[jjgold]

[warbux]

Just looking for excuses Eagles had there number not even god could have stopped them from winning.

[ByeShea]

Belichick doesn't know what he's doing now. Got it.

[brooks85]

I hope mcdaniels leaves.

[sweep]

What was the reasoning?

What was the reasoning?

It depends on who you ask. Several players, Belichick and Butler have given different takes. You would think after getting roasted all game they would have put him in at some point, just to try and shake their defense up.

Malcolm Butler: “they gave up on me”

Game has passed by bill and Brady. Time to rebuild for the Pats.

[Roadtrip635]

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said it wasn’t a disciplinary decision and defensive coordinator Matt Patricia said it came down to personnel and the packages the Patriots needed to counter the Eagles offense.

Rowe claims that he didn’t know that he would be starting over Butler until kickoff and that Butler had been a part of the Patriots defensive gameplan all week in practice. Devin McCourty said that the team knew that Butler wasn’t going to be involved before tonight.


But when Chung was injured, the Patriots opted to play Johnson Bademosi and Jordan Richards over Butler, so it’s clear Butler was far down the Patriots list of defensive backs.
“They gave up on me. F—. It is what it is,” Malcolm Butler

[FullStrength]

[nyplayer33]

[Rod Tidwell]

Word on the street is the Malcolm was benched for missing the flight to Minnesota....I can imagine that's true but that's what the locals are saying...

[cincinnatikid513]

butler,should,of,played pats missed,alot tackles and coverage sucked he would of,helped

[jjgold]

Bill tried to play tough guy and did not work

YOU PLAY MURDERERS IF YOU HAVE TO WIN

[Roadtrip635]

The guy is a starter all year and decide to change it now seems curious. They were getting absolutely torched, if Butler could have helped prevent even only one of those 3rd or 4th down conversions, it might have ended differently.

What they were doing wasn't working at all, why not put him in at some point.

Butler definitely could have made some game changing plays on defense side. Only time will tell us the story behind this cold case mystery.

[cincinnatikid513]

must of been last minute decision the backup didn't even know he was starting and butler took all the first team reps, sometimes those really smart people over think things, can't believe at halftime bill didn't make any adjustments they did move gilmore to alshon and he got shut down 2nd half but nobody was able cover ertz or agholor 2nd half

[gummo]

Detroit already trying to back out of deal with Patricia

[Roscoe_Word]

Great, what was it, 18 year run. All dynasties come to an end, no? (SF, DAL) With Patricia and McDaniels gone, Brady another year older, things aren't gonna be the same. How'd ya like to be the new offensive coordinator coming in and trying to tell Brady what to do. Fugetaboutit.

[jjgold]

Butler played almost every snap this year

SOMETHING HAPPENED

[funnyb25]

It was very strange to say the least.

[unusialsusp5]

Detroit already trying to back out of deal with Patricia

as well they should. detroit players don't want to play for someone who brings in the patriots work ethic, rigid discipline and get casted to the sidelines if you have a bad game type of coach. they want light practices and then play hard on sunday's. they don't want to waste their spare time watching film and studying. just be a first round knockout once every 3 years and cash those gamechecks is the attitude of most players anyway.

[ikid2groove415]

Does it even matter? They couldn’t bring any pressure!! Even deon sanders wouldn’t be able to cover the eagles last night !!

[packerd_00]

The amount of titles that guys won,and they still rag on him.Perhaps the Defense should have pulled their finger out last night.

[ikid2groove415]

Any average qb will make you pay with no pressure on them!! The elite qb can beat pressure and blitz !!

[ikid2groove415]

Eagles offense was a juggernaut all year !! They didn’t show much the last 2 regular season game and everyone jump off the wagon!! Plus wentz getting hurt

[Renegades]

Belichecks ego is bigger than his desire to win. He gets a hard on by proving its his way or the highway. He purposely tries to prove he can win with anybody (which he cant). Look at his head coaching record PRIOR to Brady. Avg at best

[ikid2groove415]

Doug pederson is the biggest reason eagles won !! 2 gutsy 4th down conversions!! Many coach would just kick the fg and punt !!

[grease lightnin]

I hope mcdaniels leaves.

New HC for Colts, already gone
