“am sorry but worry about scoring first... i know time on the clock is important, but sheesh... so is scoring...’
Exactly what I in my absolute football ignorance was thinking as I watched this play. Yeah, fine, I see the wisdom of looking at the whole game and not just playing to the moment. People who can do that well ought to get the big bucks BUT: On the one with mere seconds left? It looks bizarre to people who only watch superbowl games.
it looks bizarre to people who make a living off the NFL... i am not one who just watches Super Bowl games... and i do not just watch my favorite team's games... i watch every MNF game and every Thursday night game... and i watch the other teams play on Sunday as i have time... this is my take on the direction Pete Carroll took on that last play:
i have to think the way he just saw Lynch run on the last play his best option has to be Lynch running the ball... if he doesn't get it, then you run him again after a time out... i'm putting it on my best player's shoulders... i do not see how it is worse to lose that way than the way they ended up losing...
