Most Patriots fans have never had much to complain about with Bill Belichick. He’s the greatest football coach we’ve ever seen. He’s delivered New England five Super Bowl titles and still counting, when before he arrived in Foxboro, it would’ve been a miracle to even get one.
But after 18 seasons, he finally did something that none of us really approved of. He benched Malcolm Butler, a former Super Bowl hero and arguably the Pats’ most reliable cornerback, in Super Bowl LII. Yes, we all remember that dreadful night.
I’m not saying playing Butler in the game would mean the Patriots would’ve won, but still.
