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

U nailed it!...the seahawks had 3 plays to win!....Pete went with a “Affirmative Action” play(and as Joe Biden would say)...”That would have been storybook man”.....if that pass had connected Wilson is the MVP and Caroll is a genius..Out smarted himself big time!!>

Carroll has made a living getting his players to not start playing until the second half. It should have cost them against Green Bay, it did cost them against the Patriots. He made one big mistake in the second half. He thought Brady was another Manning,with no offensive line and thought his great defense could step it up anytime they felt like it. And I think the reason for the pass on the last play is because Carroll wants to always be the hero and wants Wilson to be the hero. This rah, rah, I’m 23 like my players, so I let them do anything they feel like doing and never disciplining them, also came back to bite him square in the ass. The thugs punching out players the minute they knew they had lost. This all from the freewheeling Pete Carroll. It’s a wonder he was not in the middle of the fight.

My conspiracy theory is that Carroll wanted Russell to be MVP not Lynch.

There were stories earlier this season that Seahawks management wanted rid of Lynch because of his attitude. A cancer in the locker room is what Seattle management called Lynch.

So Carroll calls what he thinks is a easy pass for Wilson and Wilson will be the big Super Bowl hero and the Seahawks can trade Lynch in the off season and go on their merry way. But events didn't quite play out that way.
