I still like Pete Carroll.
Why will I always think of Pete Carroll as:
He has time and downs for 2 plays…. and a time out left to boot
ball on less than the one yard line…
He had the BEST back in all of professional football, a BEAST of a man who’s has NOT been stopped all day.
The offensive line has blown holes in the Patriot defense all game long.
And he calls a dangerous pass play over the middle into total congestion.
Will never forget the call or the play….was stunned….sat there and watched the screen with my mouth open.
Total lunacy….
Only equaled by the Falcons a few years later who have the ball on the Patriot 21 with time running out….can seal the game with a chip shot field goal after a running play to center the ball in the hash marks…
And they call a PASS PLAY…
And OF COURSE Ryan gets dropped for a HUGE loss
Forces a punt instead of a field goal
And the rest is history
Oh and the idiot offensive coordinator who called the pass play….instead of being fired….gets hired as a head coach the next year.
Lunacy abounds…..
Two of the Patriots Super Bowl wins should have never happened. Never.
