Pete Carroll with one of the worst calls ever

[Ghazi]

what a great game. but wow. Beastmode has to get the ball there.

[Ghazi]

this eerily reminds me of his botched management of the 2006 Rose Bowl

[AlexJones]

Not sure what was worse: this playcall or Belichick not using a timeout at the 1 minute mark.

[Ghazi]

belichick probably shouldve used a tO... but give the ball to Lynch is so obvious.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

The offensive playcalling for the Seahawks became bad after they went up 24-14.

[Mal]

He was trying to make Struggle best QB in the game. :lmao

[Sean Cagney]

Not sure what was worse: this playcall or Belichick not using a timeout at the 1 minute mark.

Yeah I was wondering what the hell he was doing there, you could tell he was second guessing it when the clock got way down and said in his head maybe I should have called a TO but that call bails him out. Both were incredibly stupid.

[AlexJones]

Lynch is virtually unstoppable anywhere within 10 yards of the endzone.. Belichick was just asking to lose that game with seconds to go. How the hell do you say no to the ball with 1 minute on the clock with 2 TOs down by 3.

[sook]

"one of"?

...thats the worst call I've seen in sports...period.

[Mal]

They need to trade Lynch, give that 22mil to Struggle and fell into misery. Cant stand those faggots

[Malik Hairston]

It was a terrible call by a coach that was trying to inflate his QB, but still, it was an easy pass/read..

Any decent QB scores a TD there, tbh..

[TampaDude]

"one of"?

...thats the worst call I've seen in sports...period.

Amen. Congrats to the Patriots. Enjoy your gift from Pete Carroll. :lol

[doobs]

That atrocious playcall reminds me of the niners not giving gore the ball two years ago, and instead throwing a bunch of fades to Crabtree. Dumbass PAC-10/12 coaches.

[Raven]

Curran says on Twitter they would have let Seattle score if they called a run.

[Infinite_limit]

How bout that shitty Linebacker defending Gronk

[pgardn]

this eerily reminds me of his botched management of the 2006 Rose Bowl

UT fans thank Petey for that gift.

M. Fckn Lynch may actually have something to say at last.

[djohn2oo8]

Every single NFC team in the playoffs lost in gut wrenching fashion.

[TampaDude]

UT fans thank Petey for that gift.

M. Fckn Lynch may actually have something to say at last.

"I can't say publicly what I thought of that last play call, or I'll get fined." :lol

[rogues]

Every single NFC team in the playoffs lost in gut wrenching fashion.:lol Pretty much, tbh..save for the Panthers-Cardinals and Panthers-Seahawks..all game ended in controversy..

[spurraider21]

its not even a case of :cry hindsight is 20/20 :cry

it was one of the most obviously easy calls in nfl history and they botched it

[TampaDude]

its not even a case of :cry hindsight is 20/20 :cry

Pete Carroll: "This play call is so utterly stupid and boneheaded, they'll never expect it." :lol

[ploto]

The offensive playcalling for the Seahawks became bad after they went up 24-14.
So true.

[Trainwreck2100]

Carrol said he passed it because his teams didn't matchup up with Pats goalline set for a run and its usually just a throw away.

[spurraider21]

what was the fear, that they'd get stuffed? :lol

then it would still be 3rd and goal from the 1. no downside to running it

[ploto]

The more he tries to explain it, the less sense he makes!

[Sean Cagney]

Lynch is virtually unstoppable anywhere within 10 yards of the endzone.. Belichick was just asking to lose that game with seconds to go. How the hell do you say no to the ball with 1 minute on the clock with 2 TOs down by 3.
I still have no clue man.

[HI-FI]

i honestly have no idea what the fuck happened at the end :lol

everyone at my party was in shock that Hoodie didn't call a TO, then that playcall was so bad. unfuckingreal. when the cheaters were celebrating, it was like someone took a corn ridden shit right in the middle of the party. people just disbanded and called it a night.


honestly one of the worst SBs I've seen. Brady winning MVP despite another dink n dunkpalooza. even the commercials were garbage except for maybe two of them. there was even a promo for a show called the Slap, about some faggot kid getting bitch slapped. I think the apocalypse is near.

This tbh....

[HI-FI]

true. plus that commercial for Always (?) about bitches running and throwing like girls. wtf was that about :lol

fuck, i realize Goodell is the pats pre-paid lawyer, but that nigga is running the league into the ground.

Moron should've handed it off to Deebo three straight times tbh.

real talk....how much was that a fuckup by Wilson and how much was it a terrible play call?

shit, even in Madden where I never run it, I would've run that fucker in that moment.

Tough to argue. Atleast Crapernick threw fades out of the end zone

[Ghazi]

It was a fuckip by Wilson but it was a terrible playcall as well. Giving it to Lynch was so extremelt obvious though... we are talking 1 yard away from the title here and you have Beastmode... jesus

[Silver&Black]

Same situation.....but switch Tom Brady to the Seattle Seahawks....

Does Tom call an audible when he gets that dumbass play-call?

