[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 597903"] There is some method to Belichic's madness. Not calling the timeout before 2nd. down left 0:26 on the clock at the snap with Seattle having [B]one timeout [/B]left. Belichick's argument might be he was limiting Seattle's options on their 3 remaining snaps by letting the clock run down. Seattle could have gone: (1) incomplete/huddle/run or pass/timeout if necessary/run or pass, or (2) run/timeout/incomplete/run or pass In the postgame interview, Carroll stated that his strategy was (1) in order to get all 3 plays in, while having run/pass option on 3rd. and 4th. down. Note that approach (2) provided the run/pass option only on 4th. down. It would appear Belichick was willing to risk that he'd correctly anticipated Carroll's thinking and the likely play calls, thereby trading a last possession (with limited time on the clock and perhaps no timeouts) for better odds at making a stop. There are reasons this guy has won 4 Superbowls that have little or nothing to do with cheating. [/QUOTE]
