M. Diego asked in SportsFootball (American) · 6 years ago

Now that Super Bowl hype is fading away, where does the last play of SB 49 rank among the biggest blunders? What about most clutch plays?

Knowing that game ending interceptions are not uncommon nowadays

1) Was it worse than Leon Lett celebrating ahead of time? or Scott Norwood missing the FG inside the 30?

2) Is Butler's interception more clutch than Mike Jones running side by side to tackle a much faster player running at full speed?

Update:

I'm taking about the last Seahawks offensive play, not the Patriots kneeling down

    I'm stunned that Russell Wilson has escaped blame for that lame throw that cost Seattle the game. If he puts the ball on Lockette's hip instead of lobbing it at his grill, worse case is the receiver is stopped short of the goal line.

    Wilson blew the game with the worst pass in Super Bowl history, since Garo Yepremian, and nobody is calling him on it. I wonder why that is?

    It ranks number one: The ball is on the 1-yard line; you have what is arguably the best power running offense in the NFL; your running back has been in beast mode all day; you have one time out, three downs, and 30 seconds to go to win the game. Your decision to throw the ball in that situation is inexcusable, ESPECIALLY since it cost you the Super Bowl, back-to-back Super Bowl wins. The oldest granny at the senior center who knows squat about football would not have called that play.

    I think is was a clutch play, not a blunder.
