Seahawks run play action and Wilson rolls and in all likelihood he finds a receiver open by 5 or more yards, if not he can run or chuck it away. To throw it into that traffic jam where it could be batted down at the line or tipped and picked or just plain picked by one of the 11 Patriot bodies right there defending will go down as the worst play call in the history of the NFL... |
I agree. It was fine to throw the ball. It was only 2nd down. If they don't score, there is still time for 2 running plays. They still had one time out left. Throwing the ball was fine, but it should have been a play action pass and only thrown if someone was wide open. If not, throw it away and then run the ball twice. That way you have 3 chances to score. If you run it the first 2 times and don't get in, then there would be no 3rd chance because they only had one time out left and the clock would have run out.
As you said, throwing the ball wasn't the big mistake. Throwing the ball into a crowd was the mistake.
