He should have at least given Cam some kind of option there. It was obvious the Seahawks were gonna be ready for that run.

It's possible that Newton had a read key of some sort.

He moved a RB in-line, IIRC. It's possible Newton had the choice of sending him out in the pattern or drag as a potential pitch option and elected not to.

Yeah true. It's possible he just made the wrong decision. He wasn't even really close on that run lol.

Wow. LMAO

That is nuts...wow

I thought Edelman got out of bounds but it was hard to tell for sure on the replay. If they used the timeout there with 28 seconds, assuming everything played out the same way, the incompletion took about 6 seconds, then the play that got them to the 1 took 7 seconds. They would've had to spike it which usually takes 10 or 11 seconds. It would've left them with somewhere around 4-6 seconds. MAYBE calling a timeout with 28 seconds would've bought them an extra play. But they thought it was better to run a hurry-up play and it worked. Edelman just didn't catch it.

What an asshole! :lame:

SUBWAY-EAT FRESH!

That's exactly what I expected to see them do as well.

I think this is just a simple case of McDaniels over-thinking the play.

As expected, it appears the Patriots upgraded at quarterback. Their defense has fallen off due to opt outs and due to free agency but it is still formidable. They will be a force in the AFC.

Going to Seattle and being a 1 yard play away from winning is nothing to be ashamed of.

It was 80% Belichick. 20% Brady.
