I still would have given it to beastmode...but it wasn't the worst call of all time.
Wasn't any more gutsy than sean payton's onside kick potentially going wrong or even wilson's pass with 6 seconds left in the half which could have gone incomplete and left the seahawks down 7 into the 2nd half.
Actually the halftime play was the smartest call they made. 6 seconds left Wilson threw it from snap in 1.8 seconds and it reached the reciever with 2 seconds remaining. even if that was incomplete they would have still been able to kick a fieldgoal. Seriously the worst that could have happened on that play was a pick with a half remaining and the ball first.
Not giving it to Beastmode was the most terrible call of the year based upon how the game was going. Lynch was running it down their throats the whole game. Other then when Wilfork was unguarded and stopped him at the line Lynch would run over 2 people and make, would should have been a no gain into, 3 yards. Any time he got a hole and got to the line untouched he would break a 6+ yarder. 26 seconds a timeout and BeastMode means at least run a draw to catch them looking don't try and throw a quick pass from your quarterback who was getting lucky the whole game.
Huge Seahawks fan here but Wilson played awful he had so many balls that receivers had to make amazing plays just to give him completions. None of Seattle's passes were getting them anything. The kid that no one even knew was doing things the Calvin does for Stafford all season. A ground game that was tearing up the Pats or a passing game that was getting lucky all game long. Some time that luck has to run out. Seahawks left an unused timeout 23 seconds left on the board and 2 downs to take that risky play. It was heartbreaking to watch Seatlle's season end like that.
The worst part of it is its going to be another 10 years before they make it back there. Because now they have to rebuild another team. =( If they end up keeping Lynch and Wilson their going to be monetarily stressed to sign the players they want/need to keep a strong team. Lynch is going to most likely want 26mil (currently 7mil) a season and Wilson is going to get at least 10-16mil (currently 700k) on top of Sherman and Thomas' huge deals (highest paid players at their positions). I just don't see them getting back to the Superbowl next year.
The sadness is real for Seattle fans =(
