Curious move by Belichik

[StillerDownSouth]

For some reason Bill thought it would be a good idea to bench his best corner Butler and replace him with a safety, I was baffled by this. One would think after Philly shredded his defense the first half he would at least at that point consider inserting Butler in the game, but never did. After the game Butler was pissed and said fuck it, they gave up on me, felt had he played they would have won the game. If Tomlin had done this, he would have been roasted. Wonder what folks up in Boston think about this strategy.

None of the explanations make any sense. This was a disciplinary move no matter what they say.

My conspiracy theory is that Butler was a source used for the ESPN story on the Pats and the Pats found out.

If he has a discipline issue with Belicheat, then Club Tomlin is probably a great fit.

Belichick's going to be skewered on local talk radio today. The local scribes & talking heads hate him as is, as he never gives them a thing. I think he simply was pissed that Butler had the flu, delayed his trip to Minnesota. I'm guessing Butler may not have gone through team physicians, received Belichick's blessing to show up late to Minnesota.

That should be our new nickname for this defense......Club Tomlin - awesome!

A very curious move was that attempt at a reverse on the kickoff return. You'd have thought Tomlin hacked into the headset for that play call.

Yea that was dumb as well. Not to mention the time out on defense they wasted with about 9 minutes left.

It's hilarious to see the immortal and clearly the best HC by a large margin Belichick suffer a huge loss because:

A. he deferred to the other team's offense, only to see them drive right down the field and score
B. he had a discipline problem on his team that he dealt with poorly
C. his defense couldn't stop the other team
D. his use of timeouts cost oodles of time
E. his famous halftime adjustments (other than throwing Gronkowski the ball more) failed to stop the other team more than once
F. his choice of trick plays on offense and STs cost points and the chance to tie the game at the end
G. his team was, dare I say, unprepared and outcoached?

Or maybe he just lost, the state of the NFL is that defense is more or less dead, he probably had less talent across the board, and his players didn't play well.

There DC is the most overhyped coordinator I've ever heard of - look at how they reacted to the jumbo formations that PHI ran. They never once tried to adjust the formation to get leverage on the strong side C gap. Every time the Eagles went big the Patriots just let their OLB (often JH) just sit inside the extra tackle and get chipped by the TE to give up the edge. The patriots response to handling the jumbo set was straight up HS level coaching.

Matt Patricia is another fraud BB coaching tree hanger on....Detroit is soon to find out

Oh, I forgot that the GOAT HC got tooled this way, in the Super Bowl... vs a backup QB.

BB is still the goat HC tho...but Pederseon was masterful this 1 game...and do you really view Nick Foles as "just" a backup..i dont ..not saying hes a superstar but he was and is starter quality in the NFL until Chip Kelly fucked him over...part of my reasoning for picking the eagles to win this game

ya the larger point i was trying to emphasize was that hes not just a backup..hes better than at least 10 starters in the league right now..that throw he made to clement for the TD was surgical

[bradshaw2ben]

I think I voted Foles a top 5 backup in the NFL earlier this year-- I like him a lot but he's been very up and down in his career.

As for Chip Kelly, he took Foles from nowhere and coached him to one of the great QB seasons of all time in 2014.

what a reach of a post B2B....heres a more sobering thought we 're still stuck with Tomlin

Some Patriot players, Hightower and others are supporting Butler over Belichick. Making their comments known

It's done!!! Their end is going to come to a crashing end.

Here is the source of the discontent

Former Patriots corner Brandon Browner defended Malcolm Butler and blasted Bill Belichick in a series of IG posts tonight. Said Bill "lost the game for us."

1:44 AM - Feb 5, 2018

bbrowner39WTF going on here is this not the man who won SN49 for U? I hate shit like this. This is why I rock with players and not the team.

HIghtower liking all over his posts.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BezLAJCj3Vr ... bbrowner39

bbrowner39Lost the game for us tonight, stupid decision and makes no sense. You make the decision to give us the best chance to win. But u don’t play your best cornerback. Fuck the Politics..

https://www.instagram.com/p/BezOewrDdJW ... bbrowner39

bbrowner39 - your spirit was all over that game tonight. Definitely seen it, they had safeties covering WR to prove a point. God bless u my friend, keep fighting, I saw you tear up pre game, first sign. You done a lot for that team and that community it’s ok to move on.. @mac_bz

https://www.instagram.com/p/BezUdD9jAlh ... bbrowner39

bbrowner39A locker room was divided pre game, most yds ever given in up in a SB game, and your best defender over the past 3 seasons. Doesn’t get a snap. You where hurt/burnt where he was needed tonight.. #foolishpride

https://www.instagram.com/p/BezeXFQDqZR ... bbrowner39
bbrowner39Players play and Coaches are supposed to Coach, Bill was out coached for not letting his players play. #meandmybigbro he was drafted to the Mariners, yrs ago.It’s in my DNA

BB coached an absolutely terrible game - the timeout before the 2 minute warning was mind blowing bad

If tomlin had coached this game I can't imagine how many times you would have posted by now
