But they are .500 in Super Bowls; 5-5.

Not me. I don’t care how good he is, there is no place for the consummate AHole he is on my team.

I hope they did this fake walk through in a style from the Ministry of Silly Walks:

That was impressive. Easy to see why Belichick is pissed about losing him.

Completion percentage equals passes caught. Accuracy equals ball placement. Glad TT has a decent stat in the former, but he could be a helluva better in the latter.

All of this transpired after McDaniels committed to Indy, hired coaches, and then reneged? Seems sudden. After all, it was pretty much known since the regular season ended that McDaniels was going to be hired by the Colts.

If I had to guess, I’d say the one that helps the lock home field advantage and then the one that helps them keep it.

Didn’t read the article. But thanks for answering my question.

Why is it interesting that “even Kraft did not know?” I doubt any owner, with the exception of Jones, would be involved on such a granular level. Especially in the case of last minute scratches. My guess is something happened between warmups and introductions and Bellyache brought the hammer down.

Talking about what’s happening with other NFL teams in an NFL FOOTBALL FORUM is not obsessive in the least. What is obsessive is the compulsion to have to defend EVERY criticism of your favorite team. Your insecurity about one of the most successful teams in history is childish.

His only hope for bar work is being a bouncer as tending bar requires AT LEAST a modicum of intelligence to work with.

Pretty sure he’s going to DisneyWorld.

Butler is the one who screwed over his team. Unless, of course, you think he did nothing wrong at all and that benching him minutes before kickoff was a simple coach’s decision. That’s not impossible, but it’s hard for me to believe.

Assuming everything Butler says is true and that he didn’t miss a team plane, wasn’t late for a team meeting, or miss curfew then it boils down to a simple coach’s decision. Sorry, but I can’t beleive that even Belichick is that intractable and insecure about his coaching decisions.

Butler might have had three pick sixes and been named MVP. There is just no end to what we can project onto Butler’s hypothetical impact. He also may have torn his ACL or suffered a concussion. Or maybe even missed a key assignment or two as well. Too bad Butler didn’t give himself the chance to see what his impact might have been.

Doesn’t matter that he isn’t a gang banging murderer. Doesn’t matter that we don’t agree with the degree of the offense, either. What matters is that Butler put his status in jeopardy, regardless. Butler. No one else. Period. You think it it was easy for Belichick to sit one of his best players? I doubt it. Then again, principled decisions are often the most difficult especially when they’re not the popular decision. Too bad Butler put himself and Belichick in that position.

Bravo to Belichick for putting principle above convenience. People can get all over him for keeping Butler on the sidelines but make no mistake; it was Butler and Butler alone that created the situation. He’s the one that needs to own up to that and apologize to his teammates, coaches, and fans.

Yes, let’s think of more ways to abandon our human dignity for the sake of men in tight pants playing a kid’s game.

This. Haven’t seen a replay looking for it, but I’d bet money that Jeffrey cleared it with the line judge before the snap.

Brady’s legacy was well established prior to last night’s game. Nothing about this loss impacts it one way or the other.

One day, Tiger Woods’ grandson shall play tight end for the Buffalo Bills. This is known.

Don Beebe, Mike Lodish, Gale Gilbert all won multiple rings.. Not important enough, perhaps, but they were on those SB squads. Edit: Man, I was off. Gilbert never won one, he lost five in a row. And Beebe only got one with the Packers as he lost to Lodish’s Broncos the following year. Lodish did get two.

I have mixed emotions about ambivalence.