[spurraider21]

I'd trust Tom over Wilson in that spot, obviously. Tom is a top 2 quarterback of all time

[HI-FI]

you gotta go with Brady in that spot because Ernie Adams would've told him exactly what the defense was doing in that moment on their private radio frequency. so advantage pats in that situation.

man i feel bad for Lynch. you could tell he wanted to go out as a champion, was ready to do what it took for Seattle, then that call.:rollin

[Silver&Black]

I'd trust Tom over Wilson in that spot, obviously. Tom is a top 2 quarterback of all time

What I'm trying to say is this....

Wilson is a younger QB in the league....and I don't think he has the balls yet to question the head coach or the OC's decision. But with Brady....he's well established. Does he (if he gets the same play call) call an audible and hand the ball off to Beast Mode?

[Clipper Nation]

562097218895630336

Wow... Bevell is a fucking faggot, letting Carroll take the blame for him and then trying to scapegoat the wide receiver for his terrible playcall. This guy has no business coaching in the NFL.

[spurraider21]

this guy was getting some HC interviews... he just fucked himself over with that one call, now trying to spin it

[Thebesteva]

Honestly, before the play happened, I turned to my Seahawk buddy and said "R they seriously throwing it? It might get picked off wtf is he doi.." and right there it got picked off :lol

Friends were like how did u know???? Im like bro....madden Xbox man...I know my play calling fam

2nd and goal from the 1... fullback dive 3 times

[HI-FI]

shittiest part of that call is I really don't think patriots would've even tied it. looked like BB was trying to let them have the TD, save as much time in the hopes of tying it but it felt like everything was turning against the patsies....then that call happened.

I mean honestly, who the fuck was going to stop Lynch? I understand he was trying to avoid the awkward 4th down and 1 to go situation, but you NEVVEEEEEEEEER pass in that situation.

Something interesting I mentioned to friends at my little tea party here today for the Superbowl. That call that Caroll made at half time that tied it instead of going for the 3 was gusty, but a little too gutsy. Everyone laughed at me when I said this is a bad idea just get the 3 up there, but I told them that risk taking attitude is not always the best idea. Being a pussy like John Fox is a bad idea too, but you wanna play it like a game of chess.

Honestly, I put more consideration into Madden on Xbox when I used to play than that when it was a Superbowl game (Season Mode). Fucking Pete just went for it there like it was a pre-season game.

i thought that call was fine. they probably instructed Wilson to just drop back and sling it right away... if its not there, throw it away. they had 6 seconds, which is enough time to run a quick one like that.

but on the goal line with the championship hanging in the balance? :lol
if he ran the ball 3 times and they got stuffed, i doubt they'd be criticized at all

I'm sorry my nig, that was not the right call. I'm not playing back to the future here now that I know the results. I had several Seahawk co doctor"fans" here (One of them called their fiance and said my Eagles lost ) and right before that last play they were laughing at me (I was rooting for Seahawks to lose) and I told them right before that play "Are they passing it?!!! This is going to be an interception dude"

They were like bruh how did u know? I was like it was pretty obvious that was a horrendous call. In fact, even in Madden thats almost always an interception from that yardage

i was referring to the end of the first half. i was ok with that call.

the 4th quarter call was obviously wrong

Oh, yeah I wasnt jumping up and down over that call, but I thought it was a bit off.

Anyway, this is the hardest part of the sports season for me, not only is it over but my Lakers and Broncos are like 10000000000000 years away from being contenders :cry. God damn I wish I could be a bandwagoner.

Like 80% of the faggots that were screaming Seahawk nation last year on my FB were chanting NE!!

That's exactly what we all saw, because thats what really happened. Not olny stupid but blind. Lockette should have had the ball.

Just think here are a bunch of guys criticizing a young QB making his second SB start before 27 years of age. No word of his great pass last week to get here. No word of his SB win. No word of all the things he's done never seen before. And if he had of completed that pass.......crickets.

Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dumb little shits.

Tbh, I have nothing against Wilson. I'm not sure if he's the real deal or not yet, though I will say he has flashes of brilliance. But that Seahawks team is so amazing that Kyle Orton could have won a superbowl with them. They're just that good, its really not a diss.

depends on your definition of "real deal"

i think he's shown he's a franchise QB (in that Seattle isn't going to be looking to replace him anytime soon). don't mistake franchise QB for elite QB. guys like Flacco, Eli, Ryan are all franchise QB's but none are elite.

Avante is always trying to prop wilson into the elite class, which i don't buy

[Mal]

They were trying to make Wilson a hero. Media would wet their pants if that would`ve been completed. Lynch wouldnt create so much hype and reneview.

Maybe he had it back in his head. Srsly how the fuck you overthink that play.

OC`s saying some shit about clock managment. Holy crap.

Its obvious tbh, and is one of the main reasons why so many people hate on him. Most of his tds has been of the statpad variety.

[Thebesteva]

I just heard Carolls explanation, it makes sense. They had 1 time out left and with less than a minute left, they felt a Lynch run forces you to use the time out if he doesnt score and now you're in a huge pickle.

