Why? Hasn’t it always been obvious that it was Belichicks call? Or are you referring to the people who said the reason was for something other than performance?If Patricia ends up signing him, that would shed some curious light on his Super Bowl benching
I agree that’s the likely answer, but who really knows based on public info?Why? Hasn’t it always been obvious that it was Belichicks call? Or are you referring to the people who said the reason was for something other than performance?
I’m not, he cost us a super bowl.Rooting for butler. He deserves a coach that believes in him.
There was a rumor/report from a source that Bill had wanted to bench Butler the previous week against the Jaguars but the coaches, including Patricia had talked him out of it. And that Bill had benched Butler very shortly before the SB so as to avoid that happening again.I agree that’s the likely answer, but who really knows based on public info?
Even if Belichick was the sole decision-maker in his benching for breaking a team rule, Butler could still be upset at Patricia for not standing up to Bill or negotiating a less harsh punishment than zero snaps.
It wasnt about breaking a team rule to the best of our knowledge.I agree that’s the likely answer, but who really knows based on public info?

If that is the case, Patricia really had nothing to do with it.

He wasn’t benched for nothing
We don't know that it was his fault. Could be voices in his head told BB to bench him for all we know.He wasn’t benched for nothing

Yup and if he didn’t get himself benched he might have made a play that would have been the difference.But he *was* still benched nonetheless.
