Pete Carroll is going to be living that down the rest of his career

But it could have been the other way around. What was Belichick thinking? Did he know Carroll was gonna have a brain fart? Why was he not using his time outs to give Brady a chance to respond? He had to be thinking Lynch was gonna take it in. Did Trestman give these guys some stategy hints or something?

I'd trust Tom Brady to get me ~50 yards in 32 seconds with two TOs.

That said, Belichick forced Carrolll to make a move and Carroll lost it.

To add, I was shocked the Patriots didn't let them score. I thought that would have been the smart play on first down and then left them with 1+ minutes to get a FG for OT.

I want to give a special shout out to Pete Carroll and Darrel Bevell. They just won me 3 Gs with that dumb as shit play call.

like everyone else, i can't BELIEVE they didn't just run Lynch at the end there. that's a painful way to lose, especially after that gift of a catch. wow.
