That was the worst play call in the history of the NFL

[Ninjamos]

Actually it was a brilliant defensive play by the 25-year old. When you watch the reply there's absolutely NOWHERE to give the ball and 83 was open.
Fu*k.

[mikemca]

IMO...They were expecting NE to call a timeout ,when they didn't it confused them and forced them to hurry up making a critical decision or call their last TO.

Everyone saying Belichick effed up not calling a TO...He knew exactly what he was doing.


Belichick > Caroll

Pete Carroll should be fired. That last playcall was inexcusable. Either he threw this game on purpose or he's too stupid to be a coach, either way he should be fired.

Posts like this are retarded. Guy just went to 2 Super Bowls b2b but yeah let's get rid of him and move on cause someone else can definitely come in and do better. Remind me again how great Seattle was pre Pete Carroll? But yeah fire him

Yes i say fire him. They won that first Superbowl yes, but now i think its more the defense than Carroll. Maybe the defensive coordinator should be the head coach. Any coach that would throw from the 1 yard line, having the best RB in the NFL on your team, with the Superbowl on the line....that's a coach i don't want to play for. Players on that team have GOT to be questioning the coach this morning. I don't see how these guys get up to play for Pete Carroll anymore. That was an insane decision, i'm starting to think Carroll threw the game only because the decision was so stupid and the Pats corner read the play so well, its like he knew it was coming. The corner got to the spot on the field where the ball was thrown to, before the wide receiver even got there. Looking at the replay, it's very strange how he moved there so fast, without hesitation.

this is the only explanation that makes any sense, he let them run the play because they looked out of sync.

still with that being said, 0 interceptions were thrown all season from the 1 yard line, seems pretty illogical to take that chance, if its incomplete they still have 2 plays from the 1 and brady has no time

[THam12]

Hand it off to lynch or keep it With russ. 2 options. Pass was neither of them.

I initially thought as well what the hell are you doing Belicheck, but in hindsight it turned out that by not calling the timeout it actually forced the Hawks to get a playcall in tenatively with clock ticking down the play almost seemed hurried Wilsons throw was off a hair although they probably tried to get too cute trying to outtrick the Pats by running the ole pick play. It never worked because NE had the bump-n-run coverage other receiver got jammed at the line and Butler broke for the ball. I do think not giving Lynch another try there after he has ran through a couple tackles the previous play was a bizzare decision on the Hawks part but there is no guarantee he would have run it in next play Belicheck for all you know couldve gone with an all-out blitz but the way Hawks lined up they knew it was likely a pass. The line was impeccable it played out like a pickem line no doubt.

[Vinnie Paz]

Carrol said they didn't run because NE came out in goal line and didn't wanna run into a stacked box. Ran a rub route to get the free release, got it, but that dude on the pats crashed down incredibly quick and snatched the ball. He said he saw it coming from all the film study, so hats off to him.

[bettilimbroke999]

On the positive side Pete Carroll DID cash his 50 million dollar Patriots wager....hopefully that will cheer him up

It was a brilliant defensive play but that doesn't mean it wasn't a stupid call. Please, everyone, stop making excuses.

Bullshit. Lynch can still probably get a yard.

Better call is fake handoff, Wilson holds it and runs around the edge -- betcha he walks in. And if it's coevred he can simply throw it through the enedzone. Next play. No risk.

if you want to pass, thats the call that makes the most sense by far, faking it and rolling out with wilson, about a zero percent chance he would throw a pick there

The Hawks actually botched it because other receiver was supposed to get in front of Butler but the other DB had jam on him that play was not executed correctly.

[El Nino]

Pretty sad when a fukkin' Duracell commercial called a better play.

http://youtu.be/IC4ExoSf02g

Ok, Russell...we have one shot here. How about a quick slant with one option to our worst WR?

[RavensFan2k3]

Goodell called that play

[stevenash]

Also. Wilson is not very good at QB.

Whole Seahawk team is overrated.

HIs whole play calling on that drive was horrible. The flare to Lynch was okay but with all this time left he is throwing bombs (when he didn't need to)that could have easily been intercepted and then he got a miracle break. U don't start throwing bombs inside the 50 with 130 left on the clock. When i saw those plays i thought something was up. When they got to the five i told my brother that they were not going in. They pulled a horse shoe out of their ass with terrible play calling all the way down the field.
Then u don't think the play calling could get any worse but it does and they make their final bone head play of the drive. Almost like the league wanted to give Tommy his fourth Superbowl.

[jjgold]

pressure situations people think differently

Its what happened today, Carroll choked

[Kermit]

Don't know if this was posted, but this is pretty crazy.

New England defeats Seattle 28-24 on final drive of the game, according to annual Madden NFL simulation.

Here's how the Madden simulation sees things going down in the final seconds:

"In the waning seconds Tom Brady hooked up with Julian Edelman, who managed to slip out of a tackle and make a break for the end zone. Kam Chancellor sprinted toward Edelman to try and make a Super Bowl-saving tackle, but the speedy Edelman dove into the Promised Land as time expired, securing victory."
Brady wins his fourth Super Bowl title and is named MVP of the game for his 335-yard, four-touchdown performance, according to the simulation.

Since when does a run from the 1 yard line take 7 seconds lol. And I believe there were 28-29 seconds which is a huge difference in that spot. Run 1 fails and takes 3-4 seconds, takes 10 seconds to line up, you line up, run the ball, takes 3-4 seconds, TO and you still have 3-5 seconds for the last run attempt. Sorry bub, these are professionals, they can lineup up pretty quickly when they essentially don't have to move from their previous spot.

You've got to be kidding, 3-4 seconds woulda came off before Lynch would have even been tackled

[lakerboy]

Whole Seahawk team is overrated.

Lol sure. Most teams make 2 superbowls in a row.

[RavensFan2k3]

When in doubt, pass. Smh.

Lol

[El Nino]

Heard a stat this morning that Lynch was 1 for 5 scoring from the 1 yard line this season.

[GunShard]

When in doubt, pass. Smh.

[SharpAngles]

Not even close to the worst play call in history. This happens every season. Greg Roman burned the Niners in last years NFC championship and the year before in the Super Bowl calling these stupid plays inside the 5 yd line rather than using the horse that got you into that position. Seattle OC and Pete got tricky and paid the price, but it's pretty standard IMO. If Wilson completes that pass everyone would say Pete's a genius, not that it was a horrible play call.

[TheMartian]

Lol

What other human can do that to Patrick Willis other than Beast Mode

[Snowball]

watched replays of it.. from different angles.. have to say Wilson isn't getting
enough of the blame.. he threw into heavy coverage.. a smarter qb would have
thrown it out of the end zone - end of story.

Was an absolute joke of a move by Belichick by not calling timeout. Seattle had two time outs and could have called them when they wanted. There was no reason at all for Bellicchick to do that. Those reason are just lame reasons the media made up cuse people think this coach walks on water and will believe anything that makes him look like a genius. If they run Lynch two more times everyone and their mother would be complaining about Billy's move. BOy word for word by the media and u suck it all up and shit it out of ur mouth
