Idiot ... he needed one yard. Not 5, not 10, not 20. Yes, it's in the red zone. Yes, yardage is harder to gain. But again, he needed one yard. And again, he could have had 3 chances.A) the red zone is 20 yards. Lynch needed just one.Hot read passes actually have to be thrown below the gut so the pass is incomplete if not caught as opposed to getting intercepted. Wilson threw too high and blew the S-Bowl. I don't blame Carroll. It's on Wilson.........
One of the best S-Bowls evah!!!
Why can't you blame them both?
Why can't people give the Pats credit for a heads up play. It's funny because there was absolutely no guarantees that the running back would have scored, having a less than 50% success rating in the red zone. Lol. I think the Pats were ready to stuff him. That's why the pass play was called, but our guy scoped it out and was ready, came in and intercepted the ball. THAT was no guarantee either. That was pure skill.
B) he could have had 3 chances, which means even a 33% success rate would have won the Super Bowl for the Seahawks.
He has a less than 50% success rating in the red zone. I think he is rated at 41%. That would mean he had LESS THAN 50% chance of getting it in there. When you are within 5-10 yards of the end zone, it's not that easy to knock one in there. They're waiting for you.
The smart play would have been to give him the ball.
