The improbable comeback that almost wasn't.

It almost didn't happen, had the scenario been any different, but as luck would have it.. you know the rest.

By studying the film, Seahawks special teams coach Brian Schneider discovered an exploitable trend on the part of Packers LB Brad Jones. Jones, especially in the previous week's game against the Cowboys, was extremely aggressive attempting to block field goals, cutting inside and ceding the edge. With that information Pete Carroll decided to go for the fake—but only if Jones was on the field, and only to Jones's side.

Good job coaches, its' why we are the best!

Amazing...

I have had issues with Schneider, but he has come up with some great stuff. He's probably a really good special teams coach and it's just the fan in me that so easily finds faults with his coaching.

My favorite part of the story is Gilliam's quote:

"I broke the huddle like, Please be on my side, please be on my side," Gilliam says. "And then [Jones] was."
