That last pass was as likely to be intercepted as the tipped pass was to be caught. Butt (see what I did there?) for #21, the Seahawks are celebrating. Amazing, Unexpected, and Super -- what an ending. It was providence not bad coaching.
also, let's not forget that Belichick forced them to throw at least once by NOT calling a timeout. he not only put the game in the hands of his D, but even at that moment he had the presence of mind not to do what many were thinking he should do.Also, Browner recognized the play and stuffed the pick on Butler, giving him a free lane to Lockette. The play was called by the OC not Pete Carroll (Bevlin?). The play makes some sense in time management. The QB threw the ball a little high and Lockette came in soft. Poop happens.
Now the Buttfumble was pure gold.
After thinking about it. you're right.I do not get why this play call is getting so much hate. Slant on the goal line is a bread and butter TD play.
Butler made an awesome play, he deserves all the credit in the world. The play call was fine.
the butt fumble. butler had to make a great play on that int or it would have been a td.Both are epic fails, but which is bigger?
There was logic behind that pass play. Carroll even stated that they were going to run on third down if the pass had fell incomplete, which is more likely than an int from a rookie db having to run around a pick.
Buttfumble is on the opposite spectrum of something like the Tyree catch. It may never be reproduced for all we know. Pure fail.
