SB Sunday Is Here.

Over the season Seattle ran Lynch five times from the one. He was stopped four of the five.

Pats were jammed in to shut down the run.

If kearse gets one more foot to the left? It's an easy touchdown.  And everybody celebrates the brilliance of Seattle and Wilson for catching the patriot defense by surprise.  ESPN spends 40 minutes licking their jocks this morning for the gutsy call.

Did they not blow them for nearly an hour straight for hitting the very low percentage TD pass at the end of the first half? Only an idiot does that. 99% of the time you kick a field goal in that position. But they were amazing and daring and brilliant for throwing it up there instead. 

The throw was a good call. Caught NE in a bad spot. Kearse does his job and the talk today is about how stupid the patriots were for not being prepared for Wilson and the dynamic Seahawk offense. 

Yeah you run him on third down and maybe fourth. But it wasn't a bad play at all. Pretty smart actually. Just wasn't executed. Kearse didn't fight.  Cost them the game.

Don't necessarily think there is a "bad call" from that position on the field save either a slow developing one in the backfield (similar to a draw) or a wide play that requires precision blocking. But for me you live and die with Lynch just as you would expect Kobi or  MJ to take the last shot.

Just heard Sal Paloantonionododio on Cowherd.  He interviewed 3 New England DB's who all said they were practicing against that very play as late as Thursday.

I hear they had some high quality HD cameras in those trees.

I call horseshit!
How often has Seattle attempted, used or even required that particular pass? And unless N.E. had a mole or camera at practices, why would they practice defending said little, if ever used play?
The mystique is that Bilicheck (like Saban) covers all bases. Well that would explain why west Alabama was Johnny on the spot rather than being gored and trampled by Lynch.

i didn't get why west Al didn't get MVP. He's the mofo that won the game.

I would have voted for Katy Perry.

[WiregrassTiger]

I would have voted for Katy Perry.

I would've preferred to have her as a halftime snack. WT be getting all up in that Katy.

I would have voted for Katy Perry.

I voted for her all of halftime.

It was a bad call IMO.  Could it have worked, yes. 

The Pats allowed opponents to score 81% of the time in power situations (runs on 3rd/4th & <2, or w/i 2 yds of goalline). Dead last in NFL.

SEA was second in the league in power situations, getting stuffed just 17% of the time. Lynch converted 17 of 20 3rd/4ths & short this year.

How many of those 3rd/4th and shorts were on the goal line?


That being said, I still would have given it to him at least once!

Maybe they planned too but he was just there so the NFL would not fine him.

Surprise call...yes. It's iust NOT the play I would have called. I would have called something along the lines of Cam to Lutzie 2010 IRON BOWL w/play action. That is all.
