Especially since it appears New England was going to let Lynch score had he been given the ball.

That’s a great point. The two announcers were talking about that just before the Mother Of All Stupid Bowl Plays occurred.

You can tell by the replay the formation of the left side of the NE defense.

He should since there were two better calls out there that probably would have scored:
1. Give the ball to Lynch.
2. Fake to Lynch and let Wilson have a run-pass option on a bootleg.
Both are much safer plays than the one they chose.

Lynch was pretty much contained all game. His soring was not a given.

A fellow freeper made this comment on another thread:
It was nice to see Pete Carol finally win a Super Bowl for New England!
Sorry, not sure who it was, but it is a great line!

I thought they should have bootlegged as well, as you suggest.
Don't forget this was second down, one time out left and 26 seconds on the clock. They had to use a pass to stop the clock, if they were going to run three plays.
BUT NOT OVER THE FREAKIN MIDDLE!!

Was Brian Williams there whispering the play in his ear?

He needs to move on.
Different sport (baseball), but I'm reminded of the World Series losing error by Bill Buckner, who, to my knowledge, still just smiles and shakes his head about it.
Or Twins manager Tom Kelly, listening to Jack Morris plead his case to go back to the mound for the tenth inning of World Series Game Seven: "Oh hell, it's just a ball game."
