It's official: Seahawks pass from the 1 called "worst call in NFL history".

[Thruthefog]

Unless the ball was run by RR's wife out of an elevator. then maybe?

Truth be known, I'll bet she was one drink away from hitting the floor without the love tap.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

can i nominate belichiks 4th and 2 call vs the colts?

I dunno, he knew the defense was just going to let Manning roll down the field if they didn`t retain possession. So aside from it not working, I`m OK with the logic.

As for the worst SB play call of all time, GOD IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.......... I still giggle like a schoolgirl when I think of it. ``And it`s intercepted!!``

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Wilson had a better shot to do a QB sneak or just scramble and run it in.

Fats Holmgren agrees. Fake it to Lynch and Little Russell probably walks in...

I honestly never considered that a bad call. Sometimes it's better to throw a first-pitch curveball if you know the hitter is sitting on a fastball.

Truth is Butler made a fantastic read and perfectly timed his undercut on the route. He doesn't get enough credit for the game-clinching defensive play.

If it was the Pats at the one and it was Sherman who made the play, it would probably be pimped by the media as the greatest defensive play in Superbowl history.

This, you are spot on. For it to be the worst play call you would need to assume that there was a 100% probability that beast mode would have punched it in, which is obviously false. What if they ran it and he failed, would that have been the worst play in history? people would be singing a different tune, that's for sure, "seawhawks got too conservative, they should have tried something else," blah, blah, blah

Beastmode is not a 1 yard runner esp up middle, now if it was on the 5 yard line , would have pitched to that guy and he runs it outside and in. Pats have been very good at goal-line situations on run, have been burned on, fake and pass

true, at one yard the beast mode has not spooled up yet, but many have said that handing off to him was a sure TD.

It seems like the most logical thing to do being on 1 yard line, but not a given. I'm sure if they handed him the ball and he fumbles, all the pundits would be saying what a dumb call

No, they'd be calling the RB butterfingers or hands of stone.

 

[Gooch1034]

Shit can happen on any play. I wasn't the safest play but maybe if you toss it to Lynch like everyone on Earth expected, he losses 5 yards, gets stuffed or fumbles? Maybe he scores? You never know? Once I saw the formation, I was expecting Wilson to run it in. I would say Butler made a great read rather than it being a bad play called.

You don't throw a first pitch curveball if its the bottom of the 9th and you have a closer that you to the World Series because he throws 100. The curveball pitch is Wilson running. Wilson passing would be like throwing a forkball.

Butler has had nothing but credit from me.

Thrice in fact if not 4 times he may have saved the game.

The one Kearse "dropped" down the near sidelines was in fact another huge play by Butler as he reached in with his right hand and hooked the elbow of Kearse just as the ball was about to be squeezed for a completion, causing the drop.

And he had one more strip on a perfectly timed deflection, again on Kearse, over the middle.

And let's not forget his presence of mind after the miracle catch to get up and knock Kearse out of bounds before he could score. Many would have simply laid there and watched him score.

Nope, Butler should have been MVP as part of a 50-50 with Edelman. Those 2 had HUGE games.

No question....Butler was far and away the MVP to me with Edelman a close 2nd....flat out joke who got the award

I`d have been OK on a 3-way too cause if Brady wasn`t making the other plays he did, the last play would not have mattered.

Just saying Butler was HUGE. Edelman was HUGE. Brady was cool under fire and captained the ship.

 

[gohusk]

You can argue that it was the wrong call but this claim that Bevell doesn't know his offense is absurd.

The Seahawks were woefully poor at goal line situations. Marshawn is an exceptional running back because he is one of the best at breaking a tackle but he can't break 3 tackles behind the line which is what often happened in those situations.

He called a fucking timing pattern over the middle with the SB on the line with a mobile QB. That's just stupid. I remember when they tried the same sort of thing earlier with the same result. That was a horrible call. Bevell's a liability and Wilson performs his best when they're forced to throw his stupid, ultra-conservative offense out the window and let Wilson do his thing.

Guy had over 300 yards, 4 tds, over 70% completion, over 100 QBR and helped orchestrate the biggest 2nd half comeback in SB really isn't a flatout joke. Edelman was huge and could have shared in the award. Guy was 37/50, so obviously the offense rested on his shoulders

sonny, a lot of people here are just...well...dumb.

 

[NEhomer]

The play was to roll Wilson out for the keep, wide open pass or toss out of the back of the endzone.
