Because it seems to be a reoccurring theme when teams go to New England. The Steelers aren't the first team to bring this issue up and they certainly won't be the last. Second, anyone with even a basic understanding of wireless signals knows that pulling this off would be child's play.
And the best part is it doesn't have to be someone standing on the Pats sodeline. It could be literally anyone in the stadium making the likelihood of the Pats getting virtually nonexistent.
I have to say, it does seem rather odd that there's always some controversy surrounding the Pats and there's always an excuse why they have nothing to do it:
"No idea why one of our employees was taping signals and walkthroughs. But if we did do it, everyone does it so NBD. "
"Not sure why the footballs our employees were handling magically lost air pressure after the refs weighed them. Maybe it's the weather?
What's that? The footballs the opposing is using still weighs the same? Weird."
And now:
"Opposing teams having communications issues at Gilette stadium way above the league norm is also, like other well-publicized incidents we won't talk about, purely coincidence. You can be assured the Patriots organization is committed to upholding the integrity of the game. Srsly. "
If people are skeptical of the Pats, let's not pretend like there's no basis for that suspicion.
