Can anyone explain the rational behind Bill NOT calling a timeout on seattles final drive?
With 1:06 to go lynch runs to the 1 on first down. Pats have 2 time outs left. If we call one there, we can call one after second down, so as long as seattle scores by/on 3rd down..we leave brady with slightly under a minute to get in fg range to send it to OT. Rough but manageable.
As played, by letting clock tick..if seattle scores brady needs a freakin miracle on final score. So, I can only assume BB really didn't think they were going to score? Did he really like his chances of stopping seattle 3 times from inside the 1??
Big pats fan, obv not hating, trying to figure out because I highly doubt that was just a blunder on belichicks part..it has to have been a conscious decision. Thoughts?
