i hated both teams so gronk more likely should have said it was unimportant
why bother wasting time... u need a TD still, youre snapping the ball at 25 seconds left... you either pound it and score, or get stuffed and have clock and/or TO to score again.
your defense shold be able to hold them off 80 yards after that.
They only would have needed a field goal though and still had 2 timeouts. To be clear, I'm going for the TD 100% but if I run and get stopped I'm not in any rush to save time. Ideally you'd want to leave them with 15 seconds at most, and hopefully less than 10 seconds..
i am still trying to absorb this, there is no plausible explanation for this. You run you get at worst 6 points more and put game out of any realistic chance out of hand. Can any of you really defend this? Did we just see the NFL protect a commodity over a weak sister franchise? Can anyone say the truth here?
I'm convinced the nfl advised Carroll pats needed to win to protect the integrity of the game. Carroll is a great head coach. This game was rigged. I think I'm done w the nfl.
I figured there would be a thread about this. I thought that was a stunningly bad play-call with a timeout left; Marshawn is absolutely phenomenal in those situations.
It's easy to second guess play-calls, but that was really unbelievable.
I'm pretty sure Carroll's career will be defined by being a Super Bowl winning head coach who completely crushed Peyton Manning in his last Super Bowl appearance.
Pete Carroll doesnt call offensive plays. I dont think he calls defensive plays either.
That was Darrell Bevill. Who previously wanted to become a Head coach. You know, before he decided to make the worst play call in the history of the league.
Yeah, we are not the only ones that make stupid calls. I would have ran Lynch every down.
agree. As collinsworth aptly stated, "if marshan lynch can't get me a yard and we lose the SB so be it". Couldn't agree more.You have ridden Lynch all season to the SB, stopping at the most crucial moment has no explanation.
