14 - 10 is "down 2 scores?" And they did throw it in the 4th quarter.
What about the Defense letting the Cowboys chew up clock and score 14 points late?
The Seahawks were down 2 scores in the 4th qtr.
14 to 24.
Clayton arguing that throwing too much at the end of the game is a false correlation and is asinine, especially when they were far more effective throwing the whole night than running.
The defense was gassed because the offense forced the run and continued going 3-'n-out too many times.
First 3 possessions. All 3-'n-outs, 9 plays 5 yards total.
Pete Carroll, Russell Wilson, and many intelligent football people have admitted, or stated they should've thrown more.
Bro,
When Seattle scored to go up 14-10, our defense then allowed a touchdown on a 9 play 67 yard drive that took 4:31 of clock . 17-14 Cowboys.
Seattle then goes 3 and out on a -1 yard run by Carson (last run play of the game for Seattle) and two throws (5 yards to Baldwin. Incomplete deep to Lockett on 3rd and 6).
Next drive for the Cowboys was the KJ Wright pick in the end zone. Could have been PI. I thought it was okay, but I'm a defense guy and liked how he played it.
Seattle goes 3 and out again on 4 straight short passes (could have been 2nd and 4 on the first throw, but holding was called...). No runs.
Cowboys get the killer drive. Seattle answers. Onside kick sucked. Game.
Can't really blame that Seattle ran it too much when they ran it only once after their TD drive that gave them the 14-10 lead.
The D failed us in the 4th, man. Simple as that. That was the game. The 3 quarters before that when they ran it "too much", they had the lead...was it a 20 point lead and total domination? No. Could they have mixed it up more to have a better lead going into the 4th? Yes! But they ended that game passing it. That's all OP and Clayton are saying...