Personally, I disagree with his view, even if I didnt know the result. You go with a Lynch run, timeout, a Wilson draw for the TD, and a pass on 4th with time running out.

[Mal]

Lynch would`ve pound it with 2 tries at 1yrd line.

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/what-were-seahawks-thinking-on-russell-wilson-s-goal-line-pass--explanations-make-little-sense-062200547.html

"What were Seahawks thinking on Russell Wilson's goal-line pass? Explanations make little sense:

...

It was the ultimate in a coaching staff out-thinking itself. Carroll is known for being clever – remember the brilliant fake field goal in the NFC championship? – and yet here he was far too clever. Hand the ball to Lynch. Win the title.

..."

[pgardn]

The pass to end the first half with 6 seconds left was also risky.
If that ball gets batted up, bobbled, or even worse, intercepted, we question why did he not take the easy FG.
That last play of the half took 4 out 6 seconds. I assumed they thought they could get a receiver open quickly and they did. And that Pete would get a time review of the play if the time expired (provided it failed).

But to throw a short pick slant into a crowded goal line? How about throw the ball up to a corner if their 6'4" WR is single covered if your are so inclined to throw it? Then you can try Lynch twice with a time out. Or whatever.

If a team is going to lose from less than 1 yard out, lose it with your real horse on offense. Then people will talk about the incredible NE goal line stand against a guy that had been pounding them unmercifully.

Big history was made last night.

brady would still have had a chance to at least tie it though

[pgardn]

If the Pats wanted to go with that thinking, calling a time out after the Lynch run to the goal line, and then let the Seahawks score was the way to go. The NE fans I was around were screaming for this.

[Killakobe81]

Add to the fact the Pats were one of the worst teams all year in 3rd and 4th and 1 it was dumb no excuse logic, formations or thought process justifies that call. I think Lockette didnt fight h ard enough for his spot but I blame Wilson second after the OC and Pete c. No way Parcells (who i think is a bit overrated) loses that game like that. No way does Brady lose that game like that.

:lol Pretty much, tbh..save for the Panthers-Cardinals and Panthers-Seahawks..all game ended in controversy..

Cardinals were up Vs Panthers when Lindley went full retard, The Punter went shank crazy, and Ted Ginn coughed up a punt in his own redzone.

As a Cardinals fan, while not controversial, watching the skeleton of a 11-2 team go 0-4 in last four games culminating in that wretched playoff performance was definitely heartbreaking.

[spurraider21]

This play was just horrible from the call to the execution...

Order blame, worst being first:

- RW throw
- Lockette went to the ball like a puss

^Yup. Carroll made that call because he knew his guys were going to execute it properly. Then they didn't.

[Clipper Nation]

I wouldn't be surprised either. With all his teammates talking about how they wanted Lynch to win SBMVP, he probably got jealous - much like his idol Enrique was jealous of Danny Green's potential Finals MVP in 2013 :lol

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/conspiracy-theory-about-seahawks--fateful-call-is-just-goofy-194227126.html

apparently, Seahawk players feel the way some of you are saying. They wanted to make Wilson a hero and it failed

[spurraider21]

if this was the case, why did they call a run on the play just before that? you really think they called that run hoping Lynch would go down at the 1 :lol

lol, end of that article you just posted.

Please, let's stop this conspiracy theory now, because we're all in danger of losing too many brain cells contemplating something that has zero chance of being true.

i know most people here are trolling or just playing out a shtick, but people gotta think for a minute before saying the first thing that pops in their head

[Clipper Nation]

The NFL media is still firmly attached to Struggle's dick and they hate Lynch, of course they're going to try to write that off as a conspiracy theory.

[313]

I can maybe understand passing it to preserve time, but the pass play itself was terrible. Why not play action, at least? Why not throw a fade to the corner to that tall Foot Locker Employee who's been beasting all day? :lol

If Russ throws a better ball, are we all even talking about how bad a call this was? Nah we're probably talking about how retarded Belicuck is for not calling a timeout

Troof. I would go like 60%, 30%, and 10% in order for those things you mentioned for the Seahawks portion of the blame plus the New England guy just made a hell of a play

[Brazil]

Troof. I would go like 60%, 30%, and 10% in order for those things you mentioned for the Seahawks portion of the blame plus the New England guy just made a hell of a play

60% is about right imo... it was retarded. I mean you can somehow inderstand the overthinking process on the play. They pack the line, I'm gonna outsmart the dudes and see if I can waste a bit more time in the process but man you have the best defense in the nfl... trust your guys to hold the score one fucking minute tbh... Beli has been more pragmatic in the last O play with much less D power, he could have tried also to be smarter than everybody and waste more time fucking around but after a run he went for the safe play and score and trust defense to hold it.

and I agree the rookie deserves a bit more praise... of course the two last factors helped but dude made a hell of a play... now one could have commented dude was too aggressive and did not play safe. He could have blocked the receiver before the line instead of trying to steal the ball. If he misses the ball people would have put the blame on him.
