely affects them? Oh, the league says it was "stadium infrastructure", nothing to do with us. It's "Kraft Sport Group", not the Patriots. #3) It's been traced to deliberate act of a Kraft Sport Group employee? Well, see, it was just a rogue employee of Kraft Sport Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kraft Group, nothing to do with us Patriots also employed by Kraft Group.
Kraft and his merry men think they have immunity, but ultimately, Goodell works for the league and if the other owners are fed up enough with the Pats bullcrap something will change
Per Tomlin and some articles, Pats*** headsets were not turned off.
The tenor of most of the posts on this topic is embarrassing. The level of excuse making for the historical failure of this dismal franchise is not only pathetic, it is sad. There is no doubt that the Pats under Belichek have pushed the envelope. But to believe that is why they are the most successful franchise in the challenging cap era is a delusional absurdity.
Wait, What?
Dude, are you actually reading anything in this thread? No one is even talking about our beloved Bills, which you choose to refer to as "this dismal franchise".
What I'm seeing is that everyone acknowledges the Patriots and Brady are indeed very very very good, and could likely win without all the envelope-pushing AND cheating - you do realize it's not limited to envelope-pushing like the "reporting ineligible" trick play v. Ravens or the goal-line defensive unit shift v. Stillers last night???? there has been actual cheating here?
A lot of people are just sick of the continued cheating. They could win without it, so why? Why? It's making them unwatchable for some of us, despite their good standard of play.
But hey, if you want to be embarassed by these truths and opinions (mixture), be my guest
-
The pats have no running game. Our front four can stuff that run and we can have williams and darby on gronk. gilmore on edelman and they have nothing.
Belichek has wet dreams about Rex taking that view
Antwan Blake was bad. Real bad. I get that covering Edelman is a difficult task. But he whiffed on tackles and on Gronks TD on that hurry up play where they forgot to convert him, he literally jogged out to tackle him. The first defender couldn't bring him down, but slowed him. And Blake is just half ass trotting towards him and makes a weak attempt for Gronks legs at the 1. He could've had him out at the 2 or 3 if he actually tried. Rewatch that play and see. Just something I noticed and if he were a Bills player, I'd not want him playing.
I thought in general the Steelers played soft and lukewarm (in the Revelation 3:16 sense of the word). I didn't see urgency and passion. I saw miscommunication, missed coverage, poor game management, and missed opportunities to accompany the missed field goals.
-
Plenty of people hate the Seahawks for their brash, arrogant behavior. People hated the Raiders (also cheaters) and the Cowboys when they were great. If we start winning, other fans will hate Rex's bravado. People hate the Pats because they win and it's magnified by the cheating, if they were the Browns and pulling all these bush league stunts while going 5-11 every year they'd simply be a laughingstock.
I guess the point I'd make is what you express: "it's magnified by the cheating".
People don't hate the arrogant, brash Seahawks or the Cowboys (in "America's Team" days) the same way. You're right, success will always build a certain amount of hate, but it's not the same depth and breadth of what I feel. Before the cheating came out, I felt the same way about the Patriots***, hate mixed with admiration and awe. Now that the extent of their rule skirting, breaking, and outright cheating has come out, all I can tell you is the quality of my Pats*** hate has changed.
And it's a shame, in a way, because I truly believe they could win without it.
People hated the Raiders because they were dirty.
-
Comment during tonight's game was success breeds contempt.
Well no.. Nobody hated the packers with Favre or now with Rogers.
People hate the Patriots and Brady because they are cheaters. They have proven again and again they cheat. Note the radio broadcasts into the Steelers headsets.
They don't care about honor of winning fairly, and know when caught - it doesn't matter. They have been caught numerous times.
That is why there is such vile hatred of the cheatriots.
And now the league including Godell are shown to be laughing stocks. Just a bunch of spoiled brats and millionaire owners engaged in bilking the public as a fair and honorable game, where every team and player has a chance - NOT!
Feels as slimy as a Las Vegas slot machine.
I agree with you completely. It has nothing to do with winning, and everything to do with the fact that the Patriots have a pattern of winning by skirting, circumventing, or outright breaking the rules.
