As George Madden put it ,” Only three things can happen in a pass play, and two of them are bad”

Well, Pete Carroll is a truther. So, the following explanation will fit into his mindset:

Bush called the play

woukld'a, could'a, should'a ... but DINT

Why?

SOMETHINJG got in the way of clear(er) thinking ....

The devil ?

Then there must be a God

God ?

Then there must be a God


SOMEwhere along the line, people are going to have to reconcile a seemingly miraculous event occuring in spite of brilliant, capable, designers, coaches and players ...

Let me ask YOU ... WHAT could have broken that momentum ?

And don't hand me that "bad call" crap ... perhaps yes it was ... but SOMEthing got into the otherwize focussed and brilliant brain(s) of the coach ...

What ?

Perhaps the devil made him do it

I posted this on another thread ...

Marshawn Lynch carried the ball five times from the 1 yard line this season. He only scored ONCE.

I still would have given him the ball, but maybe Pete Carroll isn't such a fool.

Not sure how the play calling in that organization works. I don’t know just how much liberty he’s given to change plays or audible. And from what I’ve heard, Carrol called that play or at least agreed to it...so it ain’t on Wilson. He was doing what he was told to do.

As bad as it must suck to be a Seahawks fan, or to have been a Packers fan last game, as a Jets fan I have had to endure this crap all year... Losing to the Patriots by one on a botched FG attempt, etc, so in the end, as Clint said “We all got it comin’ kid.”

Next year, the NFL is going retro. The Big Game will officially be known as Super Bowl 50. For one year, the league is going back to Arabic numbers. Why I don’t know. The game after that will be Super Bowl LI.

They are playing the next Super Bowl in Long Island? (Super Bowl LI).

"The problem with running was that the Pats had their Goal line defense in with six Linemen on the field."

The play before where Marshawn Lynch ran for 4 yards showed to me that the Pats were spent. He was wearing on them. I believe he had gained more yards in the second half than the first. They also had two timeouts and could afford to run him three times to gain less than a yard. Honestly, we were discussing whether the Pats were just going to let them score and try to go down the field real quickly like Green Bay did back in the 90's during one SuperBowl.

Lots of strange things happened in the last moments of SB XLIX. First, the on-the-ground-fumbling catch that put the Seahawks on the 6-yard line. Followed by a routine running play that put the ball inside the 1-yard line, then the short slant pass that was intercepted with the Patriot interceptor trying inexplicably to run the ball out of the end zone, leaving no room for a knee-down play. And then the clumsy 5-yard offside penalty by the Seahawks which provided the room for the knee-down and, to cap it off, the all-out-sore-loser melee. The last seconds of the game were unbelievable.

"I wouldn’t blame Lynch if he started looking around for another team to play for"

The problem is that he's getting pretty close to 30 and we all know what most running backs are like once they hit that magical age. Especially power running backs. Short shelf life...

Maybe he didn’t know exactly where he was. I would imagine things were a bit . . . exciting.

Ironically the two Seattle penalties put the Pats on the 20-yard line for the final knee-down. Right where they would have been (without the resultant drama) had Butler simply taken a knee after intercepting that ball in the end zone.

For a long, loooong time, Seahawks fans will be discussing how this happened and who was behind it. The answer to this mystery, like so many others, is obvious: the Butler did it.

I thought that was Woody Hayes, but forget it, you’re rolling . . .
