Bimonthly reminder that this actually happened.
Those madmen actually passed it, and this happened.
>tfw you were alive to witness it
Could've been a touchdown. Lynch might have gotten stuffed.
>B-b-but they hadn't stopped Lynch all game!
A coin landing on heads 9 times in a row doesn't mean that it's going to land on heads 10 times in a row.
Lost 50 bucks cause of this shit
Literally the call in the history of anything
>>68239641
Im happy this fuck is now irrelevant
>reminder that the Seahawks caused green bay to perform the greatest choke in history
>Lynch averages 4 yards after contact
>2nd and less than a yard
>"Might as well run slants"
I'm over it now, but it was tough to watch such an exciting football game end with a shitty play call. If this had happened on 3rd down, I wouldn't have even been mad about it.
>>68239105
Thanks for reminding me again that the pats lost to the broncos this year, I had almost forgotten
>>68239610
Yea but it wouldn't have been stupid like a 1 yard interception.
If Lynch had gotten stuffed we'd be celebrating great GL defense rather than a blunder of a call.
Pete never played Madden. FB dive on the one yard line always works.
>>68239896
>Yea but it wouldn't have been stupid like a 1 yard interception.
Maybe Lynch would have fumbled the ball away. Would've been just as stupid.
Had it been a touchdown pass, Carroll might be hailed as a maverick genius.
The true stupidity wasn't the interception, it was the Seahawks defense jumping the line on the ensuing Patriots possession that allowed Brady to take a knee instead of needing to run a play at the 1. Then they chimped out on the next play and made themselves look stupid.
Had they not jumped the line, maybe they would have gotten the ball back.
it gets better every time
>>68239610
The previous drive they ran it with Lynch on a 3rd and 1, he got dropped at the line.
They had to punt and Edelman scored a touchdown.
>>68239105
>If he had just extended his arms a few inches further, he would have beaten him to it for the game-winning touchdown
>>68239105
why didn't butler take a knee in the endzone and get a touchback here? caught up in the heat of the moment?
>>68241559
Because it literally did not matter
>>68242000
i just find it odd, since he was falling into the endzone and if he just let gravity do the rest the play is over. instead, he consciously changes direction to fight for yards. i guess it's like when you have an orgasm and your mind goes completely blank.
>>68239714
and then choked in the superb owl so it meant nothing
don't forget that Hightower had a huge play right before this. if he hadn't stopped marshawn lynch the pats would've lost.
Reminder that passing it was not the wrong call.
>>68239816
>>68239610
>>68242130
They had literally just stopped Lynch, and they did it several times in the 4th quarter in short yardage situations. Carroll had good reason to try something different, and it would have worked if Wilson had thrown it low, or if Browner didn't blow up the pick man, or if butler hadn't been coached on this exact play before. It was a perfect storm
>>68242203
it would have worked if they didn't call a slant route on the 1 yard line. carroll would literally have been better off if he had an ask madden button.
>>68242230
>it would have worked if they didn't call a slant route on the 1 yard line
not true. in fact, that was the first time all year that a pass had been intercepted on a 1 yard throw. i kid you not. i think people seem to forget the context of the play
they had 25 seconds left, with 1 timeout. if they ran it, they risked losing precious clock time if they had gotten stopped. and you better believe BB and the pats had practice goal-line stops against running backs every day for 2 weeks straight because they were playing marshawn fucking lynch.
so in hind-sight, it really wasn't a bad play. if they threw it, worst case scenario was that it missed and the clock was stopped right away and it gave them 2 more chances, considering how successful the play had been in the league that year
>>68242320
this holy shit this why is there exactly one poster on /sp/ who gets this
>>68242320
no, worst case scenario was it would be fucking intercepted and the game would be over. if you're going to pass on the 1 yard line you call a fade not a slant. carroll was literally trying to meme on the pats.
>>68242320
not to mention clock run-offs that occur with 10 seconds or under left. the seahawks could have lost on the 3rd down in such a case which isn't out of the question (see: saints/seahawks divisional playoff game the year prior)
>>68239831

>Lions lose to Cowboys due to fumble
>Cowboys lose to the Packers because of one missed catch

One play is all it takes.
>>68242485
>lions lose to cowboys due to refball
>cowboys lose to packers due to refball
>packers lose to seahawks because they don't show up at all the second half

Sure, sometimes the difference is between one good play and one bad play. However, such a difference was never on display that year.
>>68242530
>lions lose to cowboys
holy shit that was rough
>two handed jersey grab pass interference
>one second before ball arrives

>>68242320
Exactly. Base Bill was prepared for Marshawn. If they tried running him in he would've been stopped.
Tom washed up Brady
why wasn't this defensive pass interference?
>>68245310
>within 5 yards of line of scrimmage
>butler was playing the ball, not the man
>>68242346
>worst case scenario was it would be fucking intercepted and the game would be over.
The game wasn't over until the Seahawks D jumped the line. If they hadn't done that, the Patriots would have been forced to run a play since you can't really take a knee when you're running a play from your own 1-yard line.
>the day the broship meme died
that was both a fantastic and sad day somehow.
>>68245437
the game was over. a field goal wouldn't have even been enough to tie the game, and they had maybe a 1 in 500 chance of scoring a TD. they knew it was over and that's why they chimped out.
who /stilllaughing/ here?
>people justifying a slant to the Seahawks 4th best receiver where Kearse has to beat Brandon Browner
>throwing into the middle of the field with traffic when your QB is 5'10
>previous two of Wilson's interception came from slants
You can justify that they need to pass, but the slant to Lockette is a complete brain fart. Pete Carroll and Bevell screwed up. They knew it. The entire final drive was a fuck up before the miracle catch and then the pick.
They get out to the Patriots side of the field. And they are throwing bombs. They needed to mix in some runs. There was a lot of time on the clock for Brady to come back and scroe another TD. Like how they did against the Packers. There was like two minutes, a minute left. They were still running the ball.
So then the miracle catch happens. They call time out. This time out was wasted. Pete Carroll said they were looking to see if the catch would stand but they should have hurried to the line and called a play.
The first play was a good one. Lynch gets it to the one yard line. So they decide to throw. Not a fade. No play action. They don't use the two biggest offensive strengths that got them to the Super Bowl, Lynch's bruising running and Wilson's mobility.
Right call, bad execution. Carroll will forever be blamed for such a mediocre pass.
I've never actually noticed it because it's a different angle than I usually see but Browner is getting away with holding.
I know Kearse is just trying to pick Butler and I know the Seahawks do it constantly, just saying I hadn't noticed it before.

