Was the reason that playcall was made. There is no doubt in my mind about it. They wanted to pad Wilson's stats and make him the one to get the game winner so he was MVP of the superbowl and so he got all the headlines. Backfired on them badly. That is my only explanation when you have Beastmode on the 1 yd line, 2nd down, with 1 timeout and pass it.

It was going to be Wilsons' coming out party,  as a true elite qb..           when he marched his team down the field and threw a dart for a TD,  from the 1 yard line,  to win the SB.

 

 

 

 

The headlines were going to read "Patriots handled the Seahawks' legendary defense,  but had no answer for Wilson,  the SB QB Killer"

I agree with that. Hence they did not put the ball in Lynch's hands. Kinda like a statement to transition the offense over to Wilson.

Makes total sense to me,..

 

Probably why Carrolls explanation was so ridiculous.  He should have said flat out,.."it was a touchdown throw, not high risk, and Butler made a play.  99 times out of 100 it was a touchdown, and Id call it again. "

 

That would have shut up the controversy. Now we are off deflate gate and on the endless threads with everyone now an expert on what ifs in the past.

 

Butler makes one false move and everyone is talking about how brilliant the call was, how the whole Patriots defense sold out on Marshawn,.. bla bla bla.

Yeah, his explanation was weak. He actually sitting there saying they didn't run it because of their goalline package when that hadn't stopped them from still running it all year. Even Revis said in the post game that they weren't in a full goalline package. They wanted Wilson to get that game winner.

Its always a HERO call or a GOAT(and I mean a grass eating loser, not greatest of all time) looking back.  Thats a touchdown 99 of 100.  Its not so Bevell and the gang are the WORST,....COACHES,...EVER,....

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
