Pete Carroll and Bill O'Brien played it way too safe

Those obsessed with outcome may take exception to one or two points, but the overall logic behind it is quite interesting and good. I found myself quite happy to see BOB settle for FGs at different points in the game.

Every underdog can beat a favourite, but certain strategies will increase those odds. BOB played to keep the loss close rather than playing to win.

Not much in the playbook that can overcome having Assweiler at QB
