[QUOTE="sschind, post: 597866, member: 10247"] I've never been a fan of letting the other team score but not calling the time out was suspect at the very least. Its not like time was against the Seahawks and the TO would have really helped them. Like pokerbrat said they seemed to have time to do pretty much whatever they wanted . That said time was a factor in Pete Carroll's mind and perhaps that is what Bellichick saw as well. I saw one article that explained Carroll's thought process this way. If we run on second down (against a stacked front) and get stuffed we have to burn our last TO. Then we probably have to pass on 3rd down (getting stuffed again on a 3rd down run might not leave enough time to get a 4th down play off) and if its incomplete we have to make the choice of run or throw on 4th down. When explained that way it kind of makes sense. He was trying to make sure they would have 3 downs to get the TD after the first down run was stopped at the 1. Personally I think Lynch would have scored if given 2 attempts from the 1 and if they would have needed it and been able to get the 4th down play off I think they would have scored on that one. Of course there is the IF involved. It wasn't a bad play call and even though Bevel looks like a jerk for throwing Lockett under the bus he is probably right. Lockett will forever be wondering if he did enough on that play. Given that explanation it seems Carroll probably would not have called that pass play had NE taken a timeout after the 1st down play. He probably would have run the ball up the gut with Lynch again. Who said this was easy. [/QUOTE]
