Message: [QUOTE="cmr27, post: 1266472, member: 215"] I think seeing an NFL team rely on the option in crunch time is historic. The Seahawks ran six or seven option plays inside the last four minutes with Wilson eyeing the unblocked outside defender. If the defender crashed on the ball carrier, Wilson kept and looped outside. If the defender contained, Wilson gave to Lynch who went away from the defender's side. None of this is new for college football fans but it's unique in the pros. Also, the Packers had no deep defender on the game-winning touchdown, which typically is something that happens when you clamp down on the option. For the two-point conversion, Williams had good coverage on Kearse but he had no help. I think the option is the reason he had no help. NE is going to have their hands full but if one guy can stop it, it's BB. [/QUOTE]
