“Settling for the FG would have been an even worse call.”
I was joking around at our party that they were going to kick a fake field goal - Wilson to hold, Lynch to kick. Then I thought - “IIRC Lynch was a QB in high-school. Hike to Wilson, lateral to Lynch, Lynch throws into the corner to that tall guy Matthews.”
Except on the radio today they said Matthews was still too new and they hadn’t run any of the 2-minute drill plays in practice with him, hence why he wasn’t on the field. But jeeze - how tough is it to say “Hey tall guy, run over into the corner of the endzone. And if you can’t make the catch let it sail over your head.”
I think if Pete Carroll had sent in the field goal unit Cris Collingsworth would have gone ballistic.
