Brady was carving them and all they needed was a Field Goal. I never said they would have won, but the odds were much higher if he had called the timeout. As he executed it, if they had run Lynch (and he scored of course) We would have had like 24 seconds instead of 58 or so, huge. And clearly a coaching blunder. A lot of homerism on this obvious issue. I feel like I am debating "Creationists" or something. lolOnly if they'd deliberately let the Seahawks score.
Even if they were gassed, that's still a much better D than Atlanta's. It would've been somewhere around 45-50 seconds with one timeout left to go and, assuming the ball gets put at the 25, at least 40 yards to go for a reasonable shot at a FG. And in that case it would not have been possible to employ the dink-and-dunk strategy that beat the Seahawks D that day with time being of the essence.
