The reason I was so upset at the call is because I was sure we were going to run the ball. But they got too cute.
I understand their reasoning, time was short and there was only 1 time out. You have 3 more downs to win the game. So you go with a pass play on 2nd down because if you have to you can throw it out of the EZ and stop the clock. A running play gets stopped and you are forced to use a time out. If it gets stopped again (it's possible but unlikely), the clock runs out before you can make use of 4th down.
So I see the reasoning, but I disagree with it.
Worst call ever? I'm to the point where I can't decide any more. I wish Russell would have seen Butler and threw it away. I wish Lockette would have gotten there faster. But most of all I wish they would have handed it to Marshawn.
So for now, yes, worst call ever. When we win SuperB Owl 50, that will move it to the back burner.
The upside is this, the team is young, we will have our Front Office and players around for a long time so we are going to see more success. But it's going to take a while to get over the hurt.
Honestly, I want to cry sometimes, but I try to keep my head up and be proud of what this team has accomplished. Something that has NEVER been done in Seahawks history.
