Belichick was talking about this stuff on some show. He said that after a loss the team got on the plane and some of the front office guys were on their pads doing some of this stuff. After he watched the tape of the game he came to the conclusion that the reason they lost the game was they didn't tackle well enough... lol.

Analytics these days includes way more than just the underwear olympics. These guys are looking at playcall success rate vs certain defenses, probability of converting downs with certain personnel on the field and MUCH more than I can pretend to know off the top of my head.
While I agree, analytics are not the end all-be all decider and heart/passion can play a big part in a teams success, I'm not against using it in today's modern era. To not even HAVE an analytics department in 2020 is ridiculous and a bit ignorant if you ask me.
I say add it to the toolbox and if it can swing even one game in our favor it's a plus.
