After that amazing catch by Jermaine Kearse laying with his back on the ground you would of thought the Patriots were having a flashback of that David Tyree helmet catch that cost them a Super Bowl. So every Patriots player, coach, and fan felt their chances of winning the Super Bowl 49 slowly fading away. But little did anybody know that Pete Carroll was about to call a questionable call that would cost the Seahawks from winning back to back Super Bowl's. I mean yeah everybody in that stadium thought the ball was going to Marshawn at the 1 yard line but, that was even more of a reason to run the read option which would of had Russell Wilson easily run into the end zone untouched. Or even he did get stopped on second down the Seahawks still had 2 more downs and most importantly two more timeouts. So I didn't see what the rush to score was from Pete Carroll he should of took as much time as he could off the clock before the score because we all know how legendary Tom Brady can be and how fast he can get the ball down the field.
Or even if you did throw the ball why would you throw it to a no name receiver in Ricardo Lockette who isn't built yet for big plays like that. Also if you look really closely at the play Marshawn Lynch had beat the linebacker in the flat and was wide open. I just don't understand if you have a top 5 back in the league in the backfield that everyone calls "beast mode" why wouldn't you give him the ball who cares if the defense knows the ball is going to him it's not like they are going to stop it. Especially when Marshawn Lynch is 17 for 20 for 3rd & 4th down in short yardage situations the numbers speak for themselves. So anyone with some common sense would of gave Marshawn Lynch the ball. The Patriots defense 81% of time have allowed teams to score on run situations inside the 2 yard line. Clearly Pete Carroll didn't do his research or he would of been holding up the Lombardi trophy again last Sunday.
That costly interception by Russell Wilson gives Tom Brady his 4th Super Bowl in 6 tries. This championship ring most definitely now puts him in the talk of being as good or better then Joe Montana. People may not like Brady because some think he is too cocky but let's remember he only had one really talented receiver and that was Randy Moss. All his other receiver cores has been so so. You may say what about Wes Welker but in all honestly Welker was a good slot receiver that played his role well which basically made him a great role player rather then a star.
But Seattle Seahawks have a lot of decisions to make in the off season. Such as how much will they give Russell Wilson will they offer him the max deal? If they over Russell Wilson the max deal will they have enough money to sign Bobby Wagner back? Will they go after a pass rusher in free agency? Also the main question will they have enough to sign a legitimate #1 receiver in free agency or get one in the draft? Because that whole season it looked like they missed that blazing speed game changing receiver like Golden Tate and Percy Harvin.
