People like to criticize the decision to throw on that fateful 4th quarter play from the 1-yard line, but the call wasn't that bad in my opinion. The Patriot DB just made a helluva play.
Think about it, no one is expecting pass on 2nd down. Third down its a distinct possibility and the element of surprise is gone.
Carroll has as much admitted that he tried to catch NE off guard and it didn't work.
I know they have Marshawn Lynch, but running it in from the 1 isn't always a given.
It was a great Super Bowl between 2 teams I can't stand, but in spite of that, it had me riveted.
