Why the Pats didn't win the Superbowl last year

[The Indomitable DrugS]

When they needed to go 90 yards in 20 seconds they should have tried the vintage 'Hail Underthrow Moss & Ladder play'

Amazingly - this is the only video I can find on Youtube of the play ... the greatest play in NFL history ...

That was the final play of the first half and the Vikes ended up beating Denver by just a touchdown that game to run there record to 7-0 I think.

Why has it never been tried again in a Hail Mary situation?

All the coverage is so affraid of the mans speed that you can assure the uncontested 40 yard completion by underthrowing him - and with the coverage all collapsing hard on him - he will only have a split second to get rid of the ball .. but if a reciever breaks back and to the sidelines when the ball is in the air ... he's free'd up to take the pitch and jog into the endzone if the timing is right and Moss gets the White Chocolate no look lateral off.
