SJH, I think you're so far out on the limb on this one, that you can't see the tree. I'll buy that you honestly believe that Bill benched Butler because he thought it gave them the best chance to win. I don't know how you can believe it, but I'll at least give you the benefit of the doubt.
But you can't, with a straight face, tell me that after watching 4 quarters of guys like Rowe, Richards and Bademosi get beat over and over, and Chung got hurt, that you think Bill kept Butler on the bench because he thought it was best for the team. You can't believe that. You don't send Butler out there for one series, and see if he makes a difference?
Half the people on this board thought Bademosi would be inactive this week, and instead, he's playing over Butler? WTF?
I'm livid about this. I'm not even upset about the loss. I'm pissed about the fact that a coaching decision may have cost Brady another ring, just like coaching decisions cost us homefield advantage in 2015 and maybe another ring. It's fucking bullshit.
