What was Carroll or Russell thinking on that last play call?

I agree and Pete should have been right on top of an official to call the TO. Seattle receivers ran their routes really slow those last two plays

Run a fricking slant, pick up 15 yards and call a timeout to setup a 55 yarder.

I'm still confused as to what the frick Mike Smith was thinking calling timeout with 13 seconds left when he controlled the clock.

That game should have ended with that kick

Should have ran straight up the field.

Not sure if serious...not only would that have taken more time for the 15 yd slant, but it would have at least ran 1-2 sec off before the timeout would even be called. They did the best that they could have done in that situation imo

The guy spent 3 seconds running sideways to get out of bounds. Receivers can run 40 yards in less than 5 seconds. They can run a 15 yard play in 5 seconds.

Again, this is about risk reward. The risk of trying to gain 15 yards in 6 seconds is much less than attempting a Hail Mary on the final play.

The 5-yd out left 2 secs on the clock. I doubt they had time to run a 15-yd slant.

all seam routes would have been the correct call

6 seconds was all there was on the clock.

which is why an out-route is fricking retarded

They played that half the way they ended the 1st half.

Worked out well for the Falcons. I'm happy that carroll's an idiot
