52. I'm starting to wonder...

Feb 2015

It was second-and-one on that play and they had one time out. Could Coach Carroll have been thinking...

on 2nd Down we'll run a short pass. Russell should be able to hit that easily. If he doesn't...
on 3rd Down we'll have Russell rush it in. If that doesn't work...
on 4th Down we'll call time out, turn our safeties and defensive tackles into offensive linemen, and get the ball to Marshawn Lynch.

All of which went out the window after Butler fucked it all up.

Since Coach Carroll is so good at molding young and inexpensive players into a great team, if Seattle loses a lot of guys after this season - not REAL likely, but possible - they'll be back in the Super Bowl within two years.
