OK, lets introduce some facts into this discussion.
1) Braylon Edwards did not beat Butler all day long. He caught 3 passes with Butler in coverage. (4 with the 2pt conv)
One was a 2 yard pass in a zone between TBC and Butler. If we expect a corner in zone to stop a 2 yard pass we might as well start following cricket.
One was the TD
The other was 3rd down conv early in the game in zone coverage.
2) Cothcery caught 2 passes with Butler in coverage. One was a 2 yard pass in zone, like the one above. The other was a 1 yard completion in man coverage.
3) The long completion to Keller on play action on 3rd and short may or may not have been his man. Chung was totally suckered by the fake, and its hard to tell whether Butler or Chung had him. I would tend to think Butler had the responsibility because he chased Keller rather than the RB in the flat but without knowing the coverage called its impossible to say who blew the coverage.
In any event, aside from that play, he allowed 5 catches, and nothing beyond about 10 yards downfield.
Yes, one was a TD, and yes there were 2 p.i.s, one a terrible call and the other a bad play and also a bad call because it was uncatchable.
To say Butler was burned all day or was terrible is ridiculous. A corner allowing 5 catches none more than 10 yards downfield to a team throwing the ball 30 times isn't close to awful.
agree with 110% on this
