I didn't tune into the game yesterday until there was less than a minute left on the clock. But I saw the two plays that decided the game. First, that spectacular catch by the Seahawks receiver while on his back with the ball bouncing about on his body and then with the foresight to get up and go out of bounds to stop the clock. That was a world class catch and one that would allow the Seahawks to pull the win out of the bag at the last moment from the one yard line.
Then comes the next play, which was inexplicable. The Seahawks are a running team. One or two rushing attempts and they are world champions. Besides, it takes a pretty determined and lucky defense to stop the rush from just one yard out with the offense having four cracks at it. I was flabbergasted when they threw on first down. What in the world were they thinking? They lost the championship on that one badly called play. The coach, the offensive coordinator or the quarterback, whoever decided that the pass was the play under those circumstances should hang their head in disgrace. Even a high school third-stringer would not have called a pass from the one yard line when the run was the winning call.
Sports is always an unpredictable endeavor, buy in this case, a losing endeavor for the Seahawks.
If you are going to throw in that situation, have a better-designed play than THAT.
I thought you were going to mention the Holiday Inn you stayed at last night. Sorry.
