Malcolm Butler missed curfew, had weed on him, and argued with coaches over it

[Carnzo]

Most other teams would have let him slide. But the reason the Patriots have 5 rings in 18 years is because team comes first. Maybe they win if he plays but the team comes before anything and the Patriot player know to stay in line.

You are right but it stings a little today.

Except the team took one in the bojangles this time.

And he's goner next year anyway.

i think he makes a difference. jordan richards and bademosi should only play special teams.

He was their least effective DB all year. He would have made zero difference...................... unless he was gonna play LB or rush the passer.

Not sure I buy this, it has to run deeper.... but it is, what it is. It's Belichick's team...

Yet he basically played ALL year.

Had to have something going for him.

Pats played a great game. I liked it but would have liked it more if they had run the ball more. Pats got desperate.

No adequate replacement.

There’s always that one guy who loses his shit at the Super Bowl. Barrett Robbins, Eugene Robinson, etc.

 

[Rock Strongo]

No adequate replacement.

someone here tried telling me butler is a worse option at CB than bademosi or richards.

i nearly pissed myself.

Clement didn't even try and avoid would be tacklers.


He changed his path and went straight for them. Craziness from a third down back. But genius.

Blount could learn a thing or two from him. My son (an Eagles fan) was yelling at the TV when Blount went on one longer run and tried to get cute with the DB.

I was yelling at him to get two hands on the ball too.

He did, just before he went down.

I'm not saying he would have won the MVP but the game was very close. If Butler could have been there to make a play or two or a surer tackle to stop an Eagles drive that would have been the difference between a Eagles win and a Patriots win. He was capable of doing that.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

No adequate replacement.

Sure as hell didn't have one for him yesterday...

Should have played him.

Good thing they found one during the off week.

 

[PatsFan2003]

Plus Butler being pulled at the last second was probably a big hit to the cohesion of the unit.

Who played like crap.

 

[RobBase]

So he's signing with Dallas in free agency?
