Some are acting that it was automatic that Lynch would have scored. It was far from it. Earlier in the game i think Seattle had the ball on about the 5 gave it to Lynch he was tackled in the backfield and they had to kick a field goal and went up 10 instead of 14. It was a very big play in the game. Maybe Carroll was thinking about that.
I ain’t go in’ to no MF dizzy land- Lynch!
Hightower and Ninkovich were on him all night, and my understanding is that Lynch's record of running it in from the 1 yard line is something like 1 and 5. A passing play makes sense.
Of course if they had run the ball and failed, it would still be considered racist.
I know, the ball is racist! Pigskin, pork, white meat, makes sense to me.
You’re right. It wasn’t a lock that Lynch would have scored even with three carries. The Pats defense had played well. I just had a feeling Lynch would find a way to get in, though. I was totally surprised they called a pass.
