Why don't teams double and rough the shit out of Gronk??
Pats can't even slow down the run which bodes well for us.
I will just keep hoping for career ending injuries to either Brady or Gronk!!
They can't say that off one game, they can say that with playoff success

A neighbor of mine is from Pittsburg, long time Steeler fan. Not an in-your-face guy at all.
Before the game he told me "no way we win tonight, the team has no D and we will stink this year. Also, Ben's targets are either gone or not what they were."
Looks like he was right.
He also said that the fans are done with Tomlin, think he's a bad coach and want him out of there. Very surprised to hear that...

Well he has been practicing fully because he knew he wouldn't be suspended.
HYATT™ tuned in just to see if the NFL was going to be up to it's usual game-fixing standards.
HYATT™ has to say, they outdid themselves in making the pre-determined winner have it easy tonight.
HYATT™ would call your attention to 2 pass plays run by DH-B.
The first was right at the end of the 1st half on a 3rd & 5 travel route about 10 yards deep, from strong side to weak side parallel to the LoS- typically DH-B was lining up on the weak side tonight, but not on that play.
From the second DH-B made his cut inside, past the 1st down marker, the CB covering him had a firm grip on DH-B's right inside elbow (the downfield/outside elbow, which would be the ball-stopping hand for any pass on that route) - for close to 15 yards, until the ball arrived, at which time the defender pulled DH-B's arm and torso away from the ball.
No flag.
How could such a BLATANT hold get no flag?
Play #2
DH-B is all the way deep to the weak-side 10 yard sideline, with 7:09 to go in the 4th quarter.
DH-B has reversed himself and is attempting to come back to the QB and the pass.
Instead of being able to move back to the ball - as is EVERY receivers right - the CB puts both arms into DH-B's chest & pushes him backwards all the way to the 3 yard line, as another defender, Harmon, comes underneath where DH-B was attempting to get back to, and intercepts the ball at the 7.
How can a defender, 35 yards downfield from the LoS at the NE 46, push the chest of a receiver and drive him AWAY from the ball, long BEFORE the ball has arrived?
Does the pass interference rule mean NOTHING in Foxboro?
In any other stadium in the league, against any other defense, that STUPENDOUSLY VISIBLE AND BLATANT PASS INTERFERENCE draws a BLIZZARD of yellow snow & an automatic 1st down at the 10 yard line.
The rain was the only thing seen anywhere.
The only yellow in the vicinity was on DH-B's uniform.
PIT NEVER stood a chance of winning this game tonight. It's outcome was decided long ago.
Just so it doesn't sound like sour grapes, HYATT™ watched the replay of the infamous Malcom Butler INT that ended SEA in the Super Bowl last season.
Butler's helmet slammed into Ricardo Lockett's helmet BEFORE the pass arrived & either player touched it.
How does a head butt with a helmet to a receiver NOT draw a pass interference as well as unsportsmanlike conduct flags?
Lockett's head bounced off that contact like he was hit by a punch from a heavyweight fighter - which basically is what happened.
This game is rigged worse than the WWE, and it does not matter to anyone who runs the NFL - who have judges and politicians in their pockets - if anyone notices, anymore.
Enjoy the bread & circuses but do NOT make the mistake of thinking any REAL athletic contests are occurring on the field this season.
Eek - no one trusts the Pats anymore and they are discredited. I hear that Belichik complained of having the same issues, sure....
League should control every facet of the game. Only advantage to being at home is your fans and your bed.

There's so many teams that complain that radio communications get blocked in that stadium, there has to be something to it? If the Steelers were so inclined, they should file a formal complaint and have that investigated. Not saying the Patsies did anything. Maybe they didn't? Although it certainly wouldn't surprise me if they had.
Look, all I am saying is where there's smoke, there is most normally fire. HOW MANY times can teams complain about unfair advantages via some sort illegal activity for the Patsies? There truly should be a comprehensive investigation into what's going on with the team on a daily basis. A top to bottom meticulous and comprehensive investigation into their various strategies. Not X's and O's but everything their team does in reference to opponents when they arrive at Fagsboro.

I think the league does control the headsets.

Gillette Stadium is in Fixboro, not fagsboro - a.k.a. Boston, which is 22 miles north of Fixboro.
If I were a team coming to play at Pats, I would inform that Pats and the league that we will be installing our own communications in light of the chronic "technical problems" at Foxboro. We expect cooperation from the Patriots in doing so. We will control the system. We will install the system. Our only requirement is electrical power and permission to install our cables.
I agree. The league should control the balls, the communications equipment, as much as they can. Allowing the teams control over this kind of stuff invites problems and questions. There never would have been any deflategate if the league controlled the footballs. They gave control to the teams and the QBs and this is what happens.
An innocent equipment malfunction looks bad in this environment (not saying last night was or was not innocent). It makes no sense in a billion dollar industry.
I wonder if it was the Patriots radio announcers who called that stupid reverse screen pass play.
