Butler did say out loud, to anyone that cared to listen, that this might be his last game, plus the other players snitched and said it might be the weed and women he was fond of before the game.
They lost and the spot light is on Belichek's decision to bench Butler ... he is one tough coach for sure.
This time, I for one think, it cost New England the game, but Belichek's tough stance is bible based "Let your yea be yea and let your nay be nay"
One note I noticed is that Belichek is reported to have let his favorites slide on weed and women before ... so maybe it was something else?
Still a great game if you were a Philly fan, uh? Did you see the stupid crazy things the fans did after the game?
