[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 597909, member: 7277"] I'm almost inclined to believe Bellichick just got lost in the moment. It seems implausible to me that Bellichick somehow anticipated not burning the timeout leading directly to a questionable 2nd down pass play by Seattle which somehow led to the goalline INT. If he anticipated that entire series of events, he's far more football genius than I've given him credit for. In any event, Carroll still had the run/run/run option all along. The 2nd down snap occurred with 26 seconds left (also, they could have hiked it with more time left if they had desired). Had it been a straight running play, even if Lynch is tackled in the field of play it's likely this would have happened for 22-23 seconds left, which would have left plenty of time to get back up to the line, run it again, and still call timeout with time left on the clock if it came down to 4th down. Of course there is always the chance for some goalline chaos. Lynch goes down right at the goalline, no signal yet as time ticks off, and finally they are forced to burn the last timeout on 3rd down rather than risk any more time coming off the clock. Could have happened that way if they had run on 2nd down. Hard for me to believe though that they wouldn't have been safe to run it 3 times if they snapped 2nd down with 30-35 seconds left. [/QUOTE]
