How could you call a coach preparing his team for a SB seeing that his players not focused and struggling with picking up the game plan, when the player admits it, vague?
I would think it seems pretty clear. If there is "No justifying this one" and "little interest in any kind of apology or explanation because none would justify the decision." then why does it matter to you that there has been none?
He didn’t correct his idiotic decision.
It doesn’t.
Then stop trolling those of us that it does matter too.
I’m not trolling anyone, you might be mixing me up with someone else.
Of course he does not need to apologize. Though I don't think it reflects well on Bill when he refuses to shed any light on his poor decisions.
I don't think anyones cool with it. You put all the blame on BB. I put all the blame on Butler. But get the hell out of here with your blow a guys brains out analogy even if I take your stance that it was completely BBs fault hasn't he earned way more good will than a murderer. This might be your worst post of all time.
It’s called hyperbole. It’s worthwhile to use from time to time. The point is that there’s not a whole lot Bill can do to turn the opinion of the run of the mill homer and standard Belichick fan. You just proved that. And Butler didn’t bench himself. That call was made by Bill and Bill stuck with it even after it was painfully obvious that he needed Butler’s services back there. But hey, at least the team was disciplined. They didn’t win the Super Bowl or anything, but at least they can say they were the most disciplined team on the field that night. Maybe there’s a banner for that? We can ask the Colts. They’re good at taking pride at being the runner up just like a few posters around this place are.
That might be the most apt and hilarious misspelling of my username yet.
Fair enough. It’s quite the controversial subject. As I said, I think not putting Butler in at the half was a mistake, but I don’t see a need for anyone to “apologize,” which is the comment that I was responding to.
How does that make it vague?
ive been drinking to try and deal with the world
No, but you deciding not to block me anymore makes me feel like crying.
1. Who is the Jets fan that responded in this thread?
It's amazing this thread continues to go on about an ex-player. I wonder how long this will continue? The fact that there's people on here that actually support BB's decision is beyond ridiculous. As the days go by, I believe more and more that this was the tip of the iceberg for Brady after he found out after the game Butler didn't play. This reminds me of LeBron's towel on the face reaction to Tyron Lue when asking how many timeouts they had before the end of regulation in game 1 of the Finals. LeBron was defeated. Despite Bulter's "drop off" in play, there was nobody on the team that was better than him. NOBODY! That's why it was such a stupid a** move by BB. To think he could't have...I don't know make a play like he did to win the game for them in 2014? In my opinion, benching Butler in the biggest game of the year, after playing 17 games is the most disrespectful thing I've ever seen a coach do. Especially since Butler bailed them out against the Seahawks a few years back. That move flat out sabotaged the entire team, not just Brady. If it weren't for Butler's miracle play, I think they get routed against Atlanta and we'd still be wondering if Brady will ever win a 4th Super Bowl.
Last time I checked, BB decides who plays. Your statement proves Kontra's point.
