Being a fan of the Seahawks. I still get a knot in my throat when I’m reminded of that Super Bowl loss. Lynch was the best Seahawks player to date. Deserves more recognition than he gets
When Shawn left the Seahawks they assigned his number to another player. They didn't have to retire his number right away, just not use it till it came time. They haven't done anything since, and gave Russell all that big money which he didn't deserve. The Seahawks owner needs to get Carroll & Co out of there.
What makes it even worse (not a seahawk fan) is that Carroll has never just owned it was a bad play call and that the rationale he provides instead makes zero sense. He says it was called because otherwise they couldn’t have ran four plays in the time they had. And that’ll always be dumb to me. If you felt that way then run the ball, use your time out and then if you really think a pass has to happen do it then but rushing into a pass play like they did all to make sure they had time to run a play for every down will always be a terrible rationale to me. It would be better if the dude would just say that it wasn’t the right play call for that down and shouldn’t have been a call unless it actually became necessary. They’d already thrown a fuck ton on that drive to get there and Marshawn had been trucking that game and just had a four yard run. Hard to ever buy that Marshawn doesn’t get that yard and at the worst you can choose that pass on third down and even then maybe you have fourth down to run a last play considering the timeout was there to call if you didn’t get it after second down. If you did need to pass on third down and it’s incomplete you’re not running out of time. But man it’s so much worse when looking at the response from Carroll even nearly a decade later
Marshayn lynch is a good dude as a raider fan i wish he had more success with us but he was not on good teams. I also live in vegas and his dui arrest was a sad thing to see. He own a clothing store here and its sad that with all his money he couldnt take a taxi. But i wish him the best we all make mistakes and believe he is still a good person
He will next time still young and dumb and lil ignorant with age will come more wisdom some don’t mature like others no one was hurt so he can learn from it thank fully
Super Bowl 49 was the moment I hated Seattle for screwing over Marshawn. Since then when he came back to Seattle for a short time I started hating Seattle a little less
i gotta tell yall , i'm still pissed about that dumb ass call , i mean can you imagine allowing your team to lose a super blow just because you don't want a real bro from the hood to get the mvp ; damn right i belive the conspiracy theory and to this day i'm disgusted by it .
I'm not a Seattle fan, nor a fan of Lynch, but I respect him. I'm still sickend that they didn't give him the ball. I was watching it live when my jaw hit the floor. I can only imagine how the Seahak's fans felt.
Nah mayne his uncle had him high knee drills at the Alameda Beach wearing boots bro. Since he was 13 or so. I went to Oakland tech was 1 year older. He's always just been a down to earth dude
In a world full of fantasy and political correctness, beast mode is like a breath of fresh air! Really inspiring, showing us it’s cool to just be yourself.
They ain’t hand Lynch the ball cuz we all know he would’ve scored and got mvp. They wanted the mvp ofc Brady or at least Wilson if he wuda throwing a td, not homie from North O. ‘I’m just here so I won’t get fined’ ! U won’t get the ball either!! Lol cost is the SB 😒
Crazy thing is.. If Marshawn wasnt the way he is "off the field"?? THEY wouldnt have tried to pass the ball on the goal line.. And LT is my fav rb of all time. no matter what. But Beast was DIFFERENT. I felt like he was the EXACT same as me, but at the same time, different from every one else. My Chargers might be cheap.. But your Hawks are cursed..
As a Seattle fan I haven’t gotten over Carroll not giving the ball to MARSHAWN. Call a pass when MARSHAWN would have gotten that yard needed. Not only did that cost us the Super Bowl win, it broke the spirit of our team, even the defense, and we haven’t been the same since. I hope the football gods forgive us soon for not using our blessing of BEAST MODE.
They wasn't expecting no interception throw the pass if it's incomplete you still have three more Downs to do whatever but you're right they should have just gave the ball to beast mode
Marshawn was being extra with the media all week. Saying he was just there so he wouldn't get fined. He had one TD. If he gets that last ne he's mvp. Carroll wanted for his boy wilson. Carroll let trying to teach Marshawn a lesson, Lose him the superbowl!