>if not for that one retard Pete Carroll moment, Peyton Manning would have actually ended his career having won 'the debate' vs Brady
It's a shame but those 4 Brady superbowl wins are just too impressive for Peyton to claim he had a better career.
>>68245943
if you count super bowl wins in the debate then Brady had already won since he had two more than Manning.
>>68239105
this was the greatest upset in sports history
>>68246021
>if you count super bowl wins in the debate
Why would you not? Who would be retarded enough to dismiss superbowl wins when comparing the careers of quarterbacks?
>>68246090
because dan marino exists. and even before he beat the Seahawks, he had more wins than Manning, and even if he never beat the Seahawks and Manning still beat Panthers, Brady has more wins.
>>68245469
They chimped out after they jumped the line because at that point, the game was over.
The game wasn't over after the interception because all they had to do was force three incomplete passes or a safety to get the ball back with enough time to run a play or two. Instead, a Seahawks player jumped offsides and gave Brady the room he needed to take a knee.
>>68246298
what? there's no way the pats would have passed in that situation. the pats got the ball back with 20 seconds left, so yes the interception is what ended the game.
>>68242045
I guessed that he didn't know exactly where he caught the thing, and why risk it? It wasn't the best call obviously, but yea I can see where he was coming from.
>>68246298
Why the fuck would the Pats pass in that situation
Brady is one of the best sneaking QBs in the game he'd just dive forward and end it
>>68240004
They had a timeout. They should have fuckin ran it.
>>68239610
plays in the nfl aren't independent of the previous plays. obvious counter example is suppose Lynch gets injured on the 9th play and Trent Richardson was his backup. Would the running game have the same probability of success on the 10th play as if Lynch were still there? And that's an extremely simple example, and we know the NFL has far more variables on every single play than what I just presented.
in short: kys my good man
Why does no one ever mentions that Wilson could have run the ball as well?
It would have been unexpected and he is one of the best rushing QBs in the game.
>>68245943
nigga Brady played like God himself in at least 3 of those owls, especially when the games were on the line.
Peyton did jackshit in his victories, and the one Owl he played well he lost and gave up the game winning int vs the saints.
>>68246050
That's still 18-1.
Shame the Patriots are irrelevant again.
>>68249441
How so?
next season is our year
>>68239714
DAMAGE CONTROL
>>68241559
>>68242045
Where Butler catches the ball is nebulous at best. It looks like he catches it in the green and his momentum from colliding with Lockette pushes him back into the endzone. He likely took it out of the endzone and dove down to ensure there was no chance of it being ruled a safety.
It probably would not have been ruled a safety but no reason to take that chance.
>people still talking about SB49
Man. SB50 was shit.
>>68251418
48 was a dogshit blowout too so it's the best and most memorable one in the last couple years.
>>68246340
>>68246633
There's not a lot of room for error when you're pinned on your own 1-yard line. Say Brady tries a sneak and gets pushed back into the end zone. Say he tries a sneak and gets stopped back at the 1 and the Seahawks take their final timeout.
The game isn't over until the final second ticks off the clock. The Seahawks jumped the line and allowed Brady to take a knee instead of forcing a play.
>>68245943
yeah too bad the Pats are known to have cheated so everything they did is tainted and the words Brady-Pats-Cheating will forever be linked

Dez did not complete the catch. Why do you people have such trouble understanding this? It's a stupid rule but I knew the rule immediately, I called it when the play happened it would be overruled
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oSgdm94CAE
>>68239105
This had to be a political decision to make the manlet Wilson the hero of the game, and to snub grumpy Lynch. On top of this the play and throw are literally terrible.
>>68239714
I'm not even a fan of either team but it kinda hurts to watch and remember that.
>>68239621
FIFTY. WHOLE. DOLLARS. UNDERAGE CONFIRMED.
>>68259030
well I am a fan of one of those teams and yeah, it really fucking hurts.
Why didn't Rustle just throw it where only his guy could catch it? He's supposed to be the best, most clutch QB in the league.

>>68246972
>unexpected
>bill Belichick isn't going to expect one of the best running qbs to run in a goal line scenario
>>68251565
they were already taking a knee you idiot, watch the game again. why the hell would brady do a sneak when there is ten yards to gain. were you dropped on your head as a baby?
>>68251230
a safety would have been in the pats favor you idiot. you can't call a safety on the defense, the defense are the ones who force a safety. and it would have only been a safety if the ball went out of bounds in the endzone. were you dropped on your head as a baby?
>>68239105
I like how neither the guy throwing nor the guy that is trying to get the ball are faking anything.
They instantly turn to each other.
Its 100% obvious instantly what is going to happen for the defender.
There is 0% chance of this working.
None at all.
>>68251899
fuckin cheating faggots
>>68242230
It was a pick route, literally how they scored most of their points that game bud
>>68265791
it's the same shit, a play designed for one receiver in particular. they picked the wrong receiver and they picked the wrong time.
