Seattle didn't run out of timeouts...They had one left.  They used the 2nd TO after the long Kearse catch.  After the Lynch run and NE didn't use TO's (like would be expected), Seattle shifted to wanting to bleed clock to prevent NE from having time to score if SEA scored a TD.  Again - the D was done and an OT strongly favored NE at that point.  2nd down was the prime spot to throw against a goal line D and still keep their one TO and have 2 plays left it the pass play didn't work.

And walked right into what Belichick wanted them to do by not running the football with Lynch after getting 3 yards and moving the pile on first down. This isn't a results oriented situation. They simply outsmarted themselves.

The impact of talent over coaching is severely underrated by the fans. I could list a million examples starting with Belichich. Anyone even attempting to judge Callahan's offensive ability from last s

He got us Ward, so it was brilliant strategy!

No - their defense was depleted and gassed.  They were playing their 4th string CB and a FB on the DL.......NE had scored 14 points in the 4th and were humming.  They wanted to bleed the clock to not let NE have the ball with a chance to score.

 

As for defenses knowing plays, you don't think they'd have been prepared for a goal line run play?  At that point, there's little mystery to what plays you can run especially with the time situation.

 

It's a classic case of one team executing the play better than the other team and in this case - one guy losing his assignment.

They sure weren't ready for the run when they got pushed back for an easy 3 yards on first down...

There's simply no way passing with Marshawn Lynch and a TO on second down is the correct call from the 2 yard line. I simply don't care how you twist the logic. 

You didn't even have the facts right on the situation.  Passing on 2nd down made perfect sense.  Run there and fail and you have to burn the TO and are predicated to pass only.

 

Even prior in the game, Lynch got stopped for no gain on 3rd down against a goal line defense so the premise a run was a sure TD isn't based in fact.  If anyone is twisting logic here, it's not me......

It wasn't a goal line defense either was it......

Everyone in the world but one person thinks they should have run it.

There's plenty of people that think the call was fine.....now most dullards of course don't get it but that's your problem.....

Man, lot of hardcore Callahan love on the board all of a sudden.  I'll watch what I say about him and his prospects in the future...


Japan, WTH? send us a message if you’re being held hostage.

Annie Duke wrote about this play in her book "Thinking in Bets"

I really hope you didn’t spend your time reading an Annie Duke book lol.

 

She is Grade A certified retarded. Her and her brother should both be in prison.

It was just a horrible set of plays. They got to the one and a half. They were closer than I thought. You get up on the line run it down to 35 seconds and run the ball if you don't get it you get back on the line and QB sneak if you got closer or run the hurry up. Then you still have a TO and 4th down. No way you take it out of Lynch's hands. Not a chance.
