Worst call ever

Paging Doug marrone, paging Doug marrone seems there's an opening for offensive coordinator in Seattle :rolling:

I blame Carroll not the OC. Carroll could have easily said no. They have headsets. A decision like that wasn't done in a vacuum.

In case its edited away before someone can read it.

"He is responsible for making a terrible call that lost the Seahawks Super Bowl 49."

"By choosing to have QB Russell Wilson throw on the one-yard line instead of giving the ball to Seahawks star running back Marshawn Lynch, Bevell cemented his place in history as one of the most flawed playcallers of all time."

"Was responsible for possibly the worst play call in Super Bowl XLIX history, by calling a pass play on with 1 yard line, which was intercepted, instead of running it in with Marshawn Lynch, essentially giving away a sure Super Bowl victory."

He should be fired immediately. On the 1 yard line and he calls a shotgun pass formation, and your back is the freaken beast?
 
Best call ever. Carroll = Fredo, Belichick = Michael.

And my god - that pass? It wasn't like a goal line pass you often see where the receiver is 10 yards in the clear. He throws into the area which is congested with 11 defenders ready to take down Lynch. Stunning.

Ah, not as bad a call as it looked live. Butler made a helluva play.

Browner made that play possible as he fought thru Kearse's pick and allowed Butler a straight line to jump in front of Lockett. It was just an incredibly dumb play call with a beast in the backfield.
New England's offense though should get more credit as while Brady thru 2 picks he moved the ball on the supposed best defense all game long.

Butler made a handful of really nice plays down the stretch. He's legit. Another steal for the Pats.
 
Regardless of the winner, I wasn't going to be happy. Big Bills fan, but I've grown to also strongly dislike Seattle.

That said, really fun game to watch.

it might be the best play ever. recognition, anticipation, speed, power to go through the WR, coordination to make the catch. he got there so fast

It really was an unbelievable play. The play call was not very smart, but 99 times out of 100 that is either a TD or incomplete. Most DB's don't make that play, and for some reason Malcolm Butler was on his game yesterday.

alot of this beast mode stuff is a bunch of bullsh!t.

lynch is 14 for 31 on goal to go from the 1. 45%

That's below average. Everyone else gets a TD 54% of the time since 2007. 54% is 20% better than 45%

bunch of idiots pretend to footballs, all kinds of head shots and dive at knees schiano style. a team has to be some kind of aholes to make me ok with the pats winning

Actually I did hear the same thing this morning.

The stats seem to support the call. Wow.

i got so sick and tired of the beast mode nonsense when he was in buffalo aggressively averaging 4 yards per carry like every other back in the league. you don't get to stiff arm DBs to get in from the 1 yard line

Lol... The stiff arm line is gold.
 
Go 3 wide on the right, fake a handoff to Lynch and let Wilson bootleg to the left. Do you think Collins stays home, or crashes the line on Lynch?

Wilson could have probably run 10 seconds off the clock he would have been so alone out there.

So he's 45% and he gets 3 chances to carry it? I like those odds. Should have given him the damn ball.
 
Obvious top me they should have given the ball to Lynch. But if they were going to do something else it should have been a bootleg. They have one of the best running QB's in the game (if not the best). You telling me Wilson couldn't have gotten the yard? Now if you are going to pass and "waste a play" as Carroll said (we'll come back to that) you do not throw the slant. Not with Russell Wilson as your QB. That is bot a throw he is good at or even attempts very often. Throw the fade to either Mathews or even your 6'5" TE and make sure its up high and them or no one. Wilson is a tremendous scrambler, very good runner and throws a really nice deep ball. He is also a very good leader. But he is not the great QB some people say he is. You make that call with Tom Brady or even Joe Flacco as your QB, not Wilson. Now back to one of the other most ignorant things I've ever heard a coach say. Pete carroll actually said they were trying to waste that play.?!?!? You have 2nd down at the 1 yard line with 30 seconds to play and it even crosses your mind to waste a play? I understand the over thinking strategy of stopping the clock if its incomplete and then being able to run and stop it with your last time out but that is stupid. Pete Carroll got caught up in how great he thinks he is. Partly because his stupid gamble at the end of the 1st half paid off.

I've always wondered why they call it a "bootleg":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootleg_play

"The name comes from the fact that on a play action the quarterback often hides the ball from the defense by his thigh to make the run look more convincing. This is similar to the way bootleggers would hide whiskey in their trousers during Prohibition."

Maybe they made the call because they had too much whiskey in their trousers.
