What do you mean? Sure seemed like the other way around with his horrible explanation of “not enough packages” nonsense.
Easily one of the worst NFL coaching decisions ever. People still roast Carroll for not running on the one and to me that playcall was way more defensible than not playing Butler.
It wasn't a personality conflict.I wonder if the did had played him. He would maybe had won them the game? Or I hear it was due over to a personality conflict with BB?
Playing Rowe as #2, Bademosi as #3 and switching to a heavy amount of 3 safety coverage (Richards) wasn’t risky to the team at all though. I guess playing horrible defensive backs is better than playing a competent defensive back because he might be horrible?
If this is the truth then, once again, Bill Belichick made one of the worst decisions in Super Bowl history. Whitewash it all you want. If it were another coach, you’d still be laughing four years later.
Oh yeah, I'm sure it would have been worse than 41 points, 538 yards, 10-16 3rd down conversion, 2-2 4th down conversion.The reality is the score would have most likely been worse if he played. Naturally, we'll never know because it never happened.
The outcome is not certain.
That's different than certainty in life.
For instance, it's certain you will opine......and it's certain your opinion will be dead on ******ed and celebrated by every other moron on this site.
I think if Butler had had a limb amputated he could still have played better than Jordan Richards.I would take a sick Butler any day of the week over what they had out there. They get one of those third down stops with him out there, especially the one where Bademosi whiffed on Agholor on 3rd down.
Jordan Richards - 16 snaps
Johnson Bademosi - 11 snaps
Malcolm Butler - 0 snaps

I buy it. Combine the stress of the contract situation with a bad flu and Bill's cutthroat personality and I can completely understand deciding that Butler wasn't their best chance to win the game that day.
2 different moronic moments, first was benching Butler, second was zero halftime adjustments. Ok on the first mistake, second mistake is inexcusable when you know it's not working at halftime.
Then why dress him? Wasted roster spot if thats the case. Couldn’t pluck another garbage db like bademosi / richards off the street to ‘practice well ‘ and have ready like poteat in 04 for depth? Either way you look at it the staff screwed the pooch, Someone gets sick for a week out of 2 and thats the result?
I look forward to a lot of new and exciting opinions on this topic with this new information.

Had to dress him
in case of injury.
