Malcolm Butler of the New England Patriots intercepted a pass intended for Ricardo Lockette on the one yard line, which stopped the Seattle Seahawks from winning back to back Super Bowl’s . There has been many speculation where the Seahawks should have ran the ball since they had the best running back in the league at the time, but in a quote from Geoff Schwartz “for those who argue that Seahawks should have run the ball, where would you have liked them to run it? There are eight defenders in the box against six blockers, and they have leverage based on alignment against a possible inside zone from shotgun.” Schwartz is a retired nfl lineman so he knows the ins and outs of the nfl, so everyone needs to stop making fun of Seahawks fans.
Seattle Seahawks fans are tired of hearing jokes about passing the ball on the 1-yard line, or someone saying we should definitely run it at the 1-yard line guys, it gets annoying when they bring the past from 3 years ago and every Seahawks fan you ask they will be mad if you mention the words Super bowl 49 and Tom Brady and every Seahawks fan will argue that was a Pass Interference and it wasn’t called which it should have been called. Russell Wilson called the right play and there was no where to run the ball the gaps would have been all closed and yes Marshawn Lynch could have ran it on the outside but that would’ve been stopped right away, Marshawn Lynch was at a 4/15 rushing Touchdowns at the 1-yard line. A quote from Deion Sanders “The worst call in NFL history”.
That is why everyone should stop making fun of Seahawks fan’s for Superbowl 49.
