Great quote on Channel 4 coverage that has been attributed to many different coaches over the years apparently: "when you throw the ball, three things can happen – two of which are bad."
To me it seemed a very low percentage play at a crucial time. Ballsy move that would, of course, have been praised if it had come off. But it didn't, so it looks really, really stupid.

"This is the most persuasive defense of Pete Carroll's decision to throw that pass"

"On further reflection, it was New England Patriots’ coach Bill Belichick’s call on the play before that won the game."

Thursday Night Thootball!
This will be a close one I think.
Bears have the packers for their opening game. This will determine how the season gets played I reckon. Fingers crossed it's a good one

After being introduced by the missus (originally of New Jersey) to the Packers last year and slowly getting hooked, we settled down to the first game of the season through the dubious nfl2go service.
I was jealous of her Rodgers jersey so ordered a Matthews one for myself before the end of the first quarter. Looking forward to being that couple walking around town on a Sunday.
A good start to the season, Bears still suck, Go Pack Go.

If you want a trip down memory lane
Superbowl XX at the 'House of Pain' with the visionary Mike Dikta and Buddy Ryan bringing home the goods with a team of freaks and unreadable 46 defense strategy led by Mike Singletary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLH2JcCkS1w
Friends from Chicago say this was a day never forgotten or repeated in NFL history.

Hindsight is 20/20. Its easy to say it was a stupid play call after the ball has been picked off, but Lynch has been average at best on short and goal to go all year, and if he gets stuffed thats the last timeout burned or the clock running. I'm not saying it's the perfect call, but it's not ridiculous to ask your QB to try and surprise a defence with a pass and to throw the ball away if nothing is open, stopping the clock, and still giving your running back two chances to pound it in from the 1. (especially in this case with the added threat (excuse the pun) of a QB option.)
I'm not saying it was the perfect play call either, but in my mind it's perfectly logically defensible, in that there is "no" situation where what happened should happen. That ball should have been send straight out the back of the end zone.
