One thing that is overlooked in the Pete Carroll's pass over run decision was Bill Belichick's decision not to call a timeout.
Rumblings from Matt Patricia was that when they put out their run defense but with extra DBs as opposed to LBs, they were baiting the Seahawks to throw the ball.
As soon as the Marshawn Lynch was tackled on 1st down, i was screaming at Bill to call a timeout so if we get the ball back we'd have time to do something. They didn't call a timeout apparently because they got the look they wanted. From the post game interviews, BB and Patricia were extremely confident in what was going to happen on the goal line it seemed delusional, but maybe it wasn't.
BB said not taking the timeout did 3 things; forced them to throw as there wouldn't be time to run 3 times, it didn't allow them to think about the play and they made a silly call and thirdly, it allowed them to keep to look they wanted.
It was a genius decision not to call the timeout although it still took a massive effort from Browner Butler to make the interception, but by not taking the timeout, it made the play possible.
