They had one time out. A lot of people don’t realize that they couldn’t use that without invoking a penalty since they had just called a timeout.

There was a little bit of tactics going on even with the timeouts. From comments made, the Seahawks expected Belichick to call a timeout when there was about a minute left, to preserve time...but he didn’t - because he didn’t want to give Carroll more time to plan, and so the Seahawks coaching staff got a bit discombobulated.

I guess that is why they compare the “hooded one” to the evil emperor from “Star Wars”.

In an interview this morning Butler said they’d practiced that play a bunch of times Friday, and they kept practicing it because he kept not getting around the pick to defend the pass. Which plays into why Belichick didn’t call a time out, if the Hawks lined up for exactly the play they’d practiced and knew they could stop don’t give Carroll a chance to change his mind.
