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

[VRWCarea51]

Good!

[FlingWingFlyer]

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

[gundog]

Brady taking a knee is keeping him up at night?

[right way right]

There will be cheers of “Wrong play Pete! Wrong play Pete!”
Oh well, he gets payed well.

[OrangeHoof]

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.

[TexasGator]

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!

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Bucky &%^#ing DENT !!

Anyone get this ref? :-) /h

Was Brian Williams there whispering the play in his ear?

[daler]

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."

[BillT]

Get over your self’s, couch quarterbacks!
Marshawn had 5 attempts from the 1 yard line this season; he was successful only once.

The pass play was well designed but it was also well defended.

life happens while we make other plans.

[onyx]

Aw, it’s just a game, Pete!

[Veto!]

Turned on the tv EXACTLY as that final play was made/not made. It was awesomely stupid.

I am so very glad that I don’t give a damn.

[mowowie]

I can’t sleep either.
I sleep on my right side my sciatic nerve in my right thigh starts throbbing after a while.
I roll over and sleep on my left side my sciatic nerve in my left thigh starts throbbing after a while.
I turn over and sleep on my back and my lower back starts throbbing.
I roll over again on my belly and my arms start hurting after a while.

Drives me CRAZY!
ARGH!!!!!

[Sarah Barracuda]

Pete Carroll also believes that 9/11 was an inside job..I have zero sympathy for him

[SamAdams76]

Everybody yapping about that one play in the Super Bowl.

What they forget is that New England was already ahead in that game by a score of 28-24. Even if Seattle tried kicking a field goal, they still would have lost.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Well the Patriocheats cheated anyway so the Seahawks would have lost no matter what. If they scored that touchdown no doubt Bill Bellicheat would have cheated by paying off the ref to count it as incomplete or something crazy. Cheaters always win. Actually they probably did cheat on that last play, the Patriocheats could have had a remote control ball that they guided.

"Hey Marge, I got Tom Bradys footballs all ready..."

[JoeRed]

Shouldn’t the headline be “Sleepless in Seattle?”

[WellyP]

Deal with it!

[neocon1984]

Everybody screws up.

Put on your big boy pants, Pete, and learn from your mistakes. Winners have no time for pity parties. I think you are a winner.

Not necessarily a Hawks fan, but I think he and the GM have done an excellent job in building an excellent team. Somebody had to lose the game.
