Russell Wilson almost set a record for not completing a pass in the Superbowl until he finally hit that tall receiver for a big gain leading to their first touchdown.
Until that big play, Seattle could not get anything going on offense because Wilson had no one open, but more importantly had no time to pass. Lynch wasn't exactly tearing it up on the ground either in the first half.
Seattle's two TD in the first half, mainly the result of the big passing play for the 1st one, and a couple of big runs, a completion, a penalty and TD completion for the second TD. New England basically held Lynch's running in check most of the game.
I dunno if that was a 5D glitch or you aren't remembering things correctly but Sea was nowhere near +115 after the Kearse catch.
More like -400....After Lynch 1st down run about -900
Just saw shdw's post and yeah those in-game #s are way off. NE was like 60% when Sea had the ball at midfield, give or take.
You're kind of joking right? Wilson had all the time in the world to pass...watch the tape. He had nobody to throw to as the DB's were playing great. Hell, on that play where Revis tackled Wilson for a loss, he had .10 to pass the ball.
Pass protection was not Seattle's issue. It was the WR's not getting open that was the issue.
My take on the game is that it was one for the century. It had everything and then the ending defied reason. When Brady and Co. scored it seemed like the Pats had the win. Then Kearse made that unbeleivable catch and the Pats were history. Then genius Pete come to their rescue and just like that,,,,,,,, Brady and the Pats win # 4. I'm not taking anything away from either team as they both played their hearts out. I had some great 18/1 futures on the Hawks so I was only making Pats cover bets at Pats +1. I got Pats +450 when Hawks took the 10 point lead. There was a +570 up there but I wasn't quick enough. I had a bigger profit riding with Hawks but Pete had other ideas !
This stat is true.
So maybe it had something to do with the play call & trying to surprise them.
But that stat alone is yet another reason that they might not have have gotten in no matter what plays they ran.
Exactly... And if they had of scored on that pass, everyone would be boasting about how they fooled them with the pass when NE was expecting the run...
Pats sometimes you make absolutely no sense.
So if a team is 32nd in pass defense, it is meaningless???
If a team is last in rushing offense, it is meaningless???
There are stats inside the redzone for the same exact reasons and if you think every coach doesn't have all the numbers in their back pocket, then you are wrong.
Bottom line is everyone crying "Why didn't they give Lynch the ball".
Yet Lynch has failed to get into the end zone 80% of the time this year from the exact predicament they were facing...
Over a sample size of 5 in a very specific situation, that short yardage example is meaningless.
if your gonna tell me I make no sense atleast do it when I say some dumbass shit rather than you being the 1 saying the dumbass shit
Your 32nd in pass defense/rushing offense as an equivalency to using 5 carries to determine a players goal line running prowess is the worst false equivalency I've ever seen on this forum.
