[@roshango125ab]

People keep calling it the worst play call of all time, but I've always seen that as a reactionary take. The Seahawks ran similar passing plays at the goal line for 3 years and nothing went wrong. Nobody walks away thinking "why didn't they hand it to beast mode" when it works. The design is great. A pick move that makes it an easy walk in TD. Browner and Butler did their homework. Browner stood up, Kerse. Butler jumped the route. It was just an excellent read by them. 70 times out of 100 it's a TD. 29 times out of 100 it's incomplete. 1 time out of 100 it's intercepted. It just so happened to be on the biggest stage

Pete could’ve called for a qb sneak with Beast mode pushing Wilson into the ENDZONE

[@Gabriel2oh6]

Wilson was never the type of quarterback you could just sneak in at the goal line. I don’t remember Russ ever having success doing that. Besides, we would just be running into the same clock management and timeouts issue when that doesn’t work either. Passing made sense. We can argue that it was the wrong read or wrong type of pass play, but there was nothing wrong with them throwing the ball.

[@Edward_Nebiolo]

@@Gabriel2oh6 do you remember what the 2022 eagles would do on 3rd or 4th and inches? The tush push. It only failed them 2 times out of 30 something times. Wilson may not be a qb who could sneak and break the goal line on his own but with Marshall Lynch pushing Wilson in would definitely work. They probably should’ve chose to throw the ball on 3rd down after they used their final timeout if their tush push failed on 2nd down

Malcom made a great play and was able to make that play because Bill burned him on the same play in practice and singled him out on it. Ran the play once. So both Bill and Malcom deserves credit. 4. Russ threw a terrible pass. Pick plays should either be caught or incomplete. Never intercepted because the ball is supposed to be on the guy to slightly behind and lower. Russ’s pass was high and in front of the WR. Same exact timing and play, with a better located pass, at worst the play is incomplete. 5. Everyone knew Beastmode was getting the rock. Best time to change it up and run a low risk pass play. 2nd down. You can still hand it off 2 more times.

Oh he definitely got criticized, especially in the sports media those first couple weeks after it happened. But, i think people didn't harp on it for long because Russ did something that most QBs (especially AR) never do; he took 100% responsibility for throwing the pick from moment one after it happened. In their emotional reaction, everyone assumed that he was just saying the "right thing" to the press to protect his coach, who already had a reputation for blowing it in the clutch. But Russ blamed himself; wrote a book about it in fact. Russ was not an elite QB before that incident; he became an elite QB after that incident.

[@jaredmello]

And honestly, as a Patriots fan, this was an unlucky result for the Seahawks. Usually the worst case is an incomplete pass. Ironically, the worst decision of Super Bowl history also involved Malcolm Butler, Bill B benching him the entire game in Super Bowl 52. He played 98% of the snaps on defense that year and they changed the line up for the Super Bowl, and they still didn’t put him in even after Foles and the eagles were torching them. That was the worst decision in Super Bowl history because it impacted every defensive snap. Petes decision was just one play.

Run it on 2nd down if Beast doesn't get in call a time out. Throw on third. And last play run or throw. There used all four downs. Lynch would have scored on the 2nd as Pats were ready for the pass.

[@riggsmarkham922]

Why would they have been *less* ready for the pass on 3rd down? If anything, they would've been more ready for it then (since it would have been the only option).

[@johnnyspeed5885]

If you wanted to throw a pass, with a threat like Marshawn in the backfield, YOU THROW A PLAY-ACTION PASS! Not a potentially poorly executed inside Slant. 🤦‍♂️ People, including Pete, can say what they want, but that was a terrible play call...

[@jamiesp3901]

They also have a mobile qb. They run a rpo in that situation, you can't tell me beast mode, russ can't find a lane to run it in. If they do, a te slips wide open.

[@jmkl_wforwumbo5711]

@@jamiesp3901RPOs weren't that popular then. When the Eagles went on that 2017 run with Nick Foles, that's when you saw it being mainstream. Only a few OC knew how to run the RPO at the time, and the Seahawks spread offense isn't made for RPOs either

Translation: “I did not want Marshawn to get MVP.”

[@JuanMartinez-xf3uz]

I'm glad they're finally giving Butler credit for making a play.

[@jeffdollaz]

Thanks for the free ring Pete we love you in Boston

[@JoseMR2k11]

Lynch had a problem with the media. So the organization was not gonna let Lynch be the savior of the Super Bowl and sit there and not talk to media. It was really that simple, I'm sure Pete Carroll was told to not let marshawn win the game.

[@StullaKingKuul]

Mfka shoulda ran it all 4 times if you lose so be it

[@Raider2Pac]

He's saying there wasn't enough time for 4 runs

[@mtmageo3631]

The WHOLE SEAHAWKS NATION WAS MAD AT you coach Carroll for that call... WE ALL KNEW BEAST MODE WOULD OF DONE IT!

[@Steven-wz7sh]

After the game he was asked and he said a similar answer. It was planned out 2 runs a pass and a run depending on what they show. Bill was genius not calling timeout.

[@Ngooo]

It is kind of fascinating to see them talking about it in public now, even though it was pretty obvious back then how that single fucking play poisoned that locker room for year to come. That team was never the same

[@DWTHEGREAT1]

I respect Coach for doing this!

[@Michael-wk4yo]

As a Seahawks fan I don't think that pain will ever go away I think because Marshawn Lynch was my favorite player of all time

[@JamezGrimm]

“I wish I could feel it the way I should” oh you did, Pete. Right when Beastmode came and laughed right in your face, I guarantee you felt it. 😂

[@MP-tf7cc]

Solid logic by Carroll. MB just made a great play after being well prepared in practice.

[@santinodellacroce2079]

BEAST MODE that was the man's nickname. Pete can say whatever he wants idc. BEAST MODE

[@239kid5]

also remember the patroits had studied film and practiced defending this exact pass play at the goal line and malcolm wasnt getting there in time during practice however he recognized the play in the super bowl when the seahawks got into formation on the goal line in the exact situation they had been studying, he recognized it and made the play

[@sauceboss6045]

Everybody keeps coming back to this play but I'm glad Carrol knows the score. Butler made the play of a lifetime where every minute thing had to occur the way it did for that result. In 100 tries, Butler makes that 1 time and it happened that way. Hell, the receiver was just begging bringing the ball into his chest when Butler stripped it into his hands. Insane.

[@Wwooaah]

Its not just that a pass was called there, it's even moreso where the ball was thrown on that play in THAT situation

[@CaleebTalib]

As a Pats fan he’s right. Passing on a goal line defense isn’t the worst option, they just practiced that specific play.

[@hishighholiness3580]

It sucks for Pete that this is his legacy moment. Dude is actually cool as fuck and a true legend yet he will be remembered for this blunder forever....

[@evciachic]

Such a better perspective than anything ive heard from the players

[@king6595]

Sherman being professionally appropriate rn lmao

[@hatch003]

Since I was 2 young to see the first 3 super bowls this was my first Super Bowl that I witnessed the pats win and when Malcolm Butler intercepted dat shit my head almost hit my fuckin ceiling

[@DC-wg1zy]

That play made me a lot of money. Thanks coach!!!

[@aahlilweever816]

That play rebooted New England Dynasty 🤦‍♂️💯😤
