FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Bill Belichick has called off the fight. A little more than two weeks after he was seen slamming a tablet along the sideline during a 16-0 loss to the Buffalo Bills, he is going back to an old-school approach to analyze what is happening during a game.

"As you probably noticed, I’m done with the tablets," Belichick said in a lengthy answer during his Tuesday conference call. "I’ve given them as much time as I can give them. They’re just too undependable for me. I’m going to stick with pictures as several of our other coaches do as well because there just isn’t enough consistency in the performance of the tablets. I just can’t take it anymore."

The change was especially notable in Sunday's 35-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, as Belichick was seen rapidly flipping through pictures on the sideline.

The Patriots also had issues with their coach-to-player communication devices in the game, which led to more hand signals being used. Highlighting how he's reached an end point with some sideline technology, Belichick's answer on the topic Tuesday spanned more than five minutes.

"For me, it’s a personal decision; I’m done with the tablets. I’ll use the paper pictures from here on because I’ve given it my best shot," Belichick said. "I’ve tried to work through the process, but it just doesn’t work for me, and that’s because there’s no consistency to it."

Belichick also touched on other issues with technology.

"The other communication systems involve the press box to the coaches on the field, and then the coach on the field, the signal caller, or the coach-to-quarterback, coach-to-signal caller system. Those fail on a regular basis. There are very few games that we play, home or away, day, night, cold, hot, preseason, regular season, postseason, it doesn’t make any difference; there are very few games where there aren’t issues in some form or fashion with that equipment," he said.

"And again, there’s a lot of equipment involved, too. There are headsets in the helmets, there’s the belt pack, that communication, there’s a hookup or connection to internet service, or that process and so forth with the coaches and the press box. So, there are a number of pieces of equipment, there is a number of connections that are on different frequencies. Again, not that I know anything about this, but, as it has been explained to me, there are a lot of things involved, and inevitably, something goes wrong somewhere at some point in time. I would say, weekly, we have to deal with something."

Belichick credited Dan Famosi, the team's information technology director, for a "great job of handling those things."

"This is all league equipment, so we don’t have it. I mean, we use it. but it isn’t like we have the equipment during the week, and we can work with it and ‘OK, this is a problem. Let’s fix this.’ That’s not how it works," Belichick explained.

"We get the equipment the day of the game, or I’d say not the day of the game but a few hours before the game, and we test it and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Usually, by game time, it is working, but I would say not always. And then during the game, sometimes something happens and it has to be fixed. First of all, you have to figure out what the problem is. Is it a battery? Is it the helmet? Is it the coaches’ pack? Is it the battery on the coaches’ pack? I mean, you know, again, it could be one of 15 different things.

"So, I would just say there are problems in every game. There were problems last week, but there were problems the week before that, too. Some are worse than others. Sometimes both teams have them, sometimes one team has them, and the other doesn’t have them. There’s an equity rule that’s involved there on certain aspects of the communication system, but not on all aspects, meaning what happens on one side, then the other team has to have the same. If ours are down, then theirs has to be down and vice versa, but it’s only true in certain aspects of the communication system; not everything.

"Overall there is a lot of complexity to the technology. There is complexity to multiple systems, and there are a lot of failures, and so I know on our end, Dan does a great job to fix those as quickly as possible. He has very limited access. I don’t know how much urgency there is on the other part from the league standpoint. However, [as] much urgency there is for them to have everything right, I don’t know, I’m not involved with that.

"But yeah, it was a problem last week. It’s basically a problem every week. The degrees aren’t always the same, but we’re usually dealing with something."

Just go back to 1985. No helmet communication, no electronic equipment on the sidelines except a 1 MC from the coaches booth to offensive and defensive coordinators. 1 MC is the same system used on US Naval vessels that doesn't require any electricity. Go back to hand signals and have three guys in three different colored shirts sending them in at the same time. Only the QB or defensive captain know which guy is the real signal caller.

Ken if they did that, certain teams would suck even more. They had to do this to make the game easier for other coaches. Some of them prob don't know what "old school" means...
