If EITHER guy executes properly, it's a touchdown.

Come on, man. The best running back in football, ball on the one yard line, and you're defending a pass play? Your own analysis shows the problem -- too many things can go wrong.

Im a Seahawks fan. That was heartbreaking to watch. My son was 2 or 3, barely knew how to talk, but he knew the word touchdown. As the whole party crowd was crying, he was standing in the middle of us all jumping up and down celebrating shouting "Touchdown! Touchdown! Touchdown!"

I've come to grips with the play over the years by believing that the Patriots player just made a nice play on the ball.

You're so old you qualify for the early round of the COVID vaccine...

Missed it by a few months, actually, if you do the math.

I thought it was a terribly stupid call then, and I think it was a terribly stupid call now. If it had worked, it would have been simply unconventional. But it didn't work, so it remains terribly stupid IMO.

I mean, other than the fact that they were 0-for-the-season in that situation and that he wasn't the best RB in football (DeMarco Murray)...

When guys don't execute, things can go wrong. Wilson could have not taken the snap properly, could have botched the snap, guys could have missed their blocks, blah blah blah. Again, if your supposedly all-world quarterback does his job, it's not even an issue.
