I personally think Belichick has alienated a lot of the Pats players esp TB,Gronk, Edelman etc. Wouldn't give a reason why he didn't play Butler at all in the SB, when he said he would play.Had Gronk on the table to Detroit, Losing a couple of SB heroes like Butler and White with no loyalty from that man. This is prob Brady's and Gronk's last season and Bill has to screw or build a new team and go back to being 8-8 9-5 teams
I think you are on to something.
That whole Butler thing has to stick in the craw of those 3 and others for sure. You don't shit on a potential Super Bowl win to prove some sort of point. Especially when you don't give the explanation. Maybe we's all go "Hey!! Bill was right!!"
Likely not though.
