I don't know what the equivalent of that play call would be in basketball. Up by one, 25 seconds left, and you have Perk take a quick 3PT?
I wouldn't go that far. I mean, if not for Malcolm Butler reading that play perfectly, you guys would not be celebrating.
It's like being up by 2, getting fouled and missing both free throws, giving the other team a chance to win it at the buzzer. I think that's what it feels like.
I don't know. Too many things can go wrong on that play. You're throwing into traffic, so unless it's a perfect throw and catch, there are a lot of guys who can get their hands on the balls. A bobble by the receiver and it's a pick.
If there was less time on the clock, maybe you try that. Not on second down when you've got 30 seconds and a timeout, though. That's Beast time.
if lynch fails then people crucify carroll. they also only had 1 time out left. they put the ball in their best players hands, russell wilson, who had a super-clutch game.
think if it was brady, you have to give him the ball. wilson is close to the same level IMO.
Nah. They outsmarted themselves.
"Everyone will think we'll go with Lynch, so we won't"
If it would have worked, everyone would say it was ballsy, just like going for it at the end of the 1st half. Carroll would have been named MVP.
But, its football, and there is always a chance that things don't go the way you plan it...
Frankly, as irrational as it is, I'm with the "law of the averages" guys. Brady's two picks and the Pats still up, but crazy plays (Kearse) and mistake free football by the Seahawks? Come on, that has to catch up to you sometime...
