Took a chance?? So what?? Lottery winners take a chance. Do we write books about lottery winners??
Sure, there's chance involved in everything, but having the smarts to see it through is what separates a Henry Ford/Thomas Edison from some guy who just throws crap at the wall to see what sticks.
That was, hands down, one of the dumbest play calls in the HISTORY of pro football. You got three plays left and either Russell Wilson to sneak in the ball or Lynch to run it in. What kind of moron chooses to pass up the middle with that much on the line???
BTW, it was just as stupid for the Pats to score on 2nd down in the previous drive just before the two minute warning. They could have run an additional play, burned the clock down to 1:30, and THEN scored. Seattle didn't get down near the endzone until 20 seconds were left. They might not have ever come that close if Brady/Belichick would have simply had the smarts to run another 30 seconds off the clock.
