You don't read the defense on that play, you throw it where the receiver should be. The point is to catch the defense before they can react. The OC is to blame here.
Yea the coach called a bad play, but Wilson led the receiver too much and threw an interception. If he caught the ball and the Hawks won, the call would have been a badass call and everybody would be saying the coach has balls to call a play like that.
Knotcher-free zone for the next eight months. Has he been around since last night? Anyone got proof of life?
I actually had to turn the game off in 3Q, kiddies were not having it. The seahawks looked like the were going to run away with the game. oh well....now I can say next year has arrived for my Giants.
I have to give that Butler guy huge credit. He anticipated what was coming and jumped the route. That ball was right in the receiver's hands and Butler snatched it away. Great play. I can't fault the play call itself, it has proven itself effective in goal line situations all year, this particular time it was overcome by a smart, quick thinking defensive player who made the big play in the big game at the big moment.
Wilson didn't even mention God once in his post game. What a fraud. He goes on and on about God steering his team to wins. And now?
I wondered how Lane got hurt, yowza. That was a huge injury, Brady picked on his replacement the rest of the game.
I don' get how Brady was MVP. He threw interceptions, one that took points right away from the team. He was the scapegoat until Butler saved the day.
Most won't accept it, but Pete Carrolls explanation of throwing it at least once makes sense about needing to stop the clock.
Yeah, as a hawks fan, it's a tough one, but his explanation makes sense. There are two huge stats that are relevant here: ESPN: of 109 pass attempts this year from the 1-yard line, 61% converted for TD and Russell's was the only INT all year. The Patriots faced 6 runs from their 1 yard line this year. They allowed 5 TDs. Neither play is a gimme, no doubt, and both plays are statistically in the hawk's favor. But I would still think that 3 attempts at a run are far more risk-averse (and based on the above stats, more probable to end in a TD).
