At least the other team didnt know what the play was going to be even before the snap like the Patriots did.
No, it was not worse.

against Tom Brady, with there slot corner injured...
Yes, we will continue to ignore that.
If you want to talk about leaving Marcus Burley inactive, against Edelman and Amendola. That would be valid.

I still wake up at night and think about how they stole defeat from the jaws of victory, and it was long time ago. Damn still angry about that stupidity that wrecked a potential dynasty and created discord and discension, still not entirely recovered from.
Speaking with many other fans Bevell was a freaking idiot and refused to take any responsibility for his galactic stupidity, blaming others for his absolutely stupid calll. Pete needed to can his ass for that but didn’t and the wound festered.
Not even freaking close to being as stupid a play call, just dumb clock management. Dallas needed to be just a bit smarter, but that is nothing new. That SB disastrous play was a travesty, that hurt more than the team. ukeface: :177692:

I see why so many want to blame one play, and that's fine. It just took me a long time to step back and realize there was a lot more to it than just that play. It has always been assumed that 100 percent he would have scored on a handoff.
It was other people who kept reminding me that we did have a 10 point lead and couldn't play add on.
And you're right, that was one hell of a game.

It was a lot, lot worse - you say the Patriots knew it was coming, and they did. They still needed an also inhuman break on the ball from Butler AND a badly placed pass from Russ to come away with the ball.
If they knew it was coming and still just barely even got there, it was a good call.
A quarterback draw with 14 seconds to go and no timeouts?
Yeah. That's worse, no two ways about it. If you're judging it based on the actual decision-making process, then it's worse.

SoulfishHawk":63d2ypvg said:100 percent on Russ? Snap decision? um........ok
So, he was the one who called the play?
he was the one with a pathetic block attempt?
he was the one who blew a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter?
He was the one who dropped a pass that would have put them in FG range and let them play add on?
And yes, the throw was high.
Dear god, it just never ends.........
I wonder if some people actually even watch the games.

There is a TON of BLAME and CREDIT to give for how that SB ended.
Credit:
Tom Brady scored 14 unanswered points in the 4th quarter
Blame:
Defense allowed Tom Brady to take back the lead. As much as they yammered about accountability of "the play" not once have I seen any of the LOB publicly make a statement about giving up a 10 point lead.
Credit:
Browner saw the lame play and manhandled Kearse
Blame:
Kearse didn't execute. Oh and on a previous drive he dropped a crucial 3rd down pass that would've allowed the team to burn clock and take a knee. Btw for every miracle catch Kearse has made there's about 4-5 other bad plays he made that put them in the situation of needing the miracle to begin with. i.e. NFCCG Packers Miracle OT catch, but all 4 INTs in that game were targeting him.
Credit:
Bil Belichick Coaching NFL GOAT saw the time ticking and did NOT call timeout essentially FORCING a pass play. He also put in Butler at that time who supposedly practiced for this play.
Blame:
Bevell/Carroll just saw Beast get to the 1 after a a 15 or 20 yard run and rather than stick with the team mantra and persona "we do what we do, everyone knows what we do, but we're gonna do it anyway, try and stop us". They got cute and tried to do something a little unexpected (yet somewhat expected) and called that play that didn't even disguise the option of Marshawn being involved as a runner.
Credit:
Butler saw the play and whooped Lockette
Blame:
Lockette probably has the least blame in this situation. RW however did have a chance to audible out, make a better pass, or perhaps even throw to someone else wide open like Marshawn or the safer corner pass that either goes out or gets caught, but hey lets put it all on your #3 or #4 receiver...
