Shocked at how terrible Seattle played that last play on offense....how they don't let Lynch run again and again on the 1 freaking yard line is beyond me....
Pete Carroll is a moron

NE 30. Seattle 23
No horse in race but these injuries in Seattle secondary may come into play today.
Question the call all you want. If it succeeded it would have been a genius call with everyone expecting a Marshawn Lynch carry. It wasn't the call, it was the play by Butler. He had to read the play, fight the pick ,jump the route , and hold onto the ball. Merely knocking it down wasn't good enough. That was one of the greatest plays in sports history.
You can't be serious. It was a debatable and questionable call that in hindsight opens him up to ridicule, but show me the outrage had it succeeded. You think it would have been "Pete Carroll made one of the worst calls in history as the Hawks won the Super Bowl."? Please. The entire media dialogue would have shifted to" Pete Carroll taught the master what it's like to coach in the big moments. With guru Belichick lined up to expect the Beast Mode, Carroll did the unexpected."I wouldn't be shocked if Carroll loses his job over it.
He made a great INT but that doesn't excuse the fact that it was the worst call in the history of football. Will he lose his job? No, but it wouldn't shock me if he did. Losing the confidence of your players can sink your career. Like I said before, he might not have and it was just initial emotional response, but to have your players openly criticizing the call YOU made in the locker room to lose the Super Bowl is not really a great way to build confidence.You can't be serious.

Stop vilifying Carroll. Start glorifying Butler.
It was a great individual play, and a HORRIBLE call. Butler guessed right based on what he had studied on film. If the hawks had tweaked that play, and had the WR Jab step in on the slant then broke out side, you had easiest pitch and catch ever as there was going to be no safety help.Question the call all you want.
