Malcolm Butler Mega Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
Probably because I've seen/heard/read about guys not being locked in and having sloppy weeks of practice (several members of the 2007 squad off the top of my head) and then still playing on Sunday. I've seen/heard/read about guys coming off of injury or just acquired (Martellus Bennett) mid-week that played on Sunday.

Now, to follow up that reasoning, I'm having a hard time envisioning what Butler could have done OUTSIDE not being locked in to warrant benching him for more than a quarter, going into a defense that you don't have the horses to run (particularly against an offense like Philly) and sticking with it, and essentially flushing another Super Bowl down the toilet. Even a modestly better defensive effort - which isn't beyond the realm of possibility once you get McCourty and Chung back to doing what they do, Butler on the field, and Bademosi and Richards OFF of it - would have won that game with the way the offense played.

Mayo is just the most recent to weigh in on this. He joins a host of others that say they never got an explanation about it. I would hope Bill gives the guys one before the season. There is some air to clear there.
Hahaha I was just upping the post count. I already know your opinion. Guess my smiley wasn't clear.
 
pete rose is rolling over in his grave.

Dude bet on baseball, and banned for life. no evidence that he every made coaching decisions to lose a game.

BB on the other hand benched his #2 CB in the superbowl.
Isn't he still alive?

Just to be clear it is your position that Belichick threw the game?

Did Pete Rose go Goth? What's he doing in a grave?

Isn't he still alive?

If he were dead ... he would be rolling I guess.

'Cause just to be clear you need to declare your position one way or another. It doesn't matter which position you take, the other side will be vehemently and pointlessly argued.
 
Tupac was better I might have to rethink my stance on this Butler thing now.

Hit 'Em Up is the best diss of all time. But I still prefer Biggie.

Not exactly sure what the point of your post is. The guy implied that B.B. threw the game so I asked if that’s what he thinks.
 

Notorious B.I.G. vs Tupac, now that is just the kind of thinking this thread needed to push it past 6k posts.
Just doing what I do ... to assist.
