Me” on Monday.
Yeah. Pete Carroll will never live down the pass at the goal line. Dan Quin will never live down passing in field goal range. Bill Belichick will never live down benching his starting corner.Man we are gonna be talking about this for years, aren't we?

Agholor killed this team. He had a big game.
I like our chances with butler and Gilmore as our corners.
I would take a 60 to 70 percent butler over any of these scrubs that we played.

And if he didn't try that, in full knowledge of the potential consequences of not doing so, then it must have been a pretty serious reason. Bill would never sit a guy like Butler unless he had what seemed to him like a really good reason to sit him, especially not in a game like the Superbowl.

It’s not conjecture at all, it’s Butler’s own words on the situation. “ They lost faith in me.” “ They gave up on me.”
His words, not mine.
People are a bit too focused on Butler: special teams was abysmal too. Only the offense played up to their level.
This narrative that the Butler decision was arrogance is just strange to me, frankly. That's the national media talking, not reason. Every time Belichick makes an apparent mistake, people always go directly to "arrogance" as if that is an explanation. It rarely is a useful or accurate explanation of anything.
Bill felt Malcolm was in no position to help the defense on any level.How could literally anything else have been worse than what actually happened? The defense could not get ONE STOP. Butler could ONLY have helped.
BB doesnt give a **** what people think but gives a **** what can effect the outcome of the game I think. And seeing what was happening for 3+ hrs on the field and not doing anything about is against BB's policy over the yrs - doing whatever it takes to win on the game.

It’s now fully confirmed that Belichick can do literally anything and still have a loyal legion of devoted fans ready to defend him.

Like Bademosi or Richards knew what the hell they were doing? It became plainfully obvious that the defense was getting destroyed, largely in part to their poor play.
That's his opinion
but i am sure butler would have done very well.
Again this was a riff and not about him doing the job.
I think he's saying that to cover what was going underneath all the stuff.
