The Championship Trophy is in your hands..
All you have to do is hand it off to the best RB in league, who's been dominating the Defense all day long. You have 40 seconds left, a timeout, and 3 tries to run it ONE yard with said RB, to win your second straight Super Bowl..
Not a Seahawks fan (thankfully), but that that will go down as THEE worst play-call of all time imo... under the cir stances.
So it got me thinking: What feeling is worse, what we went through with 6? Or Seahawks fans are feeling right now.
We at least had a chance to redeem ourselves, and imo it's harder to make it to the Super Bowl than it is the NBA Finals. But they also won it last year too. This is a tough call.
What say you?
Pretty equal, honestly. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory at the highest apex of the sport on the grandest stage is absolutely brutal. No two ways about it.
Doubt the Seahawks win next year, so probably that is worse. The Spurs avenged their heartbreak in the most incredible way possible.
Seahawks play was worse, but Spurs probably felt worse because we had the lead, and we didn't win the year before and we thought we wasted our last chance. Seattle is still young.
6.
They had Lynch (Leonard) the whole time, instead went with Parker (Wilson) lmao.
they never had the lead. we did.
Up 24-14. I'm gonna say Spurs 6 but the Hawks play is a close second. I'll be rooting for them next season.
They were up by 10 to start the quarter
Seahawks play is worse.
It's about a 97-98% chance lynch gets 1 yard in 2-3 tries.
They entered the qtr up 10 (24-14).
Plus, it's different in the NFL. If Seattle had given up the 1-yard run to lose the SB, it wouldn't even be a comparison.
But, when you're 1-yard away with 40 sec and a timeout left, with the best RB in the league, who's been dominating the Pats D all day long, and you decide to randomly throw it and it;s an INT..? That's just an unbelievably heartbreaking way to lose a Super Bowl.
I was thinking the same thing while driving home from a party. It's ing brutal to have a championship ripped out of your hands by some stupid coaching. Pete Carrol had headphones on and why he didn't over rule that called pass play from the coordinator is shocking.
Any other instances where a coach blew a championship in any sport like Popovich and Carrol just did?
I think 6 was worse given the context. At the time there was the doubt that the aging Spurs could get back and the fact the Spurs actually had what seemed an insurmountable lead. Everything literally had to go wrong for San Antonio to even give Miami a chance and it did. Seattle was trying to come from behind and came up short. Plus Seattle is young.
Meh, Seahawks fans can watch last year's run to ease the pain. We didn't get that luxury after 2013.
You rooted for them all year long though..
seahawks imo. whats the fear of calling a run play? getting stuffed? then you have 3rd and 1 and 4th and 1...
6
Seattle's was worse hands down, they had it won and blew it, at least the spurs had another shot in game 7. This was inexplicable, everyone thought the game was over.
I'm definitely picking the Seahawks though.
The Spurs still had an OT and Game 7 to redeem themselves. Miami was just better that year.
Seahawks literally had that game, more so than we did.
Kinda my thoughts. They rang last year. It softens the blow.Meh, Seahawks fans can watch last year's run to ease the pain. We didn't get that luxury after 2013.
Naw, cuz you couldve been back2back and to come that close and blow it... That would kill me
You rang last year and might ring next year if you're Seattle. Sucks but it's more like .4 given context. After 6 and 7 everyone thought Spurs were done

Who cares, Spurs got 5 tbh....
That was Gregg Popovich sitting Duncan for the last rebound in game 6 esque tbh
You'd think so, but Pats D is pretty stellar. Barnwell tweeted that Seahawks win % was something like 60-65% on 2nd and goal. The Heat's had to be under 5% when Lebron bricked the first of his two missed threes.
This one had the yo-yo effect, whereas 6 (a) didn't eliminate the Spurs and (b) Spurs actually had a possession to win game in regulation and still had overtime. So while shocking, it didn't shut the door. In terms of expected win %, 6 was worse. In every other way, Sea-NE was.
I dont need a stats geek to tell me the % chance the seahawks had of winning that game.
Lets be clear, it was 100 ING PERCENT IF THEY RUN HIM. PERIOD END OF STORY.
