Perfect plays when properly executed.

Rushing with Lunch on the 1 yard line

Didn't aggressive unconventional plays get them so far in the first place?

>If Kearse jams up Browner

Browner broke down on twitter earlier this year that this was fucking retarded. Kearse would never win that one on one. Browner would get DPI or holding before he'd let Kearse jam him up.

>if only this 6'1 manlet could move the average sized man standing in front of him

When will they learn.

Browner and Butler made perfect plays, I mean you play this out 100 times and Butler makes the pick less than 1 time..

Brandon Browner made a career out of getting pass interference and holding calls regardless of if someone tried to jam him or not. Garbage ass corner. Anyway, they should have just rushed lynch and they'd have gotten a TD.

Yes or passed out of a tight formation.

Do you see the time on the game clock? There are 26 seconds on it. At the end of that play, maybe 22 seconds? Do you realize how much of an eternity 22 seconds is an elite offense with 1 (seahawks) or 2 (patriots) timeouts? The worst plays of that game happened AFTER the interception. The Seahawks had TWO opportunities to force a safety with the Patriots inside the two yard line. But instead of showing some effort and intuition like Malcolm Butler, they elected to cry for their mamas and piss away the opportunity like the losers they were.

I don't even think the pass play was the worst decision given the situation. Had Lynch scored on that play, the patriots offense probably would have had 18 seconds on the game clock at their 30 yard line or so with 2 timeouts and only needing a field goal to tie.

Would you bet your money against Tom Brady in that situation?

I'm a Pats fan and I agree. You can make an argument for that play. There's also an argument to be made that the reason the Patriots were able to capitalize there was BECAUSE the play made sense, so they had an idea of what the Seahawks were going to do and could counter it effectively.
The first thing to remember is that the score was 28-24 New England. This is important because it means a field goal is completely off the table. The possibility of a field goal play does not exist. Seattle must score. Seattle begins their drive on their own 20, 2:02 on the clock and all three of their time outs. Also important to remember that in the first thirteen minutes of the fourth quarter, New England has scored 14 points and Seattle none. All the momentum is with New England, the crowd, which started the game VERY pro-Seahawks is now cheering for the Patriots.
>Wilson throws a wheel route to Lynch, who makes a beautiful catch over Jamie Collins. About a thirty yard gain. First down Seattle, at midfield, 1:59 on the clock, two minute warning.
>Seattle pass broken up, great coverage by Malcolm Butler, who no one has ever heard of.
1:50 on the clock
>2nd and 10, Wilson has to burn a time out as Seattle can't get the snap off before the play clock winds down. 2 timeouts left, 1:50 on the clock.
>Seahawks bring in Chris Mathews, the big receiver that killed New England in the first half before they put Brandon Browner on him. 4 catches for 109 yards and a TD so far.
>Wilson attempts to go deep, to the end zone for Mathews, Browner knocks the ball away. 3rd and 10, 1:41 on the clock.
>Wilson to Locket for 11 yards, first down, clock keeps running.
>Seahawks go no huddle but there is visible confusion and it still takes them 20 seconds from the end of the last play to get the ball snapped.
>Wilson to Kearse for the Kearse Catch. Crazy ass play that looked like was going to doom the Patriots. Again. 1st and ten, ball on the 5, 1:06 on the clock.

Kearse made this catch over Malcolm Butler.
>Seattle can't get down field fast enough after the Kearse catch. Burn ANOTHER time out (THIS IS WHERE SEATTLE LOST THE SUPERBOWL)
1st and 10, ball on the 5, 1:06 on the clock, 1 time out
>Give is to Lynch, looks like he's going in to the end zone until Hightower grabs his leg.
2nd and goal, ball on the 1, 57 seconds remaining.
Here is where it all fell apart.
Seattle meanders back to the line as the clock continues to run, and the commentator even mentions that New England should think about taking a time out. But this is what makes Bill Belichick the greatest coach of all time. And mortal man would have taken the time out, thinking that Seattle has a 100% chance to score given that they have Lynch. Best you can hope for if you're the Patriots is that they do it quick then you get the ball back with as much time as possible on the clock and two time outs.
But not Bill Belichick.
He says "fuck you, I have the lead, the clock is against YOU, you have to beat ME with more pressure that's ever been on you in your coaching career. Your players aren't as good as mine, you got fucking lucky, take your best shot."
Carroll sees the clock is running. If you're Seattle you have three plays left in the game, but only about 25 seconds and you have only one time out. Your team has shown you during this last drive that they can be lazy and undisciplined about getting to the line. You've burned TWO of your timeouts during this drive to avoid taking delay of game penalties. IF you run on this play, and Lynch does not get in you will be forced to use your last time out. (Lynch was 1/5 during the season on converting from the 1 yard line, he had several plays in this game that were for negative or zero yards)
If you throw a pass play, from the 1, which at this point in the 2015 season had been done 100 times and not one had lead to an interception, there are three possible outcomes.

