If they run on 2nd down, they have to call time out. They could have still gotten 3 plays off if they would have then thrown on 3rd down.
If they run on second down they score. Patriots could have had 20 men on defense they weren't going to stop Lynch that close. There is no excuse on that play call. Only thing I can think of is RHT bet on Seattle.

Interesting read indicating a run by Lynch wasnt an automatic TD.

Did you read the article that JMS linked to? The stats show that Lynch only scores from the 1 yard line at a 42% clip. So there was less than a 50/50 chance of him scoring on that one play. If you give him the ball twice, then your odds double.

except for one thing....this was for the Super Bowl win. We might have stopped him for a 3 yard loss a la Willie McGinest vs Colts in Indy, but i don't think anything would have kept him out of the end zone personally.

Carrol called the play.you have one yard to go for back to back super bowls and you're letting the OC call the play? No WAY . The DC is gone for Atlanta after the game . He called it cuz He knows Wilson will be around long after Lynch is gone. He wanted to give the kid the win, and look like a genius. He coached up here and was all about Pete Carrol. Just like at USC...him and harbaugh even fixed a couple back then
