I've seen people say the difference is that Ripkowski was already on the field, while Butler was not. And that was the difference in the penalties.
In either circumstance, my simple response is - so what?
The defense is allowed to substitute when the offense substitutes. So much so that the ref will stand over the football to allow the defense the opportunity to do so. This whole 'deception' argument of it being a penalty is pointless because of that alone.
