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.
