I'm sure a lot of us have played out this scenario in our head (History is history we can't change it, but what if...)
What if the Hawks did run the ball at the 1 yard line of SB 49?
I do wonder what would have been the outcome?
Would beast mode have been stuffed? forced time out? some weird play action that results in an Interception anyway, or perhaps a win? or perhaps just the lead momentarily and Brady comes back and wins the game anyway since the defense wasn't stopping him anymore in the 4th quarter.
If the Hawks did win, would Brady have retired because he couldn't get it done anymore because all everyone would talk about would be how he lost his last three SB appearances. Would the Hawks players and coaching staff not have imploded somehow truly became a dynasty and even "Three-Pete" and the Seahawks would become the new Patriots Brady-Belichick dynasty in the NFL but it would be RW and PC? or would the players have taken their new contracts elsewhere and the team slowly falter as we're seeing now (just with one extra SB win to show for it).
If the Hawks still have lost, but perhaps via Brady final come back...Would they have stayed bought in accepting a loss perhaps by the defense and come back again strongers? Or perhaps a finger pointing game at the defense instead of the offensive play calling at the end of the game?
Anyway, just curious for those out there who have played this scenario in their heads, what did you realistically see happening for SB 49 ending and how the next 5 years or so would have played out had the play call changed?