>Forcing a safety when all Brady has to do is kneel, which is what he did

The game was done with Butler's interception

1. Lockett catches pass, touchdown, you pretty much win the Superbowl. (50% chance)
2. Pass is incomplete, either he can't make the catch or you throw it out of the back of the end zone, clock stops. On third down you now have the option to either pass or run because you still have a time out. On fourth down you will also have the option to pass OR run. (50% chance)
3. New England predicts our play perfectly, Brandon Browner stops Baldwin from jamming Malcom Butler, undrafted rookie corner who was working at Popeyes at the start of the season makes a perfect play on the ball and is able to knock a larger man away to grab it himself. (0% chance)
Brandon Browner, who played for the Seahawks the previous year knew this was a play Seattle loved to run in these situations. Belichick prepared for this particular play in the weeks leading up to the Superbowl. His guys ran against this very play over and over again. Not once in practice had Butler intercepted the ball.
For Carroll it makes sense to throw, it seems incredibly safe, you'll save a time out, it gives you more options on subsequent downs in case you need them. Plus there's the added bonus of making Wilson, who is Carroll's boy, look like the hero of Seattle while the contentious Marshawn Lynch is downplayed.
To Russel Wilson, before the ball was even in his hand he knew who he was going to throw to, he never looked anywhere else.

The end result was pure Malcolm Butler. He executed the play perfectly. It's like something out of a fucking anime how Butler was all charged up on emotion. He was the one who had given up the Kearse Catch, he had let his team down. He was determined to make up for it, to not lose this game and he went at the ball as hard as a human can go. Lockett did not. He thought the game was in the bag, he got lazy for half a second and he lost the Superbowl. That's just that little extra Belichick is able to get from his guys that makes him the best coach of all time.
Calling that play when he did made logical sense. That one play was not the reason Carroll lost the Superbowl. He lost it over the course of the year at practices, in game situations, in the locker room by not instilling his incredibly talented team with the discipline that makes great coaches great. They wasted two time outs because they couldn't get a play off in forty seconds. Then in the most important moment of the game, at least one player was distracted, probably already celebrating the inevitable victory despite being behind in the score and the clock running against you. Immediately following this crazy series of events the Seattle defense piled up multiple penalties for again, being undisciplined and overly emotional.
There have been stories all over these past couple years about the Seahawks breaking up, about Wilson and Sherman splitting the locker room, about Carroll being powerless to stop any of it. You would never hear something like this from a Patriots locker room. Because they would remove a contentious element. Carroll simply doesn't know how to lead a group of grown men. He did well with eighteen year old kids in the NCAA but this is the same issue he had in New England where the players just walk all over him. But he's fantastic at putting a team together, and the Seattle front office is pretty great too. So he's assembled a great team but he can't reign them in.

So the blame for the result of this play lies in the following in order of most blame to least blame:

1. Pete Carroll for not getting his team disciplined enough to beat the most well coached team in NFL history.
2. Malcolm Butler for making a perfect play
3. Tyler Lockett for being too lazy to win the Superbowl
4. Belichick for not only calling the play but getting his team to play for all sixty minutes even when things look hopeless.
5.Brandon Browner, for BTFO his previous team. I like to think of Browner like Batman in the Justice League story where it turns out he has contingency plans in case the League ever went rogue and he had to kill them.
6. Russel Wilson for telegraphing an obvious play and not just throwing it into the back of the end zone.
7. Hightower for stopping the first Lynch run
8. Marshawn Lynch for having shitty numbers from the one yard line to the point where his coach didn't believe in him
9. Pete Carroll for calling a pass.

Carroll believed in Lynch, people need to kill that part of the narrative. He and Bevell just had a brain fart because Beli didn't take his time-outs. So Bevell picked a play that gave the Pats a huge advantage. They put it in the hands of Ricardo lockette (fourth string WR, the Seahawks Gunner on Special Teams), Jermaine Kearse, and Russell Wilson's arm. That was up against Butler and Browner's jam. It was just a poor play call regarding the personnel and gave the Pats the best chance to take it away by throwing in the middle of the field. Bevell has since developed other plays for that situation.
