The Goat Pen

Glad to see crotch embracing Facebook.

My personal favorite

Been hearing alot about what a good decision it was on Bellicheck's part to not call a timeout at the end, thus forcing Seattle's hand. Of course Rat has been saying how stupid Bellicheck was to do that...

Everybody is Monday Morning QB'ing and postulating on motives at this point. It's easy because everyone can be right and only Pete Carroll can be wrong. Gotta love the risk-free play.

I can understand the monday morning QB thing because hindsight is always 20/20

but in this case, nobody in America would have faulted him for having Lynch run the ball in and give Brady 20 seconds to score a touchdown with a kickoff.

If Brady pulled that off, it would have been super human.

I think its safe to say 90% of America thought - ok, game is won, Lynch will get the ball into the end zone now.

I think I would have run him (or done my favorite play which was play action, QB keeper option, tight end chips at the line and hits the back corner of end zone). However, Lynch was 1/5 this year in goal line runs. He was running like a man possessed at the end of this game, though. So, I don't know if it was foregone that a touchdown was imminent via the run.

If you want to call it a percentages play, however, Lynch has worst success from the 1 yard line this year than the rest of the league did via passing from the 1 (which did not result in a turnover for any team this year...until Sunday).

Some hack is reporting that a Seahawks player told him Carroll didn't want to go with Beast Mode because he didn't want him to win MVP. He wanted Wilson too. Not sure I believe that.

Yeah, I read that too. I think Jamelle Bouie said that someone from the Seahawks texted him that. It just doesn't make sense.

That tells me more about the Hawks locker room than it does about Pete Carroll's decision making. Lynch did an excellent job taking the high road.

What people are losing sight of is the fact that the play would have worked easily if not for a fantastic fucking play by Malcolm Butler.

That kid made a helluva read. Props to watching game film!

I guess Kearse used up all their luck with that catch

Dave. No doubt.

So where did Snoop Jr. decide on?

UCLA

Cincinnati got a really good QB from my area. Ross Trail is the goods.

Interesting. I thought he wanted to get away from the 213/310. It could still work out for him, but something in my gut has me preferring he left SoCal.

Snoop was heavily involved in his child's football at an early age, coaching (and sponsoring a team) when the kid was in pee wee league.

I think that's testament that a kid with marginal genetics can be trained and coached up to excel in sports...and I'm just saying that because Snoop doesn't strike me as the athletic type.

Yeah, he's very tall but does not appear to be a natural athlete. It's funny though because the one episode I did see of Snoop and Cordell's ESPN show, it appeared he was playing largely because his dad wanted him to (bc he said so in the show). I worry about kids who don't have overwhelming talent and only a passing love for their sport. It should get him a degree, hopefully.
