Bevell made that call-CONFIRMED

[Anthony!]

Wilson still should have changed it or chucked it into the cheap seats. He won't become elite until he is willing to stand up to an asinine play call.

I agree 110% he should've chucked it or called a timeout to talk about it. No one would have been the wiser.

A true, elite QB would have done everything he could to win the game..... That includes NOT running a completely boneheaded play. Sorry but RW takes a lot of this blame. Don't even try to argue against it.

PC should have been listening in and put the brakes on the play as well. So put him on the dumbass list as well.

no need to argue, your wrong.

Nothing wrong with the call. Seattles identity isn't about minimizing turnovers and smashmouth. It's about slants...So in critical times they throw slants.

LOL

Bevell blaming Lockette.

He's not wrong

Considering he choose to throw to Ricardo Lockette rather then giving the ball to Beast yeah he is.

I'm not defending the play call, but Lockett could have done better

I bet Bevel will resign in a few days. NLT Friday once they work out his severance package. He'll say stuff like its important that the team be able to move on from this yada yada yada. And he think this is the best for everyone involved blah, blah blah.

But be certain it will be Pete who handed him the paper and pen. Pete will have a ton of great things to say about him but the message is sent.

If players have to compete everyday, so do coaches. It was a complete FAIL today but lets face it, the Offense has needed an upgrade at the OC position for a while.

If Russ changes the play or calls a timeout and they still go on to lose, then Bevell blames him and the media makes Russell out to be a diva that does things his way.

 

[MrThortan]

People have been complaining about Bevell for a while now. He has made many wtf calls. This was just the last straw for a lot of fans.

 

[rideaducati]

Bevell called a pass play with the vikings in field goal range against the Saints in the playoffs with Adrian Peterson in his prime and lost that game too. Bevell needs to go...NOW.

Third year QB's do not check out of a play directed to them if the coach says not to, Farve or Manning could get away with it, Wilson is the kind of guy that follows directions. He has not been given that flexibility in this offense.

What do you want Wilson to do? Check into a run when the whole defense is at the LOS? it's the coaches job to call the plays, Wilson isn't going to audible for the sake of audibling

 

[IrishNW]

That was a career changing play call for Bevell

 

[theascension]

I'm just amazed he calls out Lockette when Pete and Wilson put blame on themselves.

I'm not. I've had a boss like that before.

More needs to be said about Wilson, he wasn't big time when he needed to be.

Not saying he's never been big time but he wasn't tonight.

 

[HawkEye]

I appreciate Bevell's guts and honesty. He is kinda right about Lockette, but Lockette probably shouldn't be the guy you turn to in that situation in the first place.

Still a historically bad play call. He would probably help himself if he issued an apology for it.

This.

If he wants to regain confidence in the players, he should own his mistake.

 

[seahawks08]

I don't understand why people are obsessed with this last play. I know it sucks. We were 24 14, if our defense could not hold up, there is nothing we could have done. Its about finishing, but come on, we had this game. We just needed to hold them to 3 points and we could not. We will learn from this and make adjustments. Thankful for the season, moving on, ready for the next one.

The whole night or the last play?

 

[gabel]

Russel Wilson thru the ball to the wrong guy. It's on him and it will stay with him for his career. We can get mad at what ever scape goat we chose but the bottom line is that ball should never have been thrown. And in the end Wilson will own it.

No. The bottom line is THE PLAY SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN CALLED
