Hard to hear the crowd noise when you're too busy eating the astroturf.

There were plenty of discussions about how the headsets mysteriously went out in new england. So you might want to rethink your argument here
No, if a team is screwing with headsets, that is garbage and it does change the game being played.
But if a team has a headset problem, they tell the ref and both teams lose their headsets.
Peyton laid on the ground in the fetal position in tears and admitted that TFB is the greatest QB of all time.
Actually, I didn’t see if they spoke or not.
I have not heard about this charge against the Colts, either, but here in WA State there was a big deal made about the Seahawks stadium. It was determined that there was no hidden sound system, just fans who were as loud as hell.

From last year or the year before. Manning ate more turf than Brady did last night.
Wes Welker is so clutch
_________
not only clutch but very smart, in tune with what is going on, where he is on the field, first down marker, etc etc.
When he caught the first down late in the game, and then immediately fell to the ground so the clock would keep moving ... so heads up.
Gosh am I gonna love watching them kill the Ravens ... oh wait, I’m from Baltimore. And I would love for the Ravens to win, but I’m out of pixie dust.
But after reading this, yeah, I definitely heard it. They turned the skip sound off pretty quickly, too, and I remember it got MUCH more quiet after.
My neighbor is from Buffalo. Now that they are 4-4 he is convinced that they are the team to beat the Pats.
To answer your next question, yes he is joking and yes, he does drink alot!
Hard to hold onto a ball when all those Pizza Hut Pizzas you shill leaves grease on your hands. Or was it fried chicken that he was selling that made his hands so slippery?
LOL! What happened after the game? Did Brady and Manning shake hands and speak? I missed it. :(

It got 25 colder in my house watching Dungy and Bellicek meet after the game. Neither seemed to look the other in the eye.
I actually thought Peyton was looking for Brady, unless he usually just aimlessly wanders off the field at the end of a game.
Steelers will be the hurdle unless the wheels some off of their wagon. Pats play them in NE thankfully.
Speaking of, I chuckled when the Bus last night was adamant they would not go undefeated and at the rate they are going were not the best team ever.
Crowd Noise?
I was at the Drag Races during this game. These players need to find something louder!
I’ve heard a few teams complain about it, but this is the first time that something has happened that could be evidence (the tape sure sounds funny). Of course a lot of folks complain but write it off as gamesmanship, everybody seems to do something to annoy visitors, especially dome teams. I remember a few years ago there was a minor to-do because the Vikes put huge speakers suspiciously close to the visitors bench making the most basic sideline communication difficult. And that’s just the NFL, NHL fans might remember the tale of the Colorado visitors bench which eventually resulted in the Wings bringing their own park style benches and yanking out the ones in place, then there’s the humid baseball thing, and which college team painted the visitors locker room pink. They don’t call it home field advantage for nothing.
Dungy made some pretentious statements about the filming thing from a “I am Tony Dungy Christian point of view”. Which totally surprised me I would have thought Dungy would have chosen to be silent.
Why shouldn’t Bellicheck file a complaint? This is something that visitors to Indy have been complaining about informally (because there was never any proof) for years, finally something happened that might provide evidence that those complaints might be valid. Who the head coach of the other team was when this happened, and what they’ve done in recent months, shouldn’t matter. The rules clearly state you can’t pipe in artificial noise during play, if the Colts are doing that it’s cheating, period. People need to stop being hypocritical about this, if they’re going to spend 2 months complaining about the Pats breaking a rule then they need to do the same with Indy (assuming the investigation goes against them), don’t get all weasily just because the time something went wrong and they got caught it was against the Pats.
Do many pro football teams use wireless communications between QB and coach? For some reason, I was under the impression that wasn't allowed.

They all do. It’s legal. Has been for a number of years now.
