The Call Heard Around the World

Every football gambling fan and their mother watched the Super Bowl yesterday, and the real Champion was the NFL, who received its best viewership ever for a Super Bowl. It was a very entertaining game, but the biggest play and reason why every football gambling fans will be talking about this game is that Pete Carroll and the Seahawks on 2nd and goal from the 1-yard line with around 20 seconds left in the game decided to throw the ball in the middle of the field, which resulted in a game-sealing interception by the Patriots.

The reason the call was so baffling was that the Seahawks have arguably the best and most ferocious running back in the entire league in Marshawn “The Beast” Lynch. The Patriots could not stop him during the entire game, and on first down, he nearly scored a touchdown. So with around 20 seconds left and one time out, and three more possible downs, why in the world would you not run the ball? Why would a team that is known for running the ball, with a Beast of running back not just run the ball right up the gut?

Not only did they decide not to run the ball, but they threw it in the middle of the field. At the very least throw a fade to the corner of the endzone, where only your player can catch it or it goes out of bounds. This is football 101, why throw the ball right in the middle where most players are situated.

The offensive coordinator said he wanted to throw the ball so he could kill some clock so the Patriots would not have any time left if the Seahawks scored. First of all that makes no sense, because if you want to run time off the clock, then you run the ball, you definitely don’t throw the ball, where it can be incompleted and the clock stops. That call to throw the ball into the middle of the field not only cost the Seahawks their second Super Bowl win in 2 years, but it is probably the worst call by a coach in the history of all sports. Carroll might as well have let Wilson hand the ball off to the Patriots. Even the Seattle players after the game were openly questioning the coaching staff’s decision not to hand the ball off to their beast.

What does the rest of the free bookie software and Phins fans think about that call that ultimately lost Seattle the game?
