No doubt Butler gets props for making a nice play on the ball.....but everybody that watched it knows, he should NEVER have even been given the chance lol. You have Beast Mode at the 1 yard line with clock to kill and another timeout in case anything goes bad. 2 or 3 shots to pound it in the end zone with a tired Patriots team getting blown off the ball.....hell even a Wilson keeper would have been a better play call than a pass in the middle with every defender bunched up.
All game long Lynch was carrying Patriot defenders for extra yards, the odds of him NOT getting into the end zone from the 1 was slim to nil at best. They didn't even take advantage of Belichick's miscue on the non TO. The clock runs down, they pound it in for the lead and leave Brady 15-20 seconds to try to get in FG range against the LOB with only 1 TO left.......would have never happened.
