Remember at the half when they threw a TD when everyone was saying it was stupid not to just go for the FG given the time on the clock? That worked out well for them and they looked like they were geniuses. Immediately following that everyone was talking about how Caroll had huge balls.I still think Wilson wanted the TD for MVP. No other explanation.
I agree. The play call was bad but I do see the angle he was after.Remember at the half when they threw a TD when everyone was saying it was stupid not to just go for the FG given the time on the clock?

I think Caroll's explanation is the simple truth. They saw the bunch formation and thought they'd catch the Pats off guard. They didn't. It was probably one of the worse play calls in the history of the game but just look at the Packers for an example of how shitty play calling can cost you. I don't think there's a good reason for the play call - I don't think there was a conspiracy not to give it to Lynch since they might have to pay him a billion dollar if (when?) he scores. I think it was just shitty play calling and arrogance that cost them.
Pretty much this.I don't see why he would "save" Lynch for an easy walk in touchdown on a pass defense look that was clearly never going to happen. 3 chances to punch it in...go with the horse you rode to the Super Bowl all 3 times. If you lose the game on downs so be it.

UMass Amherst, eh?My campus is going to be a fucking mess whether they close it or not. Will be many a burnt couch in the snow.
Sadly you have to admit there is something to this statement. Say Seattle hands the ball off and Lynch scores the winning TD...it would have been the 3rd straight Super Bowl for Brady handing a lead off to his defense with under 5 minutes to play only to watch them give up the game losing TD drive. Now all of their Super Bowls have been decided by 4 points or less so a few of the other wins could have gone the other way too but it's not false to say he's a couple better defensive stands away from 6 rings.This just in......T. Brady best QB ever. A defense finally hung in there and cemented a win instead of giving the game away!!
To be fair...11 TD's and 0 picks in 4 Super Bowls with 4-0 record is pretty ridiculous.Tom Brady could go on to win 7 rings and people would still find excuses to suckle at the teet of nostalgia for Joe Montana or anyone else until they are old and retired and it becomes an ESPN history classics series.
Saw em both play. Montana was better. I mean christ man. 4-0 in SB's. No picks. and what? 10 TDs? He was what Brady is now pretty much. He did have a better cast around him though.Tom Brady could go on to win 7 rings and people would still find excuses to suckle at the teet of nostalgia for Joe Montana or anyone else until they are old and retired and it becomes an ESPN history classics series.
