I mean, he could just made the play. Guy's a no talent hack.

This guy actually just said that.^

[jjgold]

He could of changed play

[Boner_18]

Oh... you don't understand a phone post typo... I get it, that's so insightful and smart. What other tricks can you do?

[Vinnie Paz]

Well this is such an idiotic post I'm not even gonna bother responding with any thoughtful reply. It's obvious you don't have a clue what you're watching so just forget it, and carry on.

[winz]

thats not on russel wilson

[pavyracer]

If the play is not 100% TD you don't throw. He could have kept the ball and probably walk in the end zone.

[GIVEMETHEMONEY]

He could have rushed or thrown the ball out of bounds to save the clock.

Yes it is 100% on Wilson he has every right to change the play at scrimmage.

Who's been to 2 Super Bowls in his first 3 years, winning 1. And you had to wait 'til the last 20 seconds of the last game to make your "point". He's not getting as much heat as the coaching staff because the coaching staff fukn' deserves it. Wasn't a bad throw, Butler made a hell of a play.

[cburland10]

Wilson played a GREAT game and had one crucial mistake. They would not have even been there if he didn't make some of those beautiful passes.

Kid who intercepted it made a fantastic play on the ball.

[THam12]

He doesnt take the criticism cause he gives it to himself. He was the first guy to point at himself and say it was his fault.
he is a very respectable guy. Seems like the mold for professional athletes.

[BeanTownClown88]

As predicted, the Pats D looked better than Seattle's D as Seattle's offense was much easier to contain

[4TH AND STUPID]

words can not describe how stupid the opening post is. definitely not worth a legitimate response.


bye bye broke ass

[Chi_archie]

I'm with Boner on this one

[italianbandit]

After reading about the coach's thought process and considering the full situation, I have no problem with the call to throw on second down. Now the discussion of blame lies on how bad the throw was vs. how good of a play the defense made. Plus the unique move of Belichick not calling a timeout. Good game.

[lakerboy]

Let's see. Wilson made the play he was told. The defender bumped the receiver out of the way and intercepted it. The throw was good.

Didnt mean to give you a point lol.


The throw was not exactly good. He threw it high... a slant route, throw your guy low So he can use his body to protect... that high, the receiver is at a huge disadvantage as he only has his hands..
receiver also needed to get his hips turned to the QB.

QB and WR both did not execute.

[BeanTownClown88]

It was a play that Brady runs flawlessly

[Double Bogey]

Wilson doesn't get the blame because the play call was the problem. In that situation he's not going to audible unless they were stacked against the pass, that was never going to happen.

ANY other play would have been better. Fade, tackle eligible, qb naked, draw, dive, sweep, qb draw, etc...

IF you are "ballsy" enough to want to try a slant, wouldn't you throw to your #1 or at least your #2 guy? The play was doomed to fail. DBs practice jumping slants all the time.

[Vinnie Paz]

Tham you can't throw a slant low. The throw wasn't high it was out too far/wide and not tight enough inside but were literally talking centimetres here. It was more than good enough to catch. It was a better defensive play than poor offensive play. Lockette has to play it better too though yes

[44 Mag]

Pete Carroll took the blame for the call. After the fact everyone says it should not have happened. I think Carroll & Wilson acted like pro's in defeat. Brady's picks weren't exactly picturesque. LOL. I am a Pat's backer, Butler jumped the pass and made a hell of a play. Let's not forget the "miracle catch" that even got them to that point. Pat's just made one more play than Seattle.

All due respect, the throw was fine. DB beat the receiver to the spot, he would have intercepted a hand-off. All blame to the OC and credit to the defender.

[Chi_archie]

So by many here... The line if thinking should also be:

All credit goes to belichek and McDaniel for the play calling, and the win

brady was just a pawn on the NFL chess board and the guys making the play calls should really get the lions share of the credit

Not at all. But it's not like Wilson lobbed the ball into no-man's land, you know, like Brady's first pick. Just a better play by Butler. Nothing justifies the play call, over coaching at it's finest.

[THam12]

You throw it much lower than where he threw it.... im trying to remember in my head (at work so cant rewatch it).. but the throw was at lockette's helmet and he had to jump. That is NOT what you want at all on a slant. If you miss the throw it needs to be low... Thats why a majority of TD catches on plays like that are with guys falling into the endzone making the Catch. High throw leaves wayyyy too many possibilities for.... INTs.

Yes it comes down to players making plays, but the coaches job is to put players in the best situation to succeed. The sea coaching staff failed miserably on that.

[ZetaPsi808]

wilson threw a bad ball, he has to lead the receiver there and give his wr a chance to beat the db to the ball. even so, the wr was NOT open

it was freaking 2nd and goal. THROW IT AWAY and live to fight another down

wrong decision by wilson to throw it. so yes wilson CLEARLY deserves blame for poor execution and decision making there

[recon1]

R. Wilson is the real deal. Some folks take anger out on a decent man and great player because a bet lost.

This may be the definition of a bona-fide loser.

everyone knows wilson is a good player, leader, high character etc.

but it is very CLEAR he made a poor throw and decision that resulted in a pick. and that pick turned out to be the main reason they lost the game.

so yes wilson deserves blame here

[lakerboy]

seems to me people are trying to get carroll off the hook. as a man he took the blame for the team he leads.

[ZetaPsi808]

are you retarded or just trolling

[R.P. McMurphy]

Wilson is fine kid is a stud! This is more on coaching far as final play concerned and if I'm a Hags fan I'm even calling out my defense some. These guys thrive on hype some of it unjust and overboard. But aside from a gift pick from Brady in red zone where were the stops? Let them march downfield 3/4 of the gm and 4 tds/ 0 fg attempts!

we agree with you. wilson is a great player and teammate. im just saying wilson made a critical mistake on that ONE play that was the biggest reason they lost the superbowl. it was a horrible decision to throw it there and he made a poor throw.
