but for real though, why didn't they just run it?

Incompletion stops the clock with one timeout

obsessed

too soon, bro

rude

They wanted Russell Wilson to be the Super Bowl hero and face-of-the-franchise, not Marshawn Lynch.

Pats stuffed the box and forced Seattle into a throwing situation.

Main problem for Seattle is that Belichick refused to take the time out which completely threw them off.

they had marshawn fucking lynch, he would have just ran through that

Cool as ice. Always prepared.

the patriots read them like a book, they said if they were to throw it, its gonna be a slant so look for it, bill did try to back pete up, but pete still made the singular dumbest call in super bowl history. He will never live this down and wilson will forever be the quarterback that should have won +1 to however many he ends up with

i remember the camera man cut to marshawn after this, the look on his face was almost precog in its suffering, like he knew the second they didnt run him they had lost

This. He had been running right through that defense the entire drive. They decided to get cute and the rest is history.

Yeah it was payback for lynch giving the media silence treatment

Man seahawks really were the ant- patriots looking back at it the way their team was set up, even though its the same way but with not as good players

now

it was second down. another run wouldn't have hurt unless it was a fumble but marshawn took a whole skittles bag so you know he was BOOSTIN'. but no it would be too predictable according to pete

fuck yeah fellow leaf
there was many a tear being shed in my neck of the woods eh

Their options were:
>run on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th
runs the risk of running out of time before 4th down, which would have been an even worse way to lose
>run on 2nd, pass on 3rd, do whatever on 4th
vanilla as hell, if you don't get it on 2nd, you're basically throwing away 3rd down
>pass on 2nd, do whatever on 3rd and 4th
Only way you'll get 3 legitimate chances at scoring. Can still run twice.

In a youtube vid on the bowl, Butler states that they never stopped that play in practice. Not once

In the last few games he also fumbled inside the 5 yard line multiple times, and failed to convert goaline multiple times.
The real answer is the pats were just a better football team and nature ran its course.

Best Yea Forums handegg moment, even better than 18-1 because there were so many SeaTrannies here
