No one has less respect for Belicheck than me but this is an absurd thought. He might be playing mind games and trying to stare him down but anything further is specualting for the sake speculating.

 

 

It would be absurd if there was another reason to look at him. McVay wouldn't have even noticed being stared down from that distance.

 

One thing you can be sure of is that Belichick in that situation isn't wasting time with something irrelevant. He's doing this for a reason and I can't think of another good reason to find McVay on the sidelines.

 

Tells don't have to be tiny little things like the trembling of an eyelid at the poker table. Maybe he makes eye contact with one coach if it's a run call and another if it's a pass, for example. Some things might be very easy to see from  far away.

Has BB earned himself the benefit of the doubt when it comes to never pushing any boundaries or not being willing to break the rules, one has to ask? If the answer is “no,” then there must be some kind of an unconventional nefarious angle, otherwise why would he be so concerned about McVay’s whereabouts at that moment? If the answer is “yes,” then he must’ve just been trying to be neighborly and flash McVay one of his customary in game smiles.

 

Also seemed like “Josh” was helping with spotting duties, but hey, I’m sure nothing to see here.

Belichick has a entire dept dedicated to intelligence gathering led by Ernie Adams & now being assisted by Sean Harrington an MIT programmer who turned down jobs at Google & Amazon.

Meanwhile it seems the Bills have guys crunching numbers on abacuses.

 

If you say Belichick, whose father was a 30 year scout for the Naval Academy and wrote a infamous book on it, doesn’t treat this as war you’re missing the point. Belichick’s entire operation is based on studying the opponent & out prepping them. 

 

The only way you beat a superior coached team is knowing they are already know your every hand. You have to play different & must hit them unconventionally.

 

Installing gadget plays is nice, but so to is declaring war on his best players & hitting them late after the pass has left their hand. Brady never gets hit, so why not crush him 3 seconds after it’s out? Why not grab Brady and body slam his head into the field turf? Why not accidentally ‘trip’ and take a shot at his unguarded right knee? Why not have two guys hold up Edelman & have another guy take out his surgically repaired knee? 

 

To beat Belichick you need to have a long game approach & also an asymmetrical approach. Hindering his plans by taking out his best soliders is a good plan. 

 

Everything must be different because if you give this guy two weeks to prepare and you run the same stuff you are dead.

Scary, intense, and mostly illegal. But, I'm in...

He once knew a fake punt was coming by watching the coaches on the sidelines. Chris Simms talked about it on his podcast. He's trying to get a similar read on McVay here.

That's too obvious.  We want our conspiracy damn it.

Maybe we can draft some guys on defense who like to hurt people like “Patriot Killer” Bernard Pollard or TJ Ward?

 

Safeties who played the game the old school Ronnie Lott way. I like Poyer and Hyde, but they don’t have the body type or playing style of hard hitting safeties that scare the hell of opposing teams receivers.
