Has it occurred to anyone next year we will be watching 'Super Bowl L'?

That's just weird...

No, they're not doing that. It will be called "Super Bowl 50".

And one for good measure:

for what it's worth, I do think that Lockette could've been stronger to the ball like the OC says. Watching the play, you can see he looks like he flops and gestures for a flag. That said, still a shitty playcall not to run it IMO. Realistic worst case, lose a yard or two and waste some clock. Still leaves 2 downs and 30 seconds to score with a timeout left.

The OC is a dumbass and is just trying to pass the blame of his terrible playcall. Lockette did what he was asked to do. The DB jumped the route. The only blame of that entire situation falls on Bevell and Carroll for calling an inside pass in the first place.

It really wasn't a bad strategy. But, yeah, inside pass? How about, no? QB roll out to a corner pass or just through the back of the endzone if it falls apart. Carroll said he (basically) didn't give a shit if the pass worked or not, so why take a risk like that? Cra-zy.

Hmm.

In that case, we should push it ourselves; I know this guy who makes shirts, name of Mitoska...

Agreed 100%. The only pass on that play should have been on a rollout. It gives them a few options at that point. Float it to the corner, throw it away, try to be a defender to the pylon.

Let's forget the fact that Marshawn Lynch is in the backfield, and no coach in the history of football would call an inside slant in that situation. None.

[j2k4]

Well, yeah...but then there's this:

Seahawks? Marshawn Lynch isn?t exactly money from the 1-yard line - The Washington Post

[stealthee]

He had 3 chances from the 1. He wasn't going to be denied.

Could of, should of would of, doesn't matter. It was dumb in hind sight, if Butler doesn't intercept that everyone would be calling it a ballsy call that gives them the W.

this thread is way too early. can't start this thread until draft day.

can a mod rename this to the "IPD wants to troll, piss, bitch & moan about something" thread? would be more fitting.
