You run Lynch 3 times.
If he don't get in, I don't think anybody would cry that they should have tried a pass up the middle.
I'd say 99% of the football watching world would not bet the Pats stopping Lynch short of scoring on 3 attempts from the 1 YL.
He11, at one point Bellichick seemed to be contemplating letting them score to save time and get brady the ball back. I was thinking it myself, but decided at the moment I'd not have done it.
If anything else, you spread the field and have Wilson roll out. Giving him the option to run or pass to an isolated receiver being covered 1 on 1 in the corner. Or something like Brady's last TD pass tp Edelman. Low risk. It is safer than even a fade, and he can always throw it away or step out. That said, I would have ran 99/100 times.
Basically, you do just about anything other than what they did.
It was an epically bad call. And you don't have to a football coach to see that.....
