Emotionally, that seems to be the fair response. After all, it seems likely we would have scored had we handed the ball to Marshawn near the goal line. Of course, there's the stats that prove that would not have been a guarantee though, so we truly will never know what the outcome would have been had they handed it off. It seems like we know the outcome but we really don't.
Nothing in life is a guarantee other than death and taxes, but I would have bet my house on Lynch scoring in that situation. If he doesn't, then we don't deserve to win, flat out. I hate that we lost because of an intellectual pissing contest trying to be won by a guy who is a marginal OC at best and that couldn't recognize that the Pats do their fair share of "mid-week scouting". Well that and trying to pass to a guy who is a #4/5 WR in the league that hangs out with Colin Kaepernick during the offseason. Personally and I know I'm in the minority but, I still think there's a case for defensive PI that could have been called there, but the Lockette would have actually had to step up and make a real attempt on the ball.
Going to miss Beastmode, I still remember the Beastquake run did for this team and myself personally. That run is what made my wife to be at the time a Hawks fan. The man is a Seahawks legend and I'm still holding out hope that he will come back, but it's wishful thinking at this point. That cap hit for 2016 is crazy and I doubt he will be back on anything close to a discount. This one of things I hate about the NFL, players don't stick around nearly as long as the NBA or MLB, it's just too physically demanding of a game.
