He is amazing! But I think I'd kick Belichick's butt in checkers

For a bunch of checkers players they came darn close to beating us.

BB was only playing chess for those two plays. The rest of the time he was playing whack-a-mole with his eyes shut.

And if BB had any QB other than Brady the Pats would have lost.

I can see it now....

2018 new rule change
No coach can be within 20 yards of opposing players on the field.

So how do we know that Billy O'Brien did not do the same thing against the Pats?

And why is chess better than checkers! I like checkers!

If you try to play chess during a checkers game you're going to lose big time.

It's amazing how they take 2 opponents talking to each other after a play, recognize what they were saying to each other, and use that against them later in the same game.

I mean, that goes beyond schemes and X's and O's and all 22's....

Pretty easy to recognize what they are saying when new turf conveniently installed for this game is bugged with little microphones! SpyGate 2, Electric Boogaloo!

My favorite part about this is knowing how paranoid opposing defenders are going to be now, knowing that just talking to each other after a play might give something away that gets exploited later.

If anyone hasn't seen the actual clip of Belichick breaking it down, it's pretty much must-watch football porn: Belichick Breakdown: Key Plays from the Victory over the Texans

I guarantee that the Texans took some tendencies from the joint pratices'preseason game and had a few of their successful plays as a result as well'

But that BB is willing to put this out public is maybe a tactic of its own. Now opposing teams will limit their onfield communication with each other, always watching over their shoulder if the pats are listening in'. Ha ha'

I also wonder though if BB is thinking he is approaching the sunset of his career and is therefore more willing to show secrets to the fans so we appreciate the game more. Somewhat sad if he is starting to think about the green pasture'

The thing that kinda worried me for a bit was that Barstool misreported this, and their headline stated that McDaniels overheard Hal and Joseph talking. Was honestly bracing for this to be the next week-long scandal like Mike Tomlin's radio interference, since I could totally see the football-watching public deciding that this was cheating somehow.

Of course, Barstool completely butchered the headline and likely didn't even watch the video, and in reality it was even more innocent than that.

Shhh. Ernie's lip reading skill is a team secret. Or is it the tap into the network's parabolic mike?
