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.
