Probably the same.  Word is that Butler had a meltdown about the pot.

If this is true, then I'm surprised Belichick didn't just designate him as inactive because in effect he was with only one ST snap for the entire game.

BB always has a method to his madness. What's worse, being inactive or getting dressed and having to stand in full gear on the sideline all game?

Maybe BB was trying to publicly shame him? 

By wasting a spot on the 53 man roster with a guy you had no intention of playing...no matter how bad your secondary is getting torched?

 

Sounds like a solid plan.

Butler is headed to UFA anyway. Why not activate someone you plan to utilize such that the team has a better chance to win the ultimate game?

I'm sure he wasn't thinking there would only be one punt.

If missing the Sat morn meeting was the final straw, who can you activate in time to make a difference? Maybe he was dressed as a last resort. I can't fight to defend BB, can't stand the guy, but just trying to somehow understand his perspective.

 They had some pretty good players who were inactive for the game.  Although he may have been forced to use Butler at CB if Rowe was injured.

I'm just trying to figure out this madness I'm not saying it was the right thing to do
