I COMPLETELY agree. If you know football, you realize that this was probably the worst play call in a game that mattered...in HISTORY. It was DUMB on so many levels.
1) You give it to Lynch in this situation. PERIOD. Anything else is being too-cute by half...and out thinking yourself.
2) If by some IDIOTIC reason you want to throw it...you PLAY ACTION because everyone and their momma is expecting a run. You don't line up in a way that shows you are going to pass...
3) If by some IDIOTIC reason you want to throw it on the 1 yard line...YOU DO NOT THROW A SLANT! You do not throw it because in this situation EVERYONE is expecting a run up the middle...thus EVERYONE is stacked in the box. You don't throw a slant because its for SURE to be in traffic.
Carrol can keep telling himself that it was a good call...but he's the only one saying it...and I think deep down even HE has to really believe it was stupid and he out-thunk himself.
Wilson should’ve run it himself or found some way to get to Marshawn Lynch. Period. He should not have thrown it over the middle.
