Wow have to feel for the dude
Didn’t even get a chance
Zero defensive snaps

ETA: Butler played 97% of their snaps before tonight
Had the most defensive snaps on the team this season

ETA Part 2: Rowe says he was told just before kickoff that he was starting in Butler's place. Had no idea before he was told.

Why was he crying during the anthem? Something else was awry tonight with Butler.’

Really strange what has happened with him. I wonder what the whole story is.

It will be interesting to see what comes out about all of that. Literally could have replaced Jordan Richards with Butler and had better results.

Very odd. He was clearly no worse of an option than what they had out there. Foles has been aying well of late, but he's still Nick Foles and he shredded them for nearly 400 yards.

Something must have happened, and the way Butler is already talking, we may actually find out what it was.

Coach Bill Belichick said the decision to keep Butler off the field was strictly a game-plan decision.

"We put the best -- the players out there and the game plan out there that we thought would be the best tonight like we always do."

Asked if Butler was held out because of disciplinary reasons, Belichick responded, "no."


It’s time someone calls Belichick on his shite. His schtick is old

That was very odd that he didn't get any defensive snaps, because at least if he had not played at all, you could attribute it to an injury in practice. It wasn't like he could have been much worse than what was out there.

Sounds like Butler is the only one on the Patriots that will go to bed in a good mood tonight.

Very strange he wasn’t back in on defense when Foles kept torching them.

Really dumb - Belichick makes stupid “I’m a genius” decisions like that sometimes. Butler definitely good enough to play nickel back if not #2 CB

FYI, PFF Scores: Butler 79.2 (51st ranked), the two guys that played over him:

Johnson Bademosi 50.4, unranked due to inadequate snaps
Eric Rowe 42.9, 108th ranked corner

Does anyone have a guess as to what could have been the problem? I’m puzzled.