Did you get the crowd chants "Where is Roger?" That had to have been led by the stadium IMHO.
Maybe we're looking at this all wrong. Bear with me.
The NFL controls the headsets, the NFL is pissed off at the Patriots. Maybe they hijacked it toThe create another cheating controversy knowing that nobody would question it.
The problem was announced due to "Stadium Infrastructure". Who controls that?
-
Just a few thoughts on Brady & Rothlesberger . Both are really good QB's to start !
But
The reason why every one including me hates the Brady & the Pats is because if you haven't noticed they are REALLY REALLY GOOD !!
Brady no matter what you think of him is one if not the best QB to ever play the game !!
If he was traded to the Bills every one on this & all other sights would instantly love him like they did when we signed Drew Bledsoe & rightfully so because the dude is just a flat out baller .
I for one am glad that he got his suspension over turned because when the Bills beat them next sunday it will be legit !
If he wasn't playing it would be - (add sarcastic voice here) well you didn't beat them with Brady at QB . But Rex & company will show them all just how good we are when they hit the field ...
Go Bills !!!!
Actually, I agree with everything you say about Brady, including the point that after we beat them I don't want an asterisk on the win.
I don't think that's why we hate the Pats*** though. For me, anyway, I hate them because winning isn't enough for them. They have to skirt, bend, and thwart the rules, from the "stadium infrastructure" headset malfunction to that (apparently legal, but designed to mimic an illegal) goalline defense shift. They are arguably good enough to win without that stuff, but they just have to have it. And the league "just gives it to them" historically.
Take Green Bay. Rodgers is amazing, but all I feel watching a Green Bay game (when they're not playing us) is enjoyment of the game. I'd love to see Rodgers in a Bills uni. And the Seattle no-longer-to-be-known-by-me-as-Seasnakes-in-honor-of-Fredex Seahawks, I think they've got a nice bunch of thugs but they play the game like it should be played, hard and physical.
I hate the Pats*** because they make it impossible for me to enjoy watching the game, knowing all the cr** they pull or might pull at any time.

1. Pittsburgh had plenty of chances, I cannot understand why they took Williams out at the goal line, he was running hard.
2. Then end zone throw was on the receiver, he has to know where the line is, should have been a TD.
3. That could have turned the game around, reminded me of Rory Fitzpatrick looking up for the puck...
4. There were times that no one lined up against Gronk, the new DC better get his act together, poor communication.
5.
6.
7.
8. All those people who said they would rather face Brady than Garoppolo in week 2 are freaking crazy!
2. I agree that a more aware WR makes that a TD. But it was a challenging throw from Roeth. There were several others - that total circus catch along the sidelines comes to mind. If it were our QB, from what I've seen we would be on their case for poor throws and trying to get the receivers killed. Because it was Roeth, he gets the benefit of the doubt and the media pundits are on the receiver, for bad (missed TD) or for good (incredible catch).
9. What's with that goal line shift that Roeth was so hot about? I hope we're ready for that kind of trickery.
Lots of communication errors (apparently) by the Steelers D. I get it Gronk can make good players look like keystone cops, but ya can't leave him uncovered. I hope that game lulls the Pats into a restful state where we cream the butter out of them last week
Overall, I thought the Pats looked beatable. I hope Sunday nite Rex stays up late game planning.

post game, it was crazy, i cant wait to see the unedited cut.
im telling you man, the league is on full on revolt.
the networks are in damage control, the announcers are painting such a rosy picture.
profootballtalk, through nbcsports, who showed the game tonight (no conflict of interest there), isnt reporting the full details of the press conference, and nfl network cut away from it live.
fascinating.
This purports to be the full text http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/09/11/the-full-text-of-tomlins-comments-about-communications-issues/
The league asserts the problem was caused by a "stadium power infrastructure issue". Which doesn't sound to me like something the league controls. Ahem.
-
The Steelers defense was exposed. IT will take time for them to get back to where they were under Dick LeBeau.
Agreed. But if the FG kicker did his job, Roeth and his WR were a bit more in tune, and Roeth doesn't chuck deep into double coverage, at the very worst it would have been a much closer game.
