A great game was totally ruined ...

FIRST by that BONEHEAD call to pass the ball into the end zone on 2ND DOWN? Like you didn’t have ... lets see ... 3rd Down or 4th Down !!! Whoever called the play ought to be cashiered pronto. I hear it was the OC, but Carroll coulda nixed it.

SECOND the brawl after Brady knelt the first time.

I HATE crappy play calls and I HATE brawls ...

[Alas Babylon!]

Unlike others I will not blame the Seattle coaches for going to the air when everyone said they should have stuck with Lynch. At the point they had all their timeouts, a couple of downs and most importantly, the Patriots were bunched up on a very strong goal line defense. Lynch punched a lot of holes through the Pats line but he also bounced off a few times.

Again, it was no sure thing that Lynch could have punched through. Just look at the lineup in that play!

So going to the air was an effort to breakup that solid line a little, and with two downs left it made some sense.
