I think the rationalization by pete carol for that playcall is more concerning than the actual playcall to me...the rationale given so far depicts a certain lack of logic. You dont want Brady to get the ball again with time on the clock, so you THROW a pass that, if incomplete will stop the clock again?..really? That makes sense to him?..or you're so afraid of Brady getting the ball back that you run a pick play right into the heart of the defense? Really? Are you serious? It never occurred to him to just milk the clock with the run, or spike the ball, or throw toward the sideline, or roll Wilson out and throw it away or pretty much do anything other than that?...lol..he seriously thought his best and only option in that situation was to throw a pass into enough traffic to put rushhour to shame, and pray for an incompletion? If i were a Seahawks fan, i would be sweating bullets right now about this guy's decision making ability in crunch time.

I am a Chiefs fan, but I am happy that the Patriots won the Super Bowl last night. Tom Brady deserved to win that game especially after those two Super Bowl losses against the Giants. If David Tyree didn't make that helmet catch in Super Bowl XLII and if Mario Manningham didn't make that crazy catch on the sidelines in Super Bowl XLVI, Brady would have a 19-0 season (2007) and six rings!
I think the uninformed will point to the INT and basically break the entire game down on one play, which i just SMH….How about this take, you have what you want to consider an all-time great defense. Up 10 in the 4th Qtr and you let NE drive the field, not once, but twice in the 4th Qtr, to take the lead….Brady threw the ball 50 times, with only 13 incompletions, that is a 74% completion rate….that is inexcusable for an "all time great defense"….that game was won in the 4th Qtr when Brady drove the field 2 times to take the lead
Not over yet. The NFL report was never going to come out before the game.
Not surprised you're still hanging onto this. So just go sit in front of the computer and keep on hitting refresh until the Wells/NFL report gets issued. And then it won't matter anyways, because you'll either say "I told you so" or "The NFL is covering up and the Pats have always cheated". You should become a sports media reporter - you sound like the rest of them.
There was enough time to call two plays, if the first didn't make it, no huddle, the second might. If the second didn't there was time for a time out and then try again on 4th down.
That wasn't the only stupid play the Hawks did at the end. They had Brady taking the snap in the end zone and knew they might be able to get to him and score two points, but they couldn't hold on and got the off-sides, sealing any chance at all to win.

lol. The media loves the Patriots, not the other way around.
