1. Our O failed to score so many times, only one more 6+1 and all of this wouldn't be talked about.
2. The D was pretty banged up.

Lynch was 1 for 5 in scoring from 1 yard out this year.
not that obvious

Yes a safer bet but not a guarantee. My vote was it's on Lockette who is known for being tough and fast but got outdone by a rookie undrafted corner who saw only 14 plays in his last game. No excuse if you want to step up as a receiver you run route all out knowing YOU WILL GET HIT.

1) to call a passing play on 2nd down with 26 seconds left and only 1 time out was good clock management. It ensured the ability to run three plays instead of only two running plays before time ran out.
2) the actual type of play call can be debated ad nauseum. However, in general a quick slant is a low risk pass. Maybe the personnel choice was a poor decision but other than that how often does that play end in a pick? Almost never.
3) The execution of the play was not good. Wilson should have thrown it lower and maybe lead Lockette a little less. It the throw is at Lockette's body then Butler has to run through the receive to get the ball which would be a penalty.
4) Butler made an unbelievable play. Maybe we should be giving him more credit and blaming people less.
I chose "other'. We got beat on that final play because the NE CB made a great play and the Patriots offense performed. Our defensive backfield was dinged up and the defense gave up a 10 point lead because of it.
On the other side, New England was the worst team in the league in stopping power runs with 1-2 yards to go, allowing the opponents to convert 83% of the time.Uncle Si":1xhbnzg4 said:TheRealDTM":1xhbnzg4 said:We run we win, so obvious its incredible

Bob loblaw":p5o6kdsp said:You lost because Russell Wilson stared his receiver down from the moment he walked to the line. Its just wishful thinking that Marshawn would have scored. You will never know, were the chances greater? Yes, of course. Russell lost it because he took the risk to try and win the game on that play. I see no problem with it. Being great is RISK, he could have minimized it by actually using his brain, but thats life. He had 2 other plays, but he chose to throw it. QB gets the glory and QB becomes the goat and not the good kind.
"I saw Wilson looking over there [toward the receivers]," Butler said. "He kept his head still and just looked over there, so that gave me a clue. And the stacked receivers, I just knew they were going to throw. My instincts, I just went with it, just went with my mind and made the play."
