People can run the timeouts/clock/maximize plays stuff all they want. Even if it is just two plays instead of three, I would bet my house on Lynch scoring on one of those two plays in that situation.

Also, Wilson is arguably the most mobile quarterback in the game. If you want to get unconventional, let him roll out or run off of the tackle or something. Basically do anything but throw a slant into a very tight spot that requires a perfect pass and a great effort by the receiver.

That was a horrible call and I don't see how anyone can defend it. One of the worst calls I've ever seen in sports.

Seattle got to two straights Super Bowls because of some very basic fundamentals and then they abandoned that game plan at the last minute and tried to get cute.

It cost them a championship.

I see the following possibilities on pass plays:

1) quarterback sack

2) incompletion

3) interception

4) completion

Who is this Woody guy?

I agree with the rest of your post 100%.

I live in MN and one thing we are all sure of around here is that Vikings will never win a SuperBowl. It's a tough state to live in because of that. They get your hopes up every few years just to break your hart all over again. I honestly don't follow football that close just because of that fact. Now we are spending millions building them a new stadium.

Feel your pain! I'm in Illinois - Da Bears.

EXACTLY! Calling for a pass in that situation was not THAT bad a decision. Calling for a pass up the middle, into a stacked defense which was clearly prepared for a play up the middle, was plain stupid. Wilson had lobbed the ball over several defenders throughout the game. A pass to the back corner of the endzone would have been a much smarter choice, given the clock and time-out situation.

That being said, several Pats defenders said they had practiced for that exact play and recognized what was coming based on the offensive formation. More proof that Belichick is a true coaching genius.

In the end, everything evened out! A miracle catch by Seattle, offset by a miracle turnover by the Pats! Made for a truly amazing finish and a happy, happy night for us here in Boston!

I don't like the pass over the center - but a pass was a better choice for the play - perhaps throw to the end zone corner?

Don't mistake my earlier post.... I think Tom Brady with records and all is just about the most underrated QB in football and the Pats are with due consideration for different eras, just about the best team in history.

......but if there was ever a single play that was more questionable.... I don't know what it was. However, my phone ain't exactly ringing off the hook with coaching offers for peewee much less NFL! :)

it is entirely possible that for the 1st time in recorded history, the game was lost by one team, not won by the other.

You've probably never seen a Frank Broyles coached Arkansas team try to sit on a 7-0 lead from the first through fourth quarters (Jan 1, 1966 Cotton Bowl vs LSU).

Or a Barry Switzer coached Cowboys game.

Might also mention that Seattle and their running back have the very worst record in the NFL at scoring on running plays inside the 5 yard line in the 2014 season.

You also have to give credit to the Patriot player who caught the ball. The Seattle player almost had the catch until the Patriot came up and grabbed the ball away from him.

Well I went out this morning and turned my number 12 flag upside down on the front of the trailer here in Mesa Arizona.
