Revisiting the call - last play of Super Bowl XLIX

[hawkfan68]

It may have been a stupid and defensible play, but it didn't cost us the Super Bowl.

We should never have been in the situation to win or lose the game on one play. We failed to move the ball in the first half and had to play catch-up in the second. We played poorly enough to lose, and only the luck of a bizarre catch by Kearse put us in position to even try for the win.

Our first half lost us the game. One play at the end killed the comeback attempt.

Interesting take on where the game was lost, Kiwihawk. While I agree that the Seahawks didn't make enough plays to win the game, it wasn't the first half play that cost them. They were tied 14-14 at the half. They had a 24-14 lead heading into the 4th quarter. They lost the game by not making the plays in the 4th quarter. This hasn't happened much, it's usually the Seahawks who win games in the 4th qtr. Unfortunately, in this game they lost it in 4th.
