The entirety of the ending, was on Pete Carroll. He mismanaged the clock, played around with making sure there was no time left for Brady to score after the Hawks scored. BIG MISTAKE, he caused the team to be jittery, instead of cocksure, and relaxed. PC wound the team tight, because he ALWAYS played fast and loose with time.
What he should have told his players is, we have this. I don't care how much time is left on the clock "WITH THIS DEFENSE NO ONE IS GOING TO SCORE AFTER WE DO".
Instead, since I wasn't in the huddle, PC was fussing over the little things, instead of telling Russ to just play the game, and his OC how he wants it done, just sit back and call the game in a manner of it being the first game of the season. RELAX BOYS, WE GOT THIS... PC, HE IS THE ONE THAT STOLE THE SB from us fans.
The ending was rushed, and frantic. WE HAD THIS. The team fell apart when you have Lynch laughing in the face of the coach, great comraderie here. Richard Sherman and Lynch took the team for a drive, that wonderful new, fully loaded Mazeratti, and trashed it after that game. Instead of using the disappointment to build unity, they tore it down.
That was the day I decided that I was more invested in the Seahawks, than they were invested in the team. I didn't say it out loud, but it was internal.
.... EFF THEM. It was the equivalent of selling Bitcoin because it hit $10 a coin. It didn't happen on that play, but when the words started coming out of what was happening behind the scenes. It was like an air mattress with a hole.
Two of the very best players on the team, really cared more about that big ME, instead of team.
