Where is the blame for Russell?

    I was thinking Russell fake it to Lynch and keep it. If they had to pass then do a play action. At least use Lynch as a decoy and keep the ball in Russell's hands.

    Listening to Pete afterward and today ... he saw it as a wasted play. He wanted to call a timeout, couldn't and to Sven's point ... was expecting Bill to.

    Having to call two timeouts really, really hurt.

    Fuck, I could go crazy psycho analyzing all this bullshit.

    I was thinking Russell left butt cheek, if that doesn't work, timeout then try right butt cheek, if that doesn't work up, up the hole right before time expires.

    They were rightfully expecting NE to call time out.

    You don't fucking waste plays in the last minute of the Super Bowl when you're behind.

    Fuck.

    Sometimes you have to give credit to the other guy making a great play ...

    Lockette could have run a better route (may have given away the fact that he was running a slant, and Kearse could have perhaps done a better job of setting the pick (but you CAN'T take a penalty there), but Lockette didn't alligator arm that play. He just simply got beat to the spot in the end.

    If you look at the view that Wilson had BEFORE he made the throw, everything looked right on the throw. If you want to be a hair critical, you could have argued that maybe it was just a hair to the outside and could have been lower. But let's be honest, if the Pats player doesn't make an incredible break and beat Lockette to the spot, Lockette's got a perfectly placed ball for the TD.

    The play call wasn't great for a number of reasons ... and I don't feel like going into why it was so fucktarded.

    But I don't think Wilson's throw was all that bad ... sometimes that shit happens in the NFL.
