Pete Carroll snatched defeat from the jaws of victory with that boneheaded call.
Give it to The Beast and Seattle is hoisting the Lombardi.
Incredibly stupid call.
I’m mystified that they didn’t give it to Lynch on the 1-yard line on 2nd down with :28 seconds left and a Time Out in your back pocket.
Amazing.
Not a fan of either team, but Seattle handed NE that game on a silver platter.
Eventually the Seahawks could only make it so far on lucky pass plays making up for inferior play. The oddity is just as much that it lasted that long, as that it ended so dramatically.
People are saying ‘ride the horse you rode in on’ ... well, for the last 2 games, the horse they rode was lucky pass plays.
I wonder if Pete, after the Hail Mary 2 point conversion 2 weeks ago, Matthews catching fire, the lucky bounce/catch a few plays before, the gamble just before half time that paid off, was feeling a bit prideful - as if the Passing Gods were on his side - or that he were a passing genius, and he mistook those gods as himself.
Pride goeth ... and all that.
