The very last line is my favorite.
This guy is a winner through and through.

Ask a lot of players behind closed doors with no chance of it getting out to the public and I'm sure their opinion of that play will be the same as a majority of us here are saying.
He, Pete and most others are going to "circle the wagons" on this subject publicly.

Well then I'll give him credit for using his head after the fact.
And point out that he is doing what a true leader should do.
I think there are plenty of selfish guys out there, that would say or do other wise.
He could easily say other wise if he wanted to. Might not be the best thing but he could.
I give him props for the statement and love the last line.

After Seattle kicks a field goal to take a 17-14 lead early in the third quarter, Wilson is shown looking at plays on a Surface tablet and telling offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell “have confidence in me down there, now. There’s some stuff there.”

Throwing the ball in that situation actually makes sense especially when you hear Pete's breakdown of the situation. It was the particular choice of play I have issues with.
ComicalRiverDog":18qoasm1 said:If Russell truly believes that (I don't think he does), then he's as guilty as Bevell. What should have gone through Russell's head with that play call came in was "WTF? A slant pass to Lockette? If that play isn't there, I'm not throwing it."
I do think that this will make Russell a better quarterback. It is not required that the QB and the OC be on exactly the same page in their thought process all the time. Peyton Manning argues with his coordinators all the time. Russell is going into his 4th season, so he's now a veteran quarterback, and if he doesn't have complete confidence in the play call from the sidelines, he needs to have the courage to check out of it to something else. He was not forced to make that throw. He could have just as easily pulled it back and hit Beast coming out of the backfield, who was wide open, or roll to his right with the option to hit a receiver that comes open, take it in himself, or run out of bounds and preserve our timeout.
