I thought this thread had been locked. Am I imagining things?

33 points wins most NFL games, this loss lies squarely on the defense and BB hubris in regards to not playing Butler!

i would put the loss squarely on Bill.

McCourty also recently walked back his statement. Clarified that "everyone knew" he wasn't starting, but not that he wouldn't play at all. And yeah, I thought this thread had been locked as well.

Report: Jets Interested In Signing Malcolm Butler In Free Agency

So, hypothetically, let's say BB was right, and Butler is lousy. What a better place for him to land than the Jets. Of course they would want to get him and "stick it to the Pats."

Who cares. He was gone either way which makes the decision to not play him in the super bowl even more baffling.

BB would say he was doing Butler a favor keeping him healthy for FA.

With how baffling that Game was on D seems like Bill's $$$ was on the Eagles.

I think my 10,000th post belongs nowhere else but here. (since the thread topic gets derailed anyways.

)

It’s been a lot of fun posting here. Best NFL forum there is. Here’s to another 10!

If everyone pitches in we can make this the longest thread in forum history. It's gonna be a hell of a story!

I’ve done my part. I’ve got 800 posts and probably 5% of them have gone into this thread.

I can't remember how long the thread went on a few years ago concerning getting the 6th pick overall for the immortal ryan mallet. And then their the adam seward thread, that was pretty long too.

He was our worst CB, statistically. I didn't really realize it either, but the numbers don't lie. Why his him missing practice or being limited with the flu, AND all the peripheral things with him, making it "baffling"?

The only reason why you and others are going on and on about this is because Butler lost it and started sobbing like a baby.

He was the last CB we had, but he wasn't deemed ready to start. Nothing more, nothing less.

I guess BB should have benched him outright for Jon Jones earlier in the year, eh?

so the coaching staff needed to wait till end of season to try something new when the numbers indicated MB was our worst CB? while it was ok for them to roll him out on 98% of the snaps and all playoff snaps? hmmmm....and when "something" didnt go right they didnt want to adjust

baffled

I see Matt Patricia maybe interested.

curiouser and curiouser.

wonder what the dollar amount for him will be ?

LightSkinSmurf · Mar 12, 2018

Rooting for butler. He deserves a coach that believes in him.

maust · Mar 12, 2018

Well Scraps does seem like the kind of guy that needs to be wanted more so than wants to be needed so there's something there with Patricia that might give Detroit the inside track.
