I wonder how much he was paid to make that call.

The game ended as it should. The Oracle and Morpheus said so.
To: OddLane
So, basically, they didn’t expect their receiver to catch the ball, but they didn’t expect it to be intercepted either.
That actually makes sense. What really messed this whole thing up was not that they didn’t run it, but that a pass was intercepted. That is a critical nuance.

Did not care about either team, but am somewhat glad to see Carroll humbled so nicely.
There is just something about him that grates, maybe starting back in his USC days.

Either Pete wanted to be the hero with his playing or he wanted Russell to be the hero.

I think the Patriocheats cheated. They inserted a remote control device into the ball and when the time was right Bill Bellicheat gave the order and it flew out of Russel Wilsons hands shocking him and into the Patriocheats hands which is why the Seahawks freaked out and were fighting. I think they could have used a device like this one used to control the ball.......

The real shame is that we were robbed of the chance to see what Marshawn Lynch would do in an interview as the Super Bowl winning touchdown scorer. I bet you wouldn’t be able to shut him up.

Except not calling timeout was the right call. They’d seen that look in the tapes, they knew what the play was, they’d practiced against and specifically had made sure Butler knew how to break it up. When you have confidence you’re on the upside of the play calling don’t call a timeout and give the other team a chance to call a better play.

Butler made a more aggressive play on the ball after seeing Lynch on a fade route to the left. If the catch was made by Seattle, the call would have been brilliant.

Screw the stats, it shoulda been Marshawn’s ball for the rush and TD.
To: OddLane
You can manufacture any statistics you like but they don't change the result, and the result is all that matters.

Sounds crazy, but hes right: With 26 seconds left and only one timeout, the Seahawks couldnt run Lynch three times in a row.This quote explains this non-story thoroughly.
If the Hawks had 3 timeouts, they would have run 4 times.
They didn't. They had 1 timeout and wanted to have one pass in the series to act as a score/timeout (if incomplete).
Like DeflateGate, this isn't all that hard to understand, the media just has another bone they can chew on and exploit peoples' ignorance of the game.
To: OddLane
The part that it seems few people are placing enough emphasis on is this.... the defender "Malcom Butler" made an absolutely GREAT play. If you watch that play back on youtube.... he made as good of a defensive play as I've ever seen. He didn't tip his hand that he knew where it was going to go. Most any other defender and that play was a touchdown. Or at worst, an incompletion due to pass interference. That kid deserves all of the "blame" for Seattle losing.
The other thing to consider is that Lynch was stuffed on the series that Seattle had to settle for a field goal on. While everyone, including me, suspects he would have scored.... that's not a forgone conclusion.

With 26 seconds left and only one timeout, the Seahawks couldnt run Lynch three times in a row. If they rushed on second down, didnt make it in, called timeout, rushed again, and still didnt make it in, theyd probably be out of time before they could get off another play.
Bull. They could have rushed with 26 and called timeout with 20 if they didn't make it. Then they could have rushed again and had 13 or 14 seconds left (absolute minimum 10 seconds) to get to the line and run it one more time.
To: OddLane
We were going to run the ball in to win the game, but not on that play, he said. I didnt want to waste a run play on their goal-line guys. It was a clear thought, but it didnt work out right. A clearly dumb thought. It's like a receiver looking downfield before he's caught the ball and dropping it.

Dumb call by Carroll.
If he wanted to kill time he should have called a rollout option.
1. Runs more time off.
2. Wilson better when moving than in pocket.
3. Easy toss into the stands if no one open or too much pressure.
4. Allows safer throw into corner of end zone or throw away, or option of running it in.
Right idea, wrong play.
