He had nothing to lose (they'd have easily been able to run off a minute had they held, Seattle only had 1 TO) and everything to gain. As it played out, had Seattle scored, they lost 20-30 seconds. Thanks to little #21, it was all moot.

Exactly, VERY strange back to back bad coaching decisions! I was thinking the whole time, "how is Belichick NOT calling a timeout here??" A TD would have made it a 3 point Seattle lead and almost a minute for Brady to get in FG range. As I was digesting that crazy non timeout call, I see Wilson drop back to throw the ball.....*facepalm*
It just boggles my mind how (with still plenty of time to kill on the clock) a passing play is called over the MIDDLE where everybody is bunched up! Insanely awful playcall at the 1 yard line by Bevell and Carrol that will no doubt haunt them forever. No doubt about it, Tommy Terrific's 4th SB was gift wrapped tonight by Bevell and Carrol lol.
