It was going to be perfect. Maybe too perfect. The Patriots were going to lose because of yet another ridiculous catch. What was Carroll thinking?!?! WHAT THE HELL WAS HE THINKING?!?! HE HAS THE DAMN BEAST BACK THERE!! MY CAPS LOCK BUTTON IS STUCK!!! Oh, well...congrats to Steve and all Patriots fans...
doubtful. it was the offense that lost the game at the end. he has that built in excuse. and I would expect nothing less of him.
sherman is arrogant on the field,but he seems like a decent guy off the field.none of us can really know what type of guys the players really are unless we personally know them.whoever made the call to throw that pass is the guy i would be pissed at if i were on the team or a hawks fan.dumbest play call i have ever seen at any level in football. lynch was a sure thing,you do not pass them up.
The more I watch that last play for Seattle the more I think Belicheck owned it the whole time... With the clock running down, you might think the Patriots would call time out. For two reasons. 1. They are in a base defense and the Seahawks just came out with a 3 WR set. Advantage: Seahawks. 2. The clock is winding down and it looks like the Seahawks will get an easy score...right? Save some time for Tommy Boy. However they don't call the timeout. Why? I think Belicheck knew the Seahawks were going to pass it there. I think he was baiting them into that play and his players were ready for it. Butler said that they practiced that defense against that play all week. It paid off. If the Patriots call time out and match personnel, the Seahawks audible to a run against a nickel D and most likely score. Staying in base D and Belicheck is gambling that Carroll will play the percentage and the match ups there and pass. Belicheck owned Carroll there. Out coached him in a major way. I still think it was a bad call to throw there but understand why Carroll would opt for the play. Butler was just ready for it and broke on the ball like he'd been practicing it all week.
I Think BB had a good idea it was coming which is why i would have not thrown it,i'd have ran it two times if need be. also could have been just as good of a chance they would have let the hawks score so they could have given brady a final shot with the ball.
If it was me, I'd run Lynch twice and Wilson once in no particular order. If I didn't get it in from 1-yard out with Lynch or Wilson, I didn't deserve it.
I read about this earlier this morning... and for your viewing pleasure http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=12274988&ex_cid=sportscenterTW
