Headset Malfunctions During NE Game?

[Fin-Loco]

Tua referenced in his post game interview that the headsets went out multiple times and they had to just pick a play at the line of scrimmage on some plays. Does anyone have more info on this? Are the Pats saying they had similar problems? I don't know how in 2022 in your own stadium, this occurs.

Weird things happen when you play the pats

Shouldn't happen at home though. We know we're playing the most devious team.

If you watch McDaniel’s presser on Monday he says he couldn’t get some plays off in time, I’m thinking that’s the source of the “headset malfunction” that Tua was taking about.

Likely not a technical malfunction as much as human error is what I’m concluding based on both their pressers.

The process will get better with time and experience from McDaniel as a play caller.

Its technology
The definition of technology in the dictionary is
"It'll work most of the time but it will let you down when you most need it, always have a back up plan"
In football it's not rocket science
Back up plan 1 - signals from the sideline
Back up plan 2 call it in the huddle

Should it work - as Mr Loco says, YES
Would we all love to think its Belicheat and his nefarious way - Yes
Was it probably a game one hiccup - Yes

Yea, McD said he himself was to blame and it will be corrected. I have no doubt that won't occur again at least to the extent of this past Sun

Tua was covering for Mike McD. Like @Brasfin said McD took blame for himself after the game in the locker room, said he wasnt getting plays in on time and apologized to the team. With all the support Tua is getting from the team and Mike McD, no way he was going to throw them under bus.

After about his 4th-5th press conference i said this may be an issue from the get go (dont feel like looking it up). McD seems to try to over think every thing and stumbles over his words. But i also mentioned this is something that should clear itself up with time. But hell its good learning experiences for Tua.

I'm pretty sure the malfunction was X calling the play "Don't say nothing you don't want your momma to hear"

I hope he gets over it sooner rather than later. I called this months ago him having problems getting the plays in. my only issue is...if he's over thinking how to call a game with a lead, how longs it going to take him to be quicker when we are playing from behind or in a big game. Love the guy, but it was a nobrainer this was going to be an issue just listening to his press conferences in the past

hey, of course there are going to be a few bumps, first-year hc woes, can't read too much into it other than realizing he owns the problem and will work on correcting it. They'll be other things but i'm confident he'll grow as the year progresses. I personally can't wait for the full offense to develop because I believe we haven't even scratched the surface.

You don't know that. You're guessing. Fair guess but say it's a guess bro.

As OCD as he seems to be about stuff, he'll fix it quick.

Thought the same.

If you go back and watch some of the plays towards the end of the game, some of the plays Tua was making.... questionable decisions, there were multiple times the clock was near 0 or we used timeouts. Could be what he was referencing.
