Darrell Bevell says Lockette could have been stronger to the ball.

 

Aaron Wilson @RavensInsider  ·  1h 1 hour ago

To recap: Darrell Bevell blamed Ricardo Lockette. Pete Carroll blamed himself. Russell Wilson blamed himself. And Bevell blames player. Wow

That was the worst play call I've seen in the history of football.

When the statement, "if the play works you look like a genius and if it doesn't, you're a fool" is made, 9 times out of ten I agree, but not this time.

It was bad all the way around. If the play was a completion I would have said something along the lines of, "wow, that was a stupid risk to take." Not, "Dang Pete Carroll is ballsy".

I wonder if the thought of being "ballsy" went into the decision.

Fake field goal in the NFC championship game -- Ballsy!

Go for a TD with only 6 seconds left in the half -- Ballsy!

Throw a pass on 2nd and goal to win the SUPERBOWL -- hubris/stupid/unexplainable.

And you don't not run the ball because NE will be expecting it. Who cares? What is it with this game lately that coaches think outsmarting or a more accurate word for this line of thinking, tricking, your opponent is the best way to go?

Outsmarting an opponent is part of this game, a bigger part is lining up and smashing helmets, Seattle has proved time and again that they can do that well, and so you do it even if the other team knows it's coming.

Isn't that the mark of a great opponent, when you know what they're going to do but still can't stop it?

And just because they ran it doesn't mean it had to be some Shula straight up the gut play.

Run a toss, a sweep, a stretch play, the read option, something!

And someone brought up the stat that I also saw elsewhere that Lynch was 1 for 5 in scoring from the one yard line this year:

1. That's a very small sample size.

2. It was second down so running it 3 more times would surely increase the odds.

But at least the Seahawks lost.

My theory:  They are so into promoting Russell Wilson, they wanted him to throw the game-winning TD pass with 20 seconds left to kickstart his legend.  I know that is dumb, but you don't justify a dumb call with brilliant logic.

[MHS831]

Wilson audibled?  Wow.  He wanted to be the star--no glory in handing off.  He was trying to build the legend that the press is creating about him.  Wow.He has been drinking his own Kool-Aid. ---  This ranks up there with Webber's timeout or that Georgetown player's pass to James Worthy in college basketball.

I said the same thing. I'm glad New England won and I'm glad the world got to see Seattle's true colors also with the way they acted at the end.

Wow, I said the same thing.

God didn't want RW to win last night so he told him to call an audible.

Just before the play I was trying to figure out why New England did not call timeout.  I wonder if the play call had been different had they called one.

[PntherPryd]

That is hilarious.

The 12th man has turned lol.
