Around the Nfl week 1

Lol crowd chanting "where is Roger" funny funny.

I was trying to figure out what they were chanting.. lol..

Big Ben hasn't really impressed me since that motorcycle wreck..

There was no way the commissioner was showing his face in New England last night. For his own safety it was probably a good idea for him to stay in NY.

I could have sworn I heard Al Michaels call the NE coach "BeliTRICK" on last night's broadcast.

Gronkowski is beating the hell out of the Steelers.. Where do we get one of those?

He is the best player at his position and probably the 2nd best player that is not a QB.

From cbssports.com:

The timing for Pittsburgh's headset issues on Thursday was something else, coming on the heels of a report last week about the Patriots trying to gain an advantage by any means necessary, including headset frequencies. It was almost funny, unless you're Mike Tomlin.

The Steelers coach was borderline irate during his postgame press conference, saying it's "always the case" in New England to deal with headset/connection issues.

Here's the full exchange between Tomlin and reporters at Gillette:

Mike there was a report that your radio went out?

“That's always the case.”

Here?

“Yes.”

So you're saying every time you play here you have rad—

“I said what I said.”

Mike what exactly happened, you just didn't have any communication?

“We were listening to the Patriots radio broadcast for the majority of the first half. On our headsets.”

It's easy to accuse the Patriots of cheating every time something goes wrong just as it's easy to give to credit to god when things go right. Sometimes you want something to be true so bad that you'll only accept that as the possible cause.

One minute Belichick is a genius the next he's such a bumbling idiot that he would jam radios during a time when everything he does is under a microscope?

The Pats aren't unbeatable. Teams beat them all the time. You want to win? quit spending so much time making excuses and beat them. Radio communication had zero to do with Gronk being wide open half the game.

It's not that he's just making great plays on good defense. They are leaving him wide the fuck open. Not a single guy guarding him. At what point do you say....ummm....let's guard this guy?? Steelers defense is bad. So is the Patriots D as well.

Steelers safety play looked familiar. Missed assignments, not communicating, poor tackling...Their corner play wasnt much better, but the safety play stood out. That guy Mitchell who we wanted at safety is effing terrible.

Looks especially bad when a top 5 QB in the history of the league is throwing the ball.

Anyone else annoyed that they did all these interviews with the Patriots players asking them about the controversies in the past and they were like, "Oh, we rose about Spygate, we rose above Deflategate, and now we're back on track." So you're just saying, "Yup, even all those times we cheated, we're OK with that and we're back"? So weak. Wanted the Steelers to pound them, but you can't do that when you play pitch and catch with Gronk.
