Richard Sherman?

I like the one where Pete Carroll is going to his knees in "wtf did I just call" expression.

A canny Lynch look-a-like.

Seattle's defense getting let off the hook big time because of that last play.

Allegedly one of the best defenses of all time and you allow a team to make the biggest 4th quarter comeback in Super Bowl history? Not very impressive.

True that! Not to mention being shown up by a...who???...never heard of him....butler??? Yeah, I could use a butler....wait, a butler did what???

coming off a stopped clock I would have called 2 running plays in the huddle. Then use my time out. Then if by some miracle the best back in football hasn't scored already I would have ran it again. Mayhew has proven trying to be the smartest man in the room typical makes you stupid. Do what you do...no way in hell I trust kearse Baldwin to make a game winning play let alone whoever the fuck he threw the ball to.

Little side note...that huge 6'5'' guy was the MVP of the game....then bellicheck put browner on him and shut him completely down the entire rest of the game. I think we know who the smartest man in the room is....

Assuming pass was incomplete instead of intercepted, then run on 3rd down allows you to call timeout with 2 seconds for games final play, ensuring Pats never get the ball back. This is more effective clock management because you completely control it unless Pats call a timeout, which would be good clock management by them.

Which brings up another point. Mastermind bellicheck completely fucked up the end of the game by not calling a timeout. Should have been more than a minute left on that play...butler bailed bellicheck out on one of the biggest boneheaded bellicheck moves of all time.

Correct based on every account I have seen and heard. Funny though, if that happens, the plays likely don't folllw the same progression and who knows, maybe the Seahawks win because BB called that TO??? Aint that a kick in the head? Lol

Shame on BB for having faith in his defense.

You are such a tool.

Give me the stats of probability that a small school undrafted backup makes that play. It was his moment and he seized it, but stop acting like he wasn't the weak spot in that alignment. You cannot argue that fact. Look at his career stats for evidence that if any QB worth a damn saw that alignment they wouldn't have hesitated.

Your stats do not account for the individuals on the field at that time. You are being a sheep in assuming the best odds were to run Lynch.

And you continually ignore the fact that the guys on D have a job to do to. It is impossible to know Lynch would have scored.

Let's put thus another way. What would have been the odds put on Lynch scoring by Vegas. Now, what would have been their odds that Butler makes the play that he did.

Sure, Lynch would have high odds for scoring a TD, but those odds would not overcome the odds of Butler making that play. Smart money woukd bet that Butler doesn't make that INT. Far less chance he gets that INT than Lynch scoring.

It wasn't a bad call, it was just an incredible play by a guy on defense, who is out there doing his job...he just executed perfectly when the opposing guys did not.

A lot of different opinions on this call. Most of the after shows I have watched called this play the "worst call in SB history". Yes and no. I'm trying to play Devil's advocate here. Me personally, I would have ran the ball there 100%. Lynch was averaging 4.3 yds a carry and he was trucking. He almost scored the run before!! He's BEASTMODE!! I don't care if the D knows it's coming. IT'S COMING!! lol.
Now, after saying that, I do understand the passing attempt (kinda). Carroll was saving the TO obviously. Throw the ball, incomplete, live to see another down, 3rd down now and you still have your TO left, run the ball on 3rd down and hope for a score. If not, you burn your last TO. Now it's 4th down...wait wait wait. It was a fucking horrific playcall. Forget about trying to play both sides on this!! Seattle tried to get cute and it fucked them. Play to the Patriots weakness in Butler?? WTF is Ricardo Lockette?? A strength?! LMFAO. They got burned because they were trying to be the smartest guy in the room. You run Lynch there and you don't think twice. BONEHEAD move by Carroll. Abysmal.

what really bit them is that they got rid of tate, harvin, rice and rolled with the likes of Baldwin, kearse and 2 guys no one has ever heard of. Then decided to call a pocket pass at the end of a game when their qb only completed 12 passes all game. You atleast need to get Wilson on the move there don't you???? A pocket pass was even more troubling than it being a pass play....roll the guy out....give him options....that's what he does best. Not sit in the pocket, stare down a WR and throw a quick pass. boneheaded call in so many ways....
