I understand that they didn't want the Patriots to have any time left to run plays, but they call a quick slant from the goal line?  They were planning on using the 3rd or 4th down, so they say.  What is the best way to run the clock??  RUN THE BALL.

The potential outcomes of that brilliant play call are the following:
[LIST]
[*]Incomplete pass, maybe wastes 3 seconds - FAIL, on to 3rd down
[*]Complete pass is a touchdown and wastes maybe 3 seconds - WIN, but doesn't run the clock
[*]Interception and wasting seconds don't matter - FAIL
[*]Complete pass via screen that loses yards and wastes seconds - I guess WIN errr something
[/LIST]
Absolutely, positively the worst play call of all time.

I loathe all things Boston sports, and that was a complete slap in the face.  Seeing the little pansy Tom Brady on the sidelines pouting was awesome... until Bevell/Carroll shock the world and throw a slant when they have inarguably the best power RB in the game.

That improbable catch down the sidelines should've been the 3rd curse catch against the Pats, yet now goes down as the greatest meaningless catch in SB history.

Baffling.  Cheaters gon' cheat... and win.  Puke.
