Re: NFL Playoffs 2015/Super Bowl XVIX
I don't watch a ton of football but it seems like most teams in that situation throw the fade to the corner of the endzone in a spot that only their player can catch it.dmarx114 wrote:One other thing.....I think the type of passing play the Seahawks ran at the end was bad. If they ran a traditional goal line set with 2 or 3 tight ends, they could have created the illuision of a run with a play action pass, and throw the ball to a tight end.
But the Seahawks somewhat telegraphed a pass by having 3 receivers in the game. That's on the coaching staff.

Nate Silver says the decision to throw wasn't terrible...but yeah, I think the type of pass that it was is the main problem.
Belichick's decision not to call timeout and save some clock in the event the Seahawks scored was also a bad decision.

I'll stop by the dealership later. I was able to shower with Dove products earlier today and opened a NW policy. By this evening when I drive home in an Altima I'll be an incredible father.JL21 wrote:That Nissan ad with Cat's in the Cradle would have been way better if it had been for condoms.
Generally speaking, I thought it was a good year for ads because I actually liked a few. That's rarely true.

Cool NFL stat that the guys on College Football Live just gave: there were 109 passes thrown in the NFL this season from the one yard line combining the regular season and postseason. On these plays, there were 66 touchdown passes...and one interception!

Of course all the Doritos I ate in the late 90s never did get me laid.

Obviously, Pete Carroll (and Darrell Bevell) underestimated their greatest weapon. But don't act like he's stupid. The eventual outcome was pretty damn unlikely.
They have that play, then a run, then a timeout, then a choice on 4th.Mike Cardano @MikeCardano · 7h 7 hours ago
INTERESTING: That was the 109th time a QB threw from the 1-yd line this yr & it the 1st time it resulted in an INT @scotteRotoEx @AdamRonis

Even taking away the situation (the down and distance), Wilson's INT % is 1.5 this year, 2.1 career. Less than a 1-in-50 shot that he gets picked.
There's no denying that they should have used Lynch, but the pick was an extremely unlikely outcome.

Re: NFL Playoffs 2015/Super Bowl XVIX
I'm going to guess that pass play has a better success rate than a fade, or a play where Wilson could go thru options But with that inside pass play, a failure stands greater chance of pick than the other type passing plays.
I agree the outcome of that play was unlikely, but it would have been even unlikelier if it was some other pass play where Wilson had option of throwing it away -which he is uncommonly good at doing.
Sorry, no time to dig for stats to back up my premise.

Re: NFL Playoffs 2015/Super Bowl XVIX
I think it just seems like a more stupid play because of the way that Lynch had been railroading the Patriots for the entire second half. It's not so much a matter disagreeing with what they did (throwing the ball), but disagreeing with what they didn't do (give the ball to Lynch). Heck, even if you think giving the ball to Lynch is too obvious, there are other plays that seem more logical. Run a play-action, bootleg, read-option, etc.
Too much "congestion" for the play that they called, in my opinion.
Edit: Kinda what Freed is saying.
