Of course he doesn't suck, he's better than all the average players going around that secondary yesterday, bar McCourty. If indeed he was bad enough to bench, it would have happened months ago, not days hours before the SB. Fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingOfNewYork Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 All their Corners were trash yesterday and they had literally NO PASS RUSH. Butler wouldn't have changed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavensDefense3 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 This guy was touted as a top 10 CB at one point. Seems like Belichick let his ego get in the way or something here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodjahs12 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 The locker room being divided sheds a lot of light on why the defense completely folded in a way I’ve never seen before last night. I think Bill is gone now more strongly than I had previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was certainly a suspect move. Very strange the way they held it from Butler/Rowe until hours before the game. Maybe they were planning on this all week but didn't want it to be leaked out that Rowe would start, but not sure how that move benefited the team. BB needs to give a better answer than we put out the best players on the field that give us the best chance to win....Um, buddy, then why was Butler on the field so much the rest of the season? His play wouldn't all of a sudden slip to the point he is unplayable just before the Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was clearly done out of spite and it divided the locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay then...... I don’t think he’ll be outright fired but I can very much see this situation being the tipping point that gets him to walk away. There was already a lot of talk before this game or any of this transpired that he could be done after it and now he’d be spending an entire offseason salvaging relationships and trying to make this go away. Nothing would surprise me anymore whether it be Bill Brady or even Gronk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 There was talks of Belichick walking away before the game. If he does so, then it will be because of other reasons not the Butler benching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butler had the flu. His conditioning and stamina was probably poor given the illness. Somehow that’s waaaay crazier than Belichick wanting to ruin his already worsened FA value by benching a good player in the biggest game of the year. only problem is, why wouldn't anybody just say that if it were the case? That's a reasonable explanation that people would take. Instead Butler is saying they gave up on him and 'football reasons' is the other explanation.

If there are locker room issues which would cause BB to walk away or get moved/fired, it's far bigger than his handing of a single player. Do people really not understand who this man is? You cut your entire roster and start over before you kill this golden goose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
