10 years ago the Seahawks didn't run the ball

Yep, one of time most fucktarded playcalls in league history.

Which had it worked and scored the TD it would have been called genius.

Worried about tendencies, Seattle coach wanted to switch it up it had worked before but putting that on tape makes it just another tendency Belechick prepared his defense for.

Butler had never responded correctly in practice but in the game when the keys hit and sure enough here comes that middle pass he stepped right into it and made history.

They were at the 1yd line, had been running the ball all over the Pats and had a timeout left. Scoring with almost no time left is something almost any mediocre HC would have known to do.

The rumor is the call was made because they wanted Kumar to be the "hero"

It went down in flames and is one of the most moronic play calls in the history of football.

Everyone asked who was involved all say the same thing - they wanted to throw Belechick a curve and they feared he had a trick up his sleeve to stop the run at the goal line. And they'd had this play and had used it that season, with success. But ultimately that's why it didn't work that time.

Yes we can trick ourselves trying to be cute and trick the opponent.

Yeah, not buying it. Carroll isnt that damn stupid.

On the other hand he did somehow coach a massively loaded USC team to a national championship loss against Radio and the Longhorns, so maybe he is.

 

[icup]

yes it was the single dumbest playcall of all time

BUT it was also one of the best instances of game prep and playmaking by butler

that single decision to pass instead of run changed the entire culture of the seahawks and greatly sped up their demise because of how much trust the players lost in carroll

It's out of his own mouth. And others.
