Game 7 was the worst ever as a Cards fan.
Tudor can find the strike zone
Andujar becomes idiot Andujar
Saberhagen decides to throw the game of his life

Something people forget and that dumbass commentators don't realize is that the patriots sent in more CBs that very play expecting pass. Serious FB people know that you have to pass there.
I always understood the logic of why they did it. I think the decision gets a lot closer when you consider who they had to run it. For example, if I was the Patriots, I'm probably throwing there too.
At they say, personnel, personnel, personnel.
For a misconception: Finkle would have made it if the laces were out.
Related: Scott Norwood gets shat on. A 47 yarder wasn't a chip shot. I think people think sometimes it was closer or something.

Didn't Schiraldi give up the hits but Stanley threw the wild pitch?

But presnap, you're thinking TD or incomplete. Throwing an incompletion there was the only thing that guaranteed Lynch getting the ball twice because they had one time out left.
If you run there and get stopped, you have to burn time out. Then if stuffed again on a run, game over.
It was 2nd down. They could have run it on 2nd. Timeout
Thrown on 3rd.
And do whatever they wanted on 4th
Not to mention that 1st down occurred at 1:06. They wasted time

The real GOAT was the reliever who had a 2 run lead in the bottom of the 10th with 2 outs and nobody on base. 3 straight base hits plus a wild pitch tied the game and had the winning run on 2nd base. It boggles my mind that whoever it was (you see, nobody talks about him) blew that game and remains anonymous.
The other side of that coin is that Fisk's 12th inning homer was the most photogenic of game 6, but not even close to the most important. Bernie Carbo tied the game in the 8th inning with a two-out, two-strike, 3 run shot to dead center field. Without that, the Sox go down in 6 with barely a whimper.

I am fine with the play call because they only had one timeout. So idly they would have gone pass, run, timeout then run/pass on 4th for the game if needed. If they went run-TO-pass-run they risk pulling a UGA in the SEC title game where the receiver catches and burns out the clock without scoring.
Butler just made a boss play on the ball. It had nothing to with play call, that is a pass should never get picked. Wilson lead a hair to forward and Wide Receive went up like a bitch.

I hope to one day to reach your level of bullshite
Same 1 read play makes that unlikely. Anyways, they should have gone no huddle and ran the ball again with 50 seconds left

this is a lot riskier because something like (below) can happen and you have no one to stop the clock

Throwing from the 9 is a lot different from throwing at the 1.
They ran a 1 read play. So he was either gonna throw that ball or throw it out of the back of the end zone
I think they were expecting NE to take a timeout
My apologies

i hear you. I still do not think it was necessarily a bad call. They just got beat on it.
Maybe you are right, even if Lockette caught the ball Butler was right there to blow him up

3-0 lead in the top of the 8th, one out. Proceed to allow 8 runs to score, blame one fan when several were reaching for the ball.
Curse of the billy goat my arse. More like the curse of being a shitty fan base.

The argument is that by running and calling a timeout, it sets up a scenario where they have to throw on third to have a chance at stopping the clock. I'm more of a "go with what got you there" kind of person. And what got them there was Lynch being basically unstoppable.
