The reality is that to succeed in the NFL you sometimes have to do what's unexpected and take a chance. I'm not sure this was exactly the play I would have called in that situation to take that chance but I applaud the Seattle coaches for going with their gut and going against the grain. If their fake field goal against the Packers hadn't worked out, they would have been skewered a game earlier.
This time it just didn't work out for them. That's football.

More good points.
More from the "I'm not an NFL coach" angle: I was actually saying that New England should've let Lynch into the endzone on his first attempt so Brady would have almost a minute to get into field goal range. HA!
I also thought the Pats drawing the offside on the next play was equally as exciting
