The best team won

 

And we say Philbin is an idiot.

 

yes.... i never want to hear anyone complain about our oc until he throws away a superbowl like that. No way the pats stop the seahawks 3 straight times from getting a yard. Qb sneak/run from lynch, who doesn't get stopped for negative yards

 

ABSURD...And here I was thinking Bellicheat lost it by not calling TO....these coaches one up each other....

 

that was the worst call ever!!! stupid stupid stupid!!!! did I mention how stupid it was?

 

you don't give the other teams time outs. Philpin would have helped them out

 

well technically ----Russell threw it away

 

Choke...

 

Is Seattle burning?

 

Belichick coached that right imo, but wow that was a horrible play call. They let so much time run off the clock, to throw a pass with a high chance of disaster. You have a top NFL running back and a timeout left plow it in.

 

one could argue that is a blurry picture of Pete Carroll

 

No issue with the call. It wss a blatant pass interference and NE got away with about 7 other blatant calls down the stretch.

This was a complete fix in that regard. NE was given everychance to win by the NFL.

 

Read-option should've been the call. They hadn't run it all game, the Patriots would've likely been unprepared for it, and that way you feature both Lynch and Wilson, who can both run.

 

Doesn't the defender have as much right to the ball as the receiver in that situation?

 

Yeah, worst play call ever, at least if you weight it by importance of the situation. And that was the most depressing end to a game I've ever experienced. Marshawn Lynch on the 1 yard line.. 3 tries if necessary, and you pass! STUPID!

 

It was a stupid call.... interference is never going to be called there, esp not against the Patriots

 

Blame the guy who posted on youtube, crappy upload of video

 

Lol you sound so stupid right now.

 

Bad pass, horrible call.

 

This.

 

Yeah that's the worst call I've ever seen on a stage like this. I mean WTF?!?!

 

Just...just... WOW.:pity:

 

YES.

You're a yard out, with a timeout and a few downs, with the top Running Back in the NFL this year that you gave a monster contract to...and you decide not to give him the ball? They had the trophy on a silver platter, Lynch was running like a bulldozer at that point against the tired Pats D. And you call a pass...

Not only that, but it gives Belicheat a trophy and he didn't even have to do anything. He got to stand there and watch the Seahawks blow it. Without a doubt, the worst call in NFL history.

 

rofl. i forgot about that one

 

Rewound the dvr to make this little beauty lol.

 

That was the worst call I've ever seen. Seattle's run of luck ended in disastrous fashion which is kind of fitting and karma if I've ever seen it. I hate the Pats but they did deserve to win that game. I don't know what anyone here is talking about with Pass Interference, a defender has every right to fight for position to make a play on the ball, there is no controversy there at all. If the Pats had been called for pass interference that would have been highway robbery.

 

Seahawks have three guys that could have rushed it in...

 

after the green bay game i was thinking the same thing when this game ended. Karma

 

Should Wilson be held accountable for not changing the play?

 

no but he shouldve thrown it at the knees. This way no chance for int. Its either a td or incomplete. Situational awareness. It was a horrible throw considering the circumstances, one if he was more experienced, might not have made

 

Especially after that miracle bouncing ball and foot to hand catch to get them in position, I mean it was like Seattle could do nothing right and still win football games with miracle last minute plays.

 

No, but Pete Carroll should be.

 

I can't fault Wilson really, I mean that was a terrible pass but he never should have been put in that spot.

 

got cute.

 

awful call and a bad pass but like it was said he should never have been put in that situation but he should have went low with the throw. that call will be forever talked about and it cost a team at a chance at a dynasty.

 

Pete Carroll is stepping up and taking the blame.

As for those trying to claim this was somehow a poor decision on the part of Russell Wilson, this is what he saw when he made the decision to throw it. It was the absolute correct decision, given the play call:
