Every time i see anything related to XLIX i still dont get why they didnt atleast try to hand it to lynch one more time after he gained like 6 or 7 yards the play before.HawkFan72":3gvucv5p said:Yeah, it still pisses me off.

Beast had a body on him but the left side of the middle was open for Russ to bolt in ..The first SB pissed me off more than this one.Largent80":3qv7tgtn said:Look how open Beast is heading to the left corner. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

That pisses me off too. The first priority should be scoring and winning the damn game. Not chewing clock. I dont care if brady has 1 full minute left the best bet is hes not gonna score on that defense in that situation. They could have lierally played soft zone prevent to force them to go underneath and burn clock themselves if they scored. :x :x :xI truly will never understand the "leave too much time on the clock" argument. They hiked that ball with 26 seconds left. Give it Marshawn, take four seconds off the clock and take the lead. Then kick it to the five yardline (they won't call fair catch to save the time). Probably another six seconds comes off the clock. If Tom Brady can take it and go 30 yards (assuming the kickoff return gets all the way out to the 30 yard line) in 16 seconds (yes I realize they had two timeouts) against what is supposed to be an all world defense then you tip your cap and go at it in overtime.
So so so damn frustrating
Kearse had a huge drop as well in the fourth. Blowing the ten point lead was also terrible, but despite all that they still were on the 1 yard line and threw a pick. Thats all everyone will remember.SoulfishHawk":3u7scjn4 said:Seeing it right in front of me in my seat, still gives me nightmares. But, that play isn't the reason they lost the game imo. They gave up a 10 point lead as well. Plus, losing Lane and Avril was massive.

I still maintain throwing it was a fine play....but why oh why a slant to Lockette.
Russ has proven he has trouble accurately throwing it - and why Lockette?
It was a clear case of the playcaller trying to be too smart "they will never see it coming".
