Brandon Browner puts Patriots on blast for 'stupid decision' to bench Butler

Warning: Video contains coarse language

Former NFL cornerback Brandon Browner has a bone to pick with the New England Patriots following the benching of Malcolm Butler in Super Bowl LII.

Browner, who spent the 2014 season with the Patriots, lashed out at head coach Bill Belichick in a series of expletive-laden Instagram posts, calling it a "stupid decision" and saying "a locker room was divided pregame." He also suggested Butler move on from New England this offseason.

"Man, Bill wasn't right at all tonight," Browner said in one video. "I ain't know how to feel watching that s--- without my homie, without Malcolm f---ing playing."

Lost the game for us tonight, stupid decision and makes no sense. You make the decision to give us the best chance to win. But u don't play your best cornerback. Fuck the Politics..

That was the most passing yards given up in NFL super bowl history.

A locker room was divided pre game, most yds ever given in up in a SB game, and your best defender over the past 3 seasons. Doesn't get a snap. You where hurt/burnt where he was needed tonight.. #foolishpride

Each teams is only allowed a certain amount of Padded practice all yr. I watched Malcolm carry his pads and helmet out to practice everyday. So days we didn't have to wear pads, lil bruh had to, it was a extra practice after practice everyday. I know first hand what kind of work he put in. He made the team from a workout, he wasn't a draft pick or free agent signed on draft day. He got it out the mud. He said YES sir, when he answered you. Which I wouldn't unless I felt u respected me. #strictlybusiness
