Are you implying that Tomlin made excuses for losing? I must've missed that. It's 2015, dude. They shouldn't be having coach to coach communication issues. There's a big difference between being pissed off and saying it's the reason they lost. It's ridiculous that a league with nearly 10 billion in revenue can't get something like this right.

I couldn't agree more.
It happens in every stadium. When it happens file a complaint. Don't make the excuse it was the headsets that made you lose the game when your opponent was dealing with the same issue.
I was listening to tech on the radio talk about it and it has to do with a wifi issue and narrow bandwidth combined with weather and other shit.
LOL
and Gronk was evidently playing with the wrong number on his uniform
everyone on Pitt thought he was 78 and didn't bother trying to stop him
OK, we all concur. But it does happen and it happens all over the NFL including Pittsburgh. Mike Tomlin is a fucking asshole for trying to make this more than it was, he was whining like a little spoiled bitch. Then Ben moans because the Patriot defense outsmarted his offensive line, too damn funny
it's not like anyone from the Patriots ran on the field to impede the progress of a Pitt player, I lost tons of respect for Mike Tomlin this week. Fuck him too and another FU to ESPN
but I'll tell you what, I don't want it to stop. I want the losers to keep the Pats 1,000% focused, I love it when they have fire in the belly
Those dirty cheaters!! Vikings*

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson said he frequently would hear only part of a play call, and that’s why the team used two timeouts trying to get the offense organized.
“I could hear bits and pieces of the play. You hear the formation or protection or route or whatever it may be, so you just try to put the two together,” Wilson said.
Seahawks guard J.R. Sweezy said the Seahawks showed later in the game, when the headsets were working, how their offense can play when there are no communications problems.
“There were a couple times we weren’t on the same page,” Sweezy said. “When we’re all on the same page, we’re really good. That kind of explains why we were slow at the beginning.”
Headset complaints became a major story in the first game of the regular season, when the Steelers complained that they were having problems in New England, and some suggested that the Patriots could have been to blame. The NFL, however, said the league, not the home team, is responsible for making sure communications between the sideline, the press box and the quarterback’s helmet are working properly. The Seahawks may want to have a talk with the league office about ensuring there aren’t similar problems next weekend in Carolina.
