Correct me if I'm wrong but they were down a few scores. QB was playing terrible.
I consider that desperation, in my opinion.
Being one yard away from scoring. With a time out, a great power running back, knowing you will have at least two shots to get that one yard isn't as desperate.
Ok, i will correct you if you insist.. the Seahawks were never down a few scores. They were down 7-0 in the first and 14-7 late in the 2nd.. then they were down by 4 late in the game.... I felt Wilson played ok, not terrible but not great either.. They called a play taht didn't work.. it happens about 50 times in every football game..
Well, he did set Super Bowl records passing, against the Legion of Boom..
He led the Pats to 2 fourth quarter TDs.. I felt Brady was MVP... his 2 picks almost doomed the Pats but were they honestly worse than Wilsons final INT?
Edelman made some great catches and tacked on a bunch of yards after the catches with some slick moves.

I cannot defend that playcall at all. If Lynch gets it, and the Pats stop him, so be it. Even if you do go pass, a PA rollout would have been at least defensible. Wilson don't throw the pick 9 out of ten times but that situation had beast mode written all over it.
Could be.. i do think the Seahawks started celebrating a bit early when they took the 10 point lead.. I felt they had the Pats right where they wanted, had the ball with a 10 point lead late in the 3rd early in the 4th but failed to score after that.. You would have thought they would have learned something after the Packers game but apparently not..
because they have sorry ass receivers....Baldwin and Kearse are garbage.....letting Golden Tate and Harvin go hurt the offense big time.
but they didn't go for the kill....they had the patriots on the ropes and went conservative....that Keaerse dropped on 3rd down to put them in scoring position hurt.
That play was out of desperation. The trophy was literally 1 yard away for the hawks. They had it won.
I agree. The two plays are not comparable.
Seahawks could have run it at least two more times. Lynch picked up four yards on 1st and goal from the five. Give him two more chances to pick up one more yard. Carol let his players down big time.
Desperation? It wasn't 4th down.. he was not desperate. Carroll figured the Pats would load the box and try to stuff Lynch.. so he figured a quick slant would be perfect.. had it worked, Carroll and hte Hawks would be the talk of the town, but since the Patriot defender jumped the Route, Carroll is no longer a good coach? seriously???
You've got the most dominant runner in football and it's the 4th quarter on a long drive. How do you not at least hand the ball off. If nothing else, you let Wilson roll to one side or the other and then put it on him to either run it in or throw it away. But putting it up in traffic on the down immediately following the biggest pass play in Super Bowl history???? Absolutely the dumbest call I've ever seen. Seriously, any drooling drunken sports fan sitting on a bar stool could have called that one. Patriots didn't win, Pete Caroll lost.
It's not just this one call, it's the fact that Carroll lets his team play undisciplined football and shrugs it off as harmless aggression. Seattle has won b/c they're so talented that it's hard to lose. But "what's your deal" managed to lose to Harbaugh big time in college and now he's losing games he oughtta win in the pros.
Winning SOLEY off of possibly the stupidest mistake in Super Bowl history would be embarrassing. You won because of a stupid mistake at the goal line at the actual end of the game. If Seattle ran, they MORE THAN LIKELY would've won and you Pats fans would be on here whining over ridiculous things that really didn't effect the game at all. Everybody who watched the Super Bowl who is not dumb and who is not a Pats fan knows it. AND ON TOP OF IT you were caught red handed cheating for God knows how long.
Well, I am not a pats fan.. far from it.. I am sure the Pats fans would be whining had the lost a third Super Bowl because of an unbelievable catch at the end of the game.. but the facts are, the Pats defense made a play.. so the Seahawks fans are whinning.. go figure! Trust me.. no Patriots fan is embarrassed because of that play call, not one!
Seahawks could have run it at least two more times. Lynch picked up four yards on 1st and goal from the five. Give him two more chances to pick up one more yard. Carol let his players down big time.
Absolutely spot on.
Horrible call.
Horrible!!!
