Butler had seen that same play in practice and on film so he knew what to do.

If he plays off expecting a fade or even false steps, Seahawks are screaming dynasty!!

The Butler kid read it perfectly! If he is half a step slower on the reaction, that is a TD!

I was so proud for him. Butler is also the one who broke up the pass just previous that Kerse (sp?) made the great catch on while laying on his back.

Not only did he read it perfectly, he made an outstanding play on the ball, out battling a much bigger receiver.

@planomateo The more I think about that play, the more I'm inclined to saying it wasn't the pass that was a poor call, it was the decision on where to pass (falling on Russell? Perhaps.)

Run-stuff defense...if you're going to pass it seems logical to go outside instead of attacking what's basically the "teeth" of the defense.

There are some interesting tweets circulating about Lynch and his success, or lack thereof, in those situations.

An interesting situation. If you run Lynch and don't get in, you have to take your last TO. Then, with maybe 17-18 seconds left, you would almost certainly throw on 3rd, and leave 4th to run or throw. The second down pass, if incomplete, lets you have 3rd and 4th down as run or pass, since you still have your TO. Even if there is a sack, you take your TO, and do pass, pass or pass, run. Was it a terrible choice of throws... well I would have tried a fade, but it took a great read and a great play by the youngster even throwing the slant.

The Washington Post wrote an article showing Lynch had tried from the 1 yard line 5 times this year and only scored once.

Seahawks vs. Broncos, Sept. 21: Lynch loses one yard.

Seahawks vs. Giants, Nov. 9 (first quarter): Lynch touchdown.

Seahawks vs. Giants, Nov. 9 (second quarter): Lynch loses one yard.

Seahawks vs. Giants, Nov. 9 (third quarter): Lynch no gain.

Seahawks vs. 49ers, Nov. 27: Lynch no gain.

Also,

"Over his career, Lynch has had 36 carries from the opponent’s 1-yard line. More often than not, he didn’t reach the end zone. He scored on 15 of those carries, or 41.7 percent of the time. On 12 of those carries, he did not gain a yard. On nine of them, he lost yardage."

Tell you this, Pete Carroll has impressed me how he's dealt with this (based on the comments he's said that I've read). Not once has he publically thrown anyone under the bus, he's put it all on his shoulders.

Something interesting, the Patriots have six 1st rounders starting on the defensive side of the ball. Impressive.

Did you catch how many were originally drafted by NE?

Interesting article. Hightower and company would have been tough to get through.

They drafted them all except Revis. Mayo is on IR along with Easley who isn't a starter.

The Superbowl commercials made me wanna commit suicide after the Superbowl.

@bamaraider Snickers commercial that had Steve Buscemi playing Marsha Brady was entertaining.

Sooo, you're saying you didn't immediately run out and by Dove for Men?

 

[rick4bama]

Katy not my cup of tea so I didn't watch it. I'm more of a NFC kind of a guy, but Hightower is a Bama man glad he got the ring. Dang I was about to go out and get me some Dove for men. :shock:

What did you guy think about the blue pill ads?
