My Twitter feed says the Seahawks should have run the ball

Like everyone else I thought to myself, “why?”

Why did Seattle throw the ball there? With Marshawn Lynch and plenty of time to run two or three more plays, why would you throw the ball?

This was one of the most unanimous responses to anything sports-related on my twitter feed, so I thought I’d share some of it. Just seemed like the right thing to do.

Crazy. Seahawks had that game and then shit themselves. Maybe that pooping celebration was a harbinger.

Time to fire your offensive coordinator…

Yeah let's not let the greatest red zone running back punch it in.

On my death bed I will wonder why they didn't give it to Marshawn

— Flea (@flea333) February 2, 2015

I for one can not wait for Marshawn Lynch's postgame press conference. #SuperBowlXLIX

— Matt SantaMaria (@MattSantaMaria) February 2, 2015

Lynch was averaging 4.3 yards per carry and had 102 in the game before that pass play

Text from buddy: "I'm in shock right now. Seattle scores, I win 15k in my box pool."

Yes. Worst play call ever. But give rookie Malcolm Butler credit for a brilliant play.

Worse call in NFL History. Pete Carroll will never recover from this. Give the damn ball to MarShawn Lynch. Horrible! Horrible! Horrible!

Hmm I bet Lynch has something to talk about now!
