What's Worse.. Seahawks Play-Call, or 6?

[ElNono]

I'm gonna go with the Seahawks too... that was a millisecond play, no 2nd chance possible. The Spurs had more opportunities after Game 6 and did not capitalize. For the Seahawks, that was it.

Sure, they were the defending champs, but it still sucks the whole season ends abruptly in that one play.

Almost forgot about this 10 secs left... No timeout... Manu just wants to be your hero

That was a total ing foul, jesus

[Budkin]

Hard to compare them but it now lives in infamy with both 6 and the Rangers 2011 choke job. Situations where the le is all but won and then literally ripped from your hands.

Wow that's the first time I've actually seen that replay since that night. Guess they didn't want the le won at the line.

[CGD]

Seahawks. They CHOSE not to make the right play call. So many random had to happen for Ray Allen's shot to go in.

[100%duncan]

6.

The game last night came down to 1 horrible play.

In Game 6, the coach ed up not benching a certain player EIGHT times

Good thing he didn't make the same mistake in 2014 with Parker

Seahawks playcall wasn't even bad. Results-based thinking is often counterproductive. The people who thought pulling TD was a bad call have largely piped down seeing him try to guard 3pt shooters from last-second inbounds plays. Maybe Wilson or the receiver didn't execute, but the call was fine. I might have run the ball and then called a no-huddle slant route on 3rd, but the WR was open for the split second he should've been and the DB just made an all time great read. Anomalies happen. It's like getting a bad beat on the river in poker. If you always make the right call and it doesn't work in one big moment, that doesn't mean you made the wrong call. The guys who always make the right call no matter the result come out ahead in the long haul.

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?

(a) Seahawks had already won the Superbowl the previous year. This was just icing on the cake.
(b) They weren't winning yet when they got intercepted. They still had to score.

What happened to the Spurs was much worse.

Fortunately, they redeemed themselves.

The Seahawks were NOT winning when they lost. It is kind of like taking two free throws to win a game and missing both.

Different from winning with 6 seconds left and then losing. They were losing with 26 seconds left and they didn't execute.

6 easily.

Seahawks was one bad play, one mistake.

6 was a series unfortunate events and lots of stupid ing mistakes one after another. It was a complete chokejob

Doesn't matter. They have the best back in the game, 1 yard away from the end zone, one time out and momentum. At that juncture, it was their game to lose, and they did.

Seahawks playcall directly resulting in a botched le was WAY worse than benching Tim leading to a lucky bounce leading to a lucky corner 3.

there was a LOT more to it than "benching" Duncan in the last play

Thanks to Parker, we were up 5 with 50 secs to go. Missed free throws, missed rebounds, turnovers... WORST CHOKEJOB IN SPORTS HISTORY

Let's not forget Tony getting outplayed by Mario Chalmers in games 6 and 7

too bad your post is in a new page

And yeah, TP choked in game 6 and 7

You said there was a lot of factors that went into us losing 2013. Tony getting outplayed by Chalmers is one of them.

[Chinook]

Six was more like the Mile High Miracle that by Ravens hung on Denver -- a mistake, sure, but also just a straight up good play by the other team. The Seahawks play was more like Ginobili fouling Dirk in 06 -- it was a bad play, but maybe you can see the reasoning, never mind, bad play.

you're off topic.

the thread is about the events that led to the chokejob in 6 as compared to seahawks chokejob.

Parker did NOT get outplayed by anyone in the last minute of the game. On the contrary. Parker carried us to the finish line. Everyone else crashed the bus. EPIC CHOKEJOB

Seahawks... Spurs had a chance to rebuttal in game 7.

You stated that six was a result of a numerous factors. You listed a few of them but neglected Tony's poor play. I'm just reminding you. 26% shooting in game 6 from your first option sounds like a credible reason. An MVP candidate getting outplayed by Mario Chalmers is definitely notable as far as chokejobs go.

[hater]

Except he didn't. He took us home. Too bad we crashed the bus with our stupid turnovers, missed rebounds and missed FTs

How many teams have won a le with their first option shooting sub-26% in the final two games? How many MVP candidates have gotten outplayed by Mario Chalmers? It's a credit to the rest of the team(Duncan, Leonard, Green) that they were able to take the defending champs to seven games with their point guard playing so terrible.
